super experienced

I’ve been a professional photographer for more than 14 years. That means I’ve seen it all — every type of weather, every wedding day mishap, every wardrobe malfunction. Let’s just say I know how to keep it consistent, pivot like nothing happened, and make sure you stay in the moment and feeling good. no rookie mistakes happening here. :)

I'm a legit business

There are tons of photographers out there (you’ve probably noticed). A professional photographer, though, has liability insurance, business licenses, operates with gear backups, storage backups, requires a signed contract, collects & remits state-required taxes, complies with photo permit requirements at every state/national park, and so much more. The business side can be boring, but a legit business will survive for years and years to give you gorgeous, reliable, consistent photos. And we’ll likely be able to help you restore your lost photos even a decade later. :)

“meg is phenomenal. she made our day so special and i am so thankful to have had her with us. highly recommend!” 
— p&c

“go hire meg to be your wedding, engagement, baby shoot, or just every day photographer now. go. i’ll wait.”

creative personalization
dialed up to 11

From date-night questionnaires to moodboarding, I go in-depth to read your energy as a couple and create a unique experience for you. I use all of those neat little details to shape your photo experience without stiff, awkward, unflattering poses. It’s not just about the camera, the editing, or the technical know-how. It’s about making people feel comfortable in their own skin. I bring out the natural you for photos that feel alive, relaxed, and genuinely emotional.

accessibility-minded

You do not have to be a hiker to have gorgeous outdoor portrait or elopement photos! Having a disabled spouse who uses a wheelchair — and a nervous system disorder myself — I understand more than most how to navigate locations for accessibility and keeping stress to a minimum (while still having magical photos). You should never feel embarrassed or weird for needing to rest, hydrate, or using mobility aids.

your personal
elopement guide

You don’t have to know all the details yet to reach out and start planning! I help you pin down the details; an experienced voice to help you decide on what you want, where you want to go, and how you want it to feel. I’ll give you location suggestions, the best timing for good light at your favorite spot, give you ideas to make your day super unforgettable, and more. I can even sign as a witness or even officiate. 

bringing your
vision to life

The difference between good photos and amazing imagery has everything to do with how you connect with your photographer. My approach is centered in investing as much emotional labor as I do technical know-how into my sessions and elopements. This isn’t just photography, it’s a curated, artistic + emotional experience. 

frequently Asked

The PNW!

I live on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington state and photograph adventures all over the Pacific Northwest (and beyond). I’m happy to travel to you, or with you, wherever your story takes place. 

Then you’ll be getting that famous PNW experience. ;) 

I double as an amateur weatherman, so we’ll do what we can to avoid it, but at a certain point, I think it’s healthy and grounding to embrace it! Unless it’s like… torrential downpour flooding, of course. We’ll have a backup plan (or 2) on standby and switch it up if we need to. 

You totally don’t have to have an exact date to book a collection and start planning! The plus side is that by having some flexibility, it’ll ensure I have availability for your elopement. :)

Not anymore! I’ve found the best tempo for my body and creativity center more around naturally-paced, intentional moments, rather than high-intensity timelines. I now stick to elopements and micro weddings with 15 guests or less. 

Hey, welcome to the club! 👋

This is a super common fear — most people feel weirded out in front of the camera because it’s a vulnerable place to be! As a lifelong shy kid who hated being in photos, I’m right there with ya. That’s why I developed my approach specifically for people like me. I don’t think you’re as awkward as you’re worried you are; you just need someone to meet you where you’re at. I’ll show you what I see from my eyes and I think it’ll make all the difference. 

My process involves date night questionnaires, unlimited video consults, mood boarding, and so much more. I have rituals to help align my creativity with your vision so that we can really, truly connect and create something like a dream. You don’t need to know how to pose or be a model, either. I use a combo of intuition + good timing + prompts + natural poses to help capture your magic. 

F*ck YES! I’m passionate about really connecting with everyone I photograph and believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, kindness, and respect – no matter your race, sexuality, ability level, or gender. I’m committed to helping people feel seen, celebrated, and at home in their own story. 

I can totally help you narrow it down! I tend to focus on locales where we’ll have freedom to roam, don’t have to hike forever to get to, and gives us the ability to get creative. Check out some of my favorites [ here – link to elopements page ] 

With my style of photography, I think leaving a little extra space is a really important component of creating photos that feel amazing. 

I’m here to help you visualize how things might unfold and figure out what will work best for your vision! My base coverage for lifestyle sessions typically starts around 1.5-2 hours. For elopements, I recommend no less than 3-4 hours (it flies by faster than you think). 

It’s worth the wait! 

I’m a perfectionist when it comes to edits. I care that your full gallery is consistent and beautiful because these are your memories for LIFE. So from start to finish, my process is centered in intention. 

→ 1 week after your elopement or session you’ll receive a sneak peek preview gallery so you have something to swoon over while I work on the rest. 

→ 6 weeks for lifestyle sessions is my general maximum wait. Average delivery time is around 4 weeks. 

→ 12 weeks for elopements and micro weddings is my general maximum wait time. Average delivery time tends to be within 5 weeks. 

Photography is often heavily seasonal, so time where I’m actively in the field photographing sessions and weddings is time not spent editing. It all depends on my work load, travel schedule, any time off/human things, and how many photos I snapped of you! 

It’s all about quality > quantity.

I don’t focus on a specific number of photos; I put my effort into telling an artful story in the best way I can. Each wedding, elopement, and session varies in terms of the details, number of people, and length of coverage or depth of detail. In general though, I tend to deliver at least 30 final photos per hour of coverage. I’m guessing you’ll have more favorite photos than you’ll know what to do with. ;)
