It is my passion, to help you freeze these moments in time. To capture everything from the last few weeks of carrying your first little one, to their little fingers and toes, to their first cake and to your whole growing family. Every person and family I photograph is made up of such unique spirits with amazing stories and I love to capture what makes your family so special.
As a mom of 3 myself, I know how important it is to be able to look back at these memories and smile, remembering each little gesture and expression and silly face that make your children and your family who they are. I want to be able to help you create beautiful photographs to look back on, so you can have a lifetime of memories.
Your premier Newborn and family photographer in northern new jersey
Hi, I'm Megan
am so excited you're here and I can't wait to get to know you and your family! We all know how easy it is to get caught up in the craziness of daily life that we forget to stop and enjoy the moment.

I graduated from Monmouth University with a degree in psychology with the intention of pursuing a career in animal training. Life had other plans however, and after meeting my husband, I was given an amazing opportunity to live in The Netherlands for nearly 5 years. Though I had taken photography classes in school, and even worked as a staff photographer before going to college, it wasn't until I experienced the beauty around Europe that my passion for photography truly ignited. While I loved getting to photograph landscapes and architecture during all of my travels, it was the birth of my first son that made me realize photographing people, especially children, was my calling. I started my business soon after moving back to the US, and am so blessed to genuinely love my job and get to experience so many amazing moments with my clients. Now with 3 children of my own I know more then ever how important it is to cherish each and every moment because time moves way too quickly. I am so excited to continue my journey now that I am back home in New Jersey and see what other adventures life has in store!
My background story
am a Jersey girl born and raised. For 24 years New Jersey was my home and after living in several other states and countries I am thrilled to be back here raising my family.

A Look into my
Life

My kids are my world. They are loud and crazy and exhausting and chaotic and still bring a love to my life like I never knew could possibly exist before I held each of them. One of the things that my kids have taught me is that even when we're afraid things won't work out the way we want them to, we need to be brave and keep trying new things and keep moving forward. My kids give me the drive to keep working hard every day to make sure I can give them an amazing life.

I know some people hate Disney crazed adults but I am a Disney lover and proud! We took my oldest son to Disneyland Paris on a whim while living overseas when he was 18 months old and he LOVED it. It was such a magical experience for all of us that we knew we wanted to make trips to Disney part of our family traditions. Disney offers a type of magic unrivaled by anything else and I love to let my children experience magic as much as possible!

My husband and I were blessed to be given the opportunity to live in The Netherlands for 4.5 years not long after we were married. While it was a bit difficult at first to adjust to the culture and being so far from family, it became such an amazing experience and in so many ways it still feels like home to me. We lived in Amsterdam for 2 years and Rotterdam for 2.5 years and my first son was born there as well. It will always hold a special place in my heart and I can't wait to take my kids when they are older!

With 3 kids traveling is quite difficult these days but we try and travel as much as we can! While living overseas we were able to visit so many amazing places and more then 30 countries and I know I will never lose the drive to drink in as many cultures, and experiences as possible! My favorite places are currently Paris, Ireland and Switzerland. Norway and Russia are also high on my list! I hope to add some Asian countries to my list in the future!

Traveling

One of the best things about getting to travel so much was getting to see the artwork all over the world. From the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh's Sunflowers to the Pieta and David and so many amazing churches and castles, I have been lucky to get to see some of the most amazing works from all over the world. I love getting to take some of the lighting and posing and perspectives I have gotten to see in this art and apply them to my own artwork as well, especially my photography!
