My Story
Hello and Welcome!
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Meghan and I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer located in Clovis, CA. I LOVE my job! And my goal is to visually capture your story through my lens. I have been a professional photographer for 4 years now but have 6 years of experience. I am also what you would call a hybrid photographer, which means I shoot digital and film!
My journey started one Christmas (while I was in college) when my dad bought me my very first DSRL camera. It was love at first sight. I took that thing everywhere with me! I went to school in Los Angeles (UCLA) and studied English... I know what you're thinking, how on earth did photography become my full time job?
Well, I had a lot of friends who had cameras and we would meet up and take pictures all the time, but it wasn't until I met fashion/celebrity photographer, Jim Jordan, that I started taking photography a lot more seriously. I did a couple of workshops under Jim and even assisted him for a magazine cover with Kelly Osborne! Although, working with Jim was a dream come true, I quickly learned that high fashion photography wasn't my passion. I started to shoot photos of my friends (some of which were couples) who wanted grad photos.
That was when I knew I enjoyed photographing everyday people and the marked moments in their lives. Seeking to improve, I searched for an internship that would introduce me to weddings and would teach me how to make this more than just a hobby. I found Chloe Moore and she was amazing! I worked for Chloe for almost 2 years and learned SO much from her. I second shot many weddings, family sessions, etc. Once I felt like I had learned everything I could, I decided I was going to make this my full time job.
After 6 years in Los Angeles, I had built my portfolio and moved back to Clovis, CA. I wasn't planning on staying in Clovis, until I met the love of my life (who I am now married to)!!! So here I am, living in Clovis and pursuing my dream. I love what I do, and I am confident in my ability to capture your love story. I believe in bright and colorful images that represent the happiest and most treasurable moments in your life! My goal is to produce candid, timeless photos that you can look back at 50 years from now with a smile.
If you'd like to meet up over coffee and talk more about your photo session send me an email! I look forward to working with you!

Meghan has been wonderful! So far she has only shot our engagement photos and they are gorgeous! We love that she uses both film and digital, such a great touch! She is very flexible and accommodating. She also made us feel so comfortable when she was shooting us. It was such a fun experience! We cannot wait for Meghan to shoot our big day!
