I went to Old Orchard Beach for a friend’s session, and while I was working on this gallery, it hit me…

This is my 4th season doing this for OTHER families. 🥹

Photography isn’t something I randomly picked up one day. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl, and since 2020 I’ve been trying to learn everything I possibly can — lighting, posing, editing, working with kids, chasing toddlers, watching the sky, what makes a dogs ears stand up, finding the right angles, and figuring out what makes a photograph actually feel like something.

I started a photography career because I love being able to freeze the moments people don’t realize are going to matter so much later.

The sandy toes. The way your kids look at you. The chaos between the posed pictures. The season your family is in right now before it changes again.

I’m still learning. I’m still pushing myself. And every gallery I finish reminds me how grateful I am that families trust me with their memories.

Here are a few from the Old Orchard Beach gallery I’m working on now. 🤍

It's all in the details

I finally bit the bullet and replaced my Tamron 100mm macro lens for my Nikon for a Sony G 90mm Macro and boy can I tell the difference 😍

These are always a favorite for parents.

I love this pose so much. The tiny hands under the cheeks, those little toes peeking out, and that sweet sleepy face — it just shows off every tiny detail I never want parents to forget.

Booking fall and winter babies now!

You don't have to wait until baby is born to book a session.

I think I’ve been staring at this image for too long. 😂

I photographed this sweet newborn on Sunday, and this is exactly why sneak peeks are sometimes the hardest part for me.

Sometimes I LOVE an image before I go to bed and wake up and question everything. Sometimes I need to post them and walk away, come back with fresh eyes, and let myself really sit with the gallery. When you spend hours looking at the same colors and tiny details, your eyes start playing tricks on you.

But newborn sessions will always have my whole heart. The tiny fingers, sleepy faces, little stretches, and all of those details that change way too quickly.

And with fall right around the corner, I’m looking for expecting moms due this fall and winter. 🍂❄️

If you’re pregnant—or know someone who is—now is a great time to get a newborn session on my calendar. You don’t have to wait until baby arrives to reach out.

For now, here’s a little peek at Sunday’s tiny model while I keep staring at this gallery for entirely too long. 😂

This year photography brought me all the way to Colony Beach in Kennebunkport for an extended family session. 🤍

Part of this family traveled all the way from Washington State and another part came from Virginia, meeting here in Maine and making time together something worth documenting.

One of my favorite parts of photographing vacationing families is getting to meet people from all over the country. I genuinely love hearing where you’re from, what brought you to Maine, and a little about your lives outside of the hour we spend together.

Travel has always been a huge passion of mine, so being able to combine travel with photography really does feel like a dream.

And maybe one day a family will say, “Megan, we want you to come to us,” and fly me somewhere new to document their family. ✈️📸 I’m putting that one out into the universe.

For now, I’m finishing up this beautiful Kennebunkport gallery today and sharing five more from their time together at Colony Beach. 🌊

For all those that are always behind the camera, you deserve to be included in your families vacation memories too. It's not always easy to capture everyone together. Let me be the one to document it all! 🤍

Pine Point Beach + young love at its finest. 🤍🌊

Couples sessions don’t have to feel stiff or overly posed. I want you moving, laughing, getting your feet in the water, and just enjoying each other while I capture what happens in between.

These two made that part pretty easy. 😍

There is something so fun about photographing young love—the way they look at each other, the laughing, the little moments that happen without me having to ask for them.

If you’ve been thinking about doing a couples session, consider this your sign. You don’t need an engagement, anniversary, or special occasion to have photos together.

Late summer and September are absolutely beautiful at Pine Point, and I’d love to get a few more couples in front of my camera before beach season is over. ❤️

Message me if you want one of the remaining spots.

Old Orchard Beach by the pier 🌊

These kids had absolutely no interest in sitting still for the traditional “Christmas card” shot… but that definitely doesn’t mean the session was a fail.

We got A LOT of photos.

For a typical golden hour session ( with or without the sun 🤣), I try to deliver around 150–200 soft-edited images for you to choose from. I already have this gallery narrowed down to 236, which means there are plenty of those candid, lifestyle moments that I love so much mixed in with the more traditional shots.

Those are often the images that end up being my favorites—the ones that capture real expressions, movement, connection, and raw emotion.

And eyes will always get me.

This kid had the most stunning blue eyes, and the second I took this photo, I knew it was going to be one of my favorites from the entire session.

Sometimes the photo you thought you were trying to get isn’t the one that ends up meaning the most. ❤️

This final gallery from June at the Eastern Promenade is officially complete, and looking back through these photos makes me want to go back again soon. ❤️

This was another one of my Airbnb clients, and the whole experience was fantastic. I’ve loved getting to meet people visiting Maine and helping them capture a little piece of their trip while they’re here.

And sometimes your family looks a little different. Sometimes your babies have fur, four legs, and absolutely no interest in looking at the camera when you ask. 😂🐾 But they’re family too, and they deserve to be part of the memories.

If you’re visiting Maine and want to document your trip—with your kids, your partner, your fur babies, or all of the above—I’d love to photograph it.
