ENJOY
Newborn
Newborn sessions with me take on a lifestyle, natural approach. I want you to look back on your images and remember how it felt to hold that sweet babe in your arms, how soft their fuzzy little cheeks felt against yours, tiny their little bottom was in the palm of your hand as you patted them to sleep, and to almost be able to smell that sweet newborn smell.
These priceless sessions are all about capturing those sweet moments as a family with your new baby. They can take place in the comfort of your own home, in my lifestyle studio, or even outdoors somewhere beautiful.

Milestone
Milestone sessions are some of my absolute favorites. My hope with these sessions is to preserve as many of the memories of their first year for you in beautiful images that they will love to look back on when they are older.
Milestone sessions are intended for baby only, however, if you would like to add in any family members we can definitely discuss! I suggest milestone sessions to capture 3 months, sitting (usually between 6-7 months), Crawler (around 9 months), and 1 year old. They can take place in my studio, in your home, or outdoors. A discount is offered for multiple bookings.

If you haven’t noticed yet, there are a few underlying themes to my images. Connection, joy, and love. I am laid back, fun, and full of tried and tested ideas for getting you interacting and enjoying your favorite people.
You can let all the stress and worry melt away into a fun hour together where you play, snuggle, and explore together. Kids aren’t perfect manikins that we can pose for pictures. They are beautiful souls filled with wonder, joy, and energy! So, we meet them where they are, and the result is much more beautiful than posed. I promise!

BOOK YOUR SESSION
"Meg has a truly special way of making you feel like you’ve known her your entire life the very first time you meet her. Her joy and passion for being behind the camera is so apparent and sessions with Meg are so much fun. Her photographs are incredible and something my husband and I will cherish forever. Meg is the best.
Maddie Bergeson
"What can I say about Meg? She's the actual best! Not only does she take amazing photos and perform expert editing, she is kind, gentle, professional, and always prepared. One of my kids is extremely outgoing and Meg always brings the energy for her, getting her to sit still just long enough to get the perfect snap. The other is extremely shy and cried through his entire 1st birthday shoot. You can't tell in any of the photos that he was melting down. She managed to get so many gorgeous shots that captured his sweet little personality perfectly.
We have done shoots outdoors and in her beautiful studio and both experiences have been fantastic. She's part of the family at this point and I can't imagine ever hiring anyone else. We love working with Meg and look forward to her capturing our future milestones and memories as a family.
Krista Jabri
Meg has been there for maternity photos of my first baby, newborn photos, and three years of family photos with the latest including my second born. She is absolutely amazing to work with, and her eye for beautiful shots is unlike any I've ever seen. She is so kind and patient and has a way with the little ones that makes you feel at ease. I'm so happy that she has been there to capture such beautiful moments in my life and I am so proud to have those moments shown throughout my home.
Lea Talbot
I dread family photos because my kids never enjoy it, but this was the BEST experience. So natural and not forced. Just real, genuine smiles and emotions. She played games with the kids and made it so fun for them. I'm obsessed with every image!
Ashley Green
Meg is amazing. She not only takes wonderful photos, she captures the moment, the feeling, the everything. Her positive and calm demeanor makes the sometimes stress of family pictures disappear. Your pictures will be stunning. Meg has a passion and love for photography that radiates through her photos, and they're pictures of you! Seriously, it's a time capsule of your life, book a session with Meg
Amber Siefert
We had a wonderful experience working with Meg. She is so personable, funny, and calming. Having three boys ages 6 to 19 you can imagine we had some less than thrilled participants. Meg made each boy feel important and brought out beautiful smiles from them. Their individual shots catch them in a perfect light and exuding their personalities. She caught some very special moments that day. Our family photos are a priceless treasure and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
Jessina Murphy
"We had an amazing experience with Meg!! She took milestone photos for my 3 month old son, and I was absolutely blown away. Her studio is gorgeous and completely outfitted with everything - all we had to do was show up! I could tell Meg has a lot of experience with babies and young kids. She was very welcoming, easy going, and professional. The pictures themselves turned out better than I could have even imagined!! I am so glad we captured this fleeting stage and we will cherish these photos forever.
Natalie Fish
"Absolutely amazing! We had some family and newborn pictures taken with Meg. I received an email with some great tips and information to prepare for the shoot. The studio is so cute; clean, and full of gorgeous natural lighting.
Meg was so great with our toddler. She kept everything calm and chill! The newborn shots turned out amazing.
Her edits are gorgeous! I absolutely love the contrast and softness of the pictures. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

The FAQ’s
I have a wild child and I’m afraid they won’t cooperate. Should we get family photos or wait until they are a little older/easier?
I feel overwhelmed at the task of picking outfits for everyone. What works best for pictures?
I’d like to book an in home newborn session but my house doesn’t feel picture worthy.
When is the right time for a Maternity session?
When should I book my Newborn session?
How long will it take to receive my images?
You should never delay in getting family photos. Your wild child is in your here and now, and your here and now deserves documenting. I'm going to let you in on a little secret - the spirited ones make for the most priceless images! All you have to do is meet them where they're at. Let them explore, run, jump, throw them up on dad's shoulders, swing, toss them in the air, play chase or peek-a-boo under a blanket. Trust me when I say that the secret for great pictures is allowing them to be themselves, and being there with them in that moment. I'll be there to capture the wide eyed wonder, windswept hair, and belly laughs that ensue!
Your home does not need to be magazine worthy to be the perfect place for your lifestyle session. A perfect home is different for everyone, but one thing is certain. Your home is where the beauty of your everyday life unfolds. In-home sessions are deeply personal, meaningful, and heart warming. They'll transport you back in time to this stage in your life more so than any other session because they capture the intimate details of your simplest, purest of moments together as a family. Your children will look back on the images and see the home they grew up in, the nursery that you worked so hard to create for them, and the gatherings spaces in your home where you made so many memories together. Your home doesn't need to be perfectly clean either! Instead we'll discuss the best rooms in your home with good window light, and you can work on decluttering just those spaces.
Since it's impossible to know exactly when baby will arrive, I usually recommend booking for your due date. Once baby arrives, we can select a date that works for everyone. I recommend holding the session when baby is 6-14 days old to capture them at their tiniest and sleepiest. If you would prefer waiting until baby is a little bit older, that's great too! Older newborn photos are different, but just as beautiful!
