Meet Meghan
Northern New Jersey Family, Motherhood &
Newborn Photographer
I want to capture the moments that pass too quickly.
Hi, I’m Meghan!
I’m a family photographer with more than 15 years of experience capturing the relationships that matter most.
My approach is relaxed, playful and centered around connection rather than perfection. As a parent, you don’t have to worry about making your children perform for the camera. I’ll guide the session, connect with them and give your family space to simply enjoy being together.
My goal is to create photographs that feel timeless, honest and unmistakably yours.
Fall Minis are perfect for families who…
Want updated family photographs for their home
Need photographs for holiday cards and gifts
Have young children who do better with shorter sessions
Prefer natural interactions over stiff posing
Love the autumn colors of Northern New Jersey
Want a smaller experience than a full customized session
Fall Minis are intended for immediate families only. Extended families, multiple households, outfit changes and customized locations require a full session.
