Meet CDT Miller Webb, Class of 2027! This session was from Oct 13, and we lucked out not only with the beautiful fall colors, but an incredible sunset as well. Perfectly fitting for this amazing West Point cadet. She is going to do great things!

Show some love to Miller by sharing this post! 🎉🎓🥰

Hi everyone!! I have been working tirelessly for your Firstie photos this season, so much so that I haven’t even had time to post anything yet! It’s getting colder out (peep my heated vest!!) - and the colors are just incredible. I really barely have any openings left for this fall but could potentially fit in a few more morning sessions!

Don’t forget to book your Spring sessions and Fall 2027 sessions now! Now that I’ve had a chance to do a few “busy seasons” full time, I know what my limit is, so there will be a time when I am fully booked. I’m grateful to all of you for sharing my work and helping my business thrive!

Just some of the best colors you can imagine! This session for then-Cadet Ryan Scott was right in the middle of peak Fall foliage in 2025. I can't believe the leaves are already well on their way to this point again this year! This session took place on Oct 21, but with the Nor'easter we just had last weekend, I'm thinking peak foliage might happen a little earlier this year. We shall see! BUT, no matter when your Cadet's session is scheduled, I'll do my best to make magic happen!

I am so grateful to be fully booked up this fall. If you wanted a fall session and didn't get on my calendar, please shoot me a message anyway. I am opening up some morning sessions and I still have the option to double up on certain evenings for golden hour.

Ring Weekend 2026! This shoot was so much fun. We did some family photos for a couple of the cadets' families, and then we headed over to the Plain to get some sweet shots with the helicopters.

Immediately following Ring weekend- where cadets receive their class rings in a formal ceremony- Black Hawks, Apaches, and Chinooks are flown in and put on display on the Plain for Branch Week. (I believe the one in the photo is the Chinook... correct me if I'm wrong!)

Two of these cadets met at prep school in Alabama and have been roommates since then, and every year at West Point! The 5 of them are all best friends, and they will all be groomsmen at one of their weddings next year! Just goes to show you the bonds created here are as deep as it gets.

Before I get into all the upcoming fall sessions, I wanted to share some different types of photoshoots I did over the summer.

For this one, LTC (Ret.) Jeff Gibbons wanted photos of he and his wife to commemorate his 28 years of service to the Army. They had not had professional photos taken since their wedding in 2004! It was an honor to capture these photos for such a wonderful couple. We were also so lucky to have perfect weather and gorgeous skies for this July session.

If you know a couple who wants some photos with this epic view as a backdrop, it's always a good time to have a photoshoot! Do it for an anniversary, to celebrate a big life change, or just for fun. 😍

***this is not me!!!***

Hi everyone! It has been brought to my attention that when you search for my name on this platform, it immediately pulls up these negative reviews for other people with the same name as me. I have NO idea why FB is doing this to us, but it is not cool!! This is a photo of what comes up when I search for my business. At the top shows me, and if you click on my picture you’ll be brought to my page.

BUT right underneath is a negative review, and if you look carefully there’s actually a SEPARATE post under that with photos that actually could pass as mine, so it can be very deceiving!! If you click on that negative review, it will send you to a different photographer’s page!

Please be discerning when using search. If you search, click on person you searched for and go TO THEIR PAGE; you will find accurate reviews and posts that way.

Thank you 🙏

**last minute photoshoot availability for THIS THURSDAY (tomorrow) at 5:15 pm! It'll be a beautiful day here at West Point and I hate to waste an opportunity for a perfect golden hour! This can be for CADET, FAMILY, or MATERNITY. If you book this last minute session you will receive a $100 photo credit towards an album or wall art order through me.

Over the summer I had the pleasure of taking these beautiful maternity portraits for Loraina's family! We did both Lusk Reservoir and Trophy Point for this session, and it was SO windy, which made for some effortless flowy dress photos! I absolutely love when it's windy especially for women with long hair or dresses, because it adds the element of motion to the images and I feel it really brings them to life. Despite the frustration it may cause you to have your hair flying every direction, I still think it's totally worth it!!

NAME CHANGE!!!

For almost 10 years I have been "Megan Cardone Photography". Many life changes have occurred since I began this business, and since I am now Megan Helm, I am officially announcing our new name: MEGAN CHRISTINE PHOTOGRAPHY!

After endlessly debating with myself and consulting many savvy friends, I've decided this new name will allow for the smoothest transition and the least amount of confusion. For the next few months, I will be slowly rolling out the changes on social media, my website, and my contracts.

It would REALLY help me out if you **shared this post** to help this news reach the most amount of people! Thank you!!!

Today we are featuring class of 2026's Grayson Farrell! Grayson had a great spring session with gorgeous lighting. I had a hard time picking favorites for this post! We had gorgeous scenery with Trophy Point, the Supt's Garden, Douglas MacArthur's statue, and more. All of my sessions have some "standard" poses but I also add a touch of personalization based on your preferences, any props you might have, and of course it's my main job to follow the sun and play with light!

If you want photos like these to commemorate your cadet's time at West Point, please reach out soon! After yesterday's post I am about 75% booked up for this fall. I have many people ask if I'm booking for future years and the answer is yes! If you sign your contract now, even for a class of 2030 grad, you will lock in current pricing.

Also please be aware the business name will soon be transitioning to MEGAN CHRISTINE PHOTOGRAPHY, since I am remarried and no longer using the name Cardone. 🥰

Welcome back to school, West Pointers! I'm about halfway booked up for this fall's Firstie sessions and I hope lots of you get to see this post so we can spread the word and fill up our schedule. As I always say, it is my absolute JOY to work with these amazing young adults getting ready for the end of their West Point Cadet journey. It is my honor to capture these photos and present the highest quality digital images, albums, and wall art to the families who supported their Cadet through it all.

If you still need to book your photos, please don't wait! Starting next week, I'll be reaching out to all Firsties individually to firm up dates and times for their sessions. If you want a specific date, please PM or email me ASAP to make sure we can make it happen! Thanks!!
