• I don't want to jinx my self, but...
.. it has been an absolute
~d r e a m~ so far, the second time around.

Maybe it's because I was mentally prepared. Maybe it's because Aidan has been the absolute poster child for a Big Brother. Maybe because Kennie girl is everything we wished for and more. But, I am living on Cloud 9 right now, and I do not want to come down.

We'd like for you to meet.....

Our Daughter, McKenna Rae Horak 🌈 ✨ Born on 5/2/21 at 11:05 am. Weighing in at 8lbs 0.3oz 20&1/2"

It was a long and hard road getting her here, (will post the birth story later on this week), but we got our girl! She is healthy, she is beautiful and we are so in love. Aidan can not wait to meet his baby sister!

It's so funny to think about how we have known her name since I found out I was pregnant with Aidan. She was just waiting for the perfect time to come to us 😊 Our little rainbow baby🤍

• As the final days of just us 3 approach, there are some things you should know. Aidan-- My Bubba, you will always be my first born, my baby, the one who made me a mama 🕊

I wouldn't be where I am without you. I wouldn't be the woman I am today, without you. You have taught me patience, you have made me grow in ways I didn't know how, and shown me a love I never knew existed.

I promise to always do "Bad Dreams & Northwind" before bed, to never stop going on Adventures with you, to continue to nurture your love for photography, and to embrace your interest in bugs and all things that give me the creeps. I promise to always give you the last bite, to hold you until you're ready to let go, and to be there for you, even if you want to do things by your self.

I am so emotional over this chapter ending, but equally excited and overjoyed to watch you become the best, most loving and protective big brother I know you'll be.

Thank you for the most amazing 4yrs, I love you more 🤍

• Today marks 1 month from my due date 🤍

I feel like we just announced we were pregnant again, and now the babe is right around the corner! The docs say I will go early for a couple of reasons 😬Excited, anxious, and blessed are what I'm feeling (along with uncomfy and tired but that comes with the territory). Aidan is going to be such an amazing big brother 🥰

I am officially on Maternity leave starting Tomorrow & that is definitely bittersweet. I have referred so many inquiries because I was unable to accommodate (but super happy for the other photogs you beautiful clients chose!)

I will still remain present on this little app, and will post when I feel good and up to it. I aim to be back to work by the beginning of July, and will be reaching out to all of you prior to your sessions to plan the details!!

July is fully booked but after I know more, I'll release my full summer calendar ! 🌞 I am so excited to work with all of you!!!

Love you all!
xo, Meg ✨

• 5 years ago today, I came home from a work trip to Germany. Upon landing, my girl dragged me to the clinic in Baltimore, because I hadn't been feeling well the entire trip. We got to the clinic, I got my vitals checked, peed in a cup, the whole shebang. Waiting, waiting, waiting. I'll never forget those words as I sat alone in the exam room, "Room 3? Oh yeah, she's pregnant I'll tell her in a second..."

(You bet your ass I called Arthur right away! April Fool's Day or not, I was not going to panic alone!)

5 years of adventures, snuggles, tears and a love like no freaking other. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the entire world. Nothing. Not one thing.

Now I'm 5 weeks away from making Aidan a big brother, and I can't believe how time has flown by. Aidan, you make me so proud to be your mama. My little gentleman, protector, biggest and best helper, goofy boy with a heart of gold, strong as a lion and a smile that will knock you off your feet.
I love you more ✨

*Full nesting mode over here, hence the posting silence. But had tell this story again, because its a forever favorite.*

• A FAQ I get while booking a Newborn Session is: "What Time is Best For You?"

Let me stop ya there. YOUR Newborn Session is not about me, AT ALL. These sessions are based completely around the babe's feeding/napping schedule.

Will there be moments of fuss, sure! Will we have to pause for an extra feeding or a diaper change, absolutely! And that is okay! There is a certain flow I follow to ensure maximum smooothnessss (like a baby's bum 😆)

I am also the oldest of 4 girls & a soon to be mother of 2 -- so TRUST ME, I get it.

Have any questions?? Shoot me a DM! (And maybe save this as a reminder for later 😉)

What are 3 things you would absolutely NEEED if you were stranded on a desert island?? 🏝

I'll go first. Besides my family:
1. chapstick- its a serious addiction
2. music- music feeds my soul
3. my camera (🙄cliche, I know)- but its how I express my self when I can't gather the words.

Now you👇🏼👇🏼

• ❗️WHY IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SIN TO PUT A FILTER OVER AN ALREADY EDITED IMAGE❗️

: This is something I am extremely passionate about, and I am already cringing! 😖 Here is why👇🏼:

1. You (hopefully) hired your photographer because you loved their style: editing, compositions, light, creativity etc. Putting a filter over our art is like, buying a dog but dressing them as a cat every day-- you might as well have gotten the damn cat. (Same goes for this; if you were gonna throw on a filter, why bother paying us to then slap us in the face and throw your money away later 🤷🏼‍♀️😬)

2. WE WORK DAMN HARD! Editing is more than throwing on a preset and adjusting the exposure. If you hired the right photographer, they CREATE MAGIC ✨ and it shouldn't be vandalized with sh*tty instagram filters.
(2B. Imagine staying up until all hours of the night, writing up a full report for your boss, only to have them write their name on it the next day? Filtering an already edited image is like that in a way.)

3. Every photographer has their own style. Modern photography is an extremely saturated market as it is. So, we do our absolute best, to put our best foot forward and stay one step ahead. If we are being tagged on an image that isn't our best work, or work that doesn't emulate us as creatives, it makes it that much harder to stand out authentically and proudly! (& sometimes not even getting credit-- which is a whole other issue!)

4. TRUTH: It's awkward AFFFF to message someone about this topic. So please, do us all a favor and just don't do it. Trust me, the filters rlook awful and some aren't even compatible with professional images. If you are interested in a specific look, do your research! Like I mentioned earlier , there are a tonnnn of photographers out there today, all with their own styles-- do your leg work and find the one that's right for you in EVERY way!
