Hi, I’m Megan — the girl behind the camera!
I’m so happy you’re here!! I’m a Grand Rapids photographer with a love for the candid, imperfect, in-between moments that make photos feel like you.
For me, photography has never been about creating the “perfect” picture. It’s about capturing the people you love, the season of life you’re in, and all the little moments you’ll want to remember long after they’re gone.
Photos that feel like memories.
I want you to look at your photos and remember more than what you looked like. I want you to remember how hard you laughed. The way your person looked at you. How tiny your baby felt in your arms. The chaos happening just outside the frame. The people who were there and exactly who you were in that season of life.
That’s why my approach is natural, candid, and a little documentary. I’ll guide you when you need it (because no, I’m not going to leave you standing there wondering what to do with your hands), but I also know when to step back and let the moment happen.
The perfectly posed photos are important — but more often than not, my favorites happen five seconds later.
A little more about me
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably traveling somewhere, hanging out with my goldendoodle Remy, spending entirely too much time editing, or convincing myself that buying another camera is a completely reasonable financial decision.
I’m laid-back, a little sarcastic, and will probably feel less like a stranger with a camera and more like another friend tagging along.
I’ll fix your hair, tell you when the lighting is too good to leave, hype you up from behind the camera, and do just about anything for the shot.
Most importantly, I never want being photographed to feel like a performance. You bring the people you love and show up as yourselves. I’ll take care of the rest.
The reason behind it all.
Someday, the ordinary parts of your life right now won't feel so ordinary. People grow. Families change. Kids get bigger. Relationships enter new chapters. Places that once felt completely normal become places you wish you could go back to for just five minutes.
That’s why I take photos. Not just so you can remember what life looked like.
So you can remember what it felt like.
