Hi, I'm Meagan.

I’ve always been a creative person
— I just needed a place to put it.

A camera became that place.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Pennsylvania, but I don’t stay in one place very long.


Most of my time is spent moving between cities and countries — England, Ireland, Italy, and wherever the next ticket takes me.

 

When I’m not traveling, I’m usually in Pennsylvania, New York City, or Boston, already planning where I’ll go next.

I’m naturally outgoing and quick to connect with people. I’ve been told I’m calming, occasionally sarcastic, and good at reading a room. That instinct shapes how I photograph — noticing energy, timing, and the small interactions most people don’t realize matter until later.

MY STORY

I’ve always been fascinated by the past.

I’ve always cared about photographs.


My first camera was a Barbie Polaroid when I was five, and I never really stopped.

I hoard images — my own and everyone else’s. Looking at photos of my childhood or my grandparents, I don’t always remember the exact moment, but something still feels familiar. There’s a connection in them. Proof that a time, a place, and the people inside it existed and mattered.

That’s what photography became for me:
a way to hold onto what won’t happen again.

I have a strange awareness of time passing.

Photos quiet that feeling. They let you return.

What that means for you

I plan events for a living.

 

I have for nearly a decade, and I still do. Weddings, festivals, productions with a hundred moving pieces. I know how to build a timeline that actually holds, how to fix things before anyone notices they broke, and how to keep a day feeling calm when everything behind the scenes is sprinting.

I bring all of that to your session. You show up and be together. I handle the rest.

And I travel. Constantly. 15+ countries so far, three cities I've called home, and a running list of places I'm not done with yet. New York and London are second homes. So when you tell me you want photos somewhere you've never been, I don't just say yes. I start planning.

If I'm not on the move, I'm not quite myself.

I solo travel almost full time.

 

Not the curated, two-weeks-of-vacation kind. The kind where I know which train seat to grab, which neighborhood to stay in, and how to build a whole day around one perfect hour of light. I've navigated new cities alone more times than I can count, and every trip has made me better at this: reading a place quickly, moving through it confidently, and finding the corners most people walk past.

That's what you're actually booking when you book me somewhere new. Not just a photographer who's willing to travel, but a traveler who happens to be very good with a camera. I've already made the mistakes, missed the connections, and learned the shortcuts, so your session doesn't have to be anyone's practice run.

My Approach

I don’t want a session to feel like a task you have to complete.


It should feel like something you get to experience.​​

I guide gently, keep people moving, and create enough comfort that the camera disappears. Clients usually tell me they laughed more than they expected — that’s when personalities actually show up.

I love collaboration. When people bring ideas, energy, and curiosity, the images become more personal and less predictable.

 

I’m always watching for the moment that suddenly feels undeniable — the one I know immediately and can’t wait to edit.

​​

Those are the photographs that stay.

MY INSPIRATION

Travel made this clearer: everywhere I go, people are different and the same at once.


Connection looks universal.

Even when the world feels heavy, I get to document proof that love exists — between partners, families, friends, or simply someone in a place they’ll never stand again in quite the same way.

I photograph people so they can return to something real.


Not just how it looked, but how it felt to be there.

Some things aren't negotiable.
 

Everyone belongs in these photos.

All love, all bodies, all families, all stories. Whoever you are and whoever you love, you're welcome here, and you'll be photographed with the same care, celebration, and honesty as anyone else. This isn't a policy. It's the whole point.

Confidence isn't a prerequisite. It's a result.

Almost everyone tells me they're awkward in front of a camera. Then, about twenty minutes in, they forget it's there. My job is to build a session where you're so busy being yourselves that performing never comes up. You don't need to arrive confident. You'll leave that way.

Comfort comes before the shot.

If a pose feels wrong, we skip it. If you need a minute, we take it. If there's something you're self-conscious about, tell me once and I'll quietly handle it for the rest of the session. No photograph is worth you feeling small while it's made.

What I Stand For

MAY THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP

When I'm not behind a camera I'm probably on a train to somewhere, hunting down the best coffee in whatever city I've landed in, or home with my cat convincing myself I don't need to book another flight. (I always book the flight.)
