Real giggles. Big hugs.

Maybe a little chaos—and a whole lot of love. The Family sessions are all about capturing the joy, personality, and perfectly imperfect moments that make your crew one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re chasing toddlers through a park or snuggling up at home, I'll turn those everyday memories into fun, relaxed photos you’ll love forever. No stiff poses, just real smiles and good vibes.

"BROUGHT MY VISION TO LIFE"

Working with Meg was an amazing experience. I felt very comfortable from the beginning. She is incredibly sweet and her work speaks for itself. She brought my vision to life and I will forever cherish my pictures. I would absolutely recommend her! I can’t wait to work with her again in the future ◡̈

Family Photo Session

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Let go of expectations—those polished sessions on Instagram often hide the real story. Kids will be kids, and that’s makes our photography special. The best moments are captured in joyful chaos, and I thrive in that energy!You can look forward to a fun and relaxed environment where everyone can truly be themselves. I'll guide you through a variety of poses, capturing candid moments that showcase your unique dynamic. It's the perfect chance to create lasting memories together, so come ready to enjoy the experience!

LOCATION AND TIME

We'll confirm the best time for lighting (typically early morning or golden hour) and a location that suits your family vibe - outdoors, at home, or a favorite spot.

WHAT TO WEAR

Coordinate (not matching) outfits work best. Neutral tones, soft patterns, and minimal logos help keep the focus on your family's connection.

WHAT TO BRING

Snacks for little ones, a favorite toy or blanket, water, any outfit changes if planned, sunscreen and mosquito repellant for outdoor sessions

KID-FRIENDLY APPROACH

No pressure for a perfect behavior! I keep things relaxed and fun to bring out genuine smiles and connection.

VARIETY

We'll take group shots, individual portait, and different combinations (parents with kids, siblings, etc)

DO's & DONT's

  • Keep your day as low-key and relaxed as possible.

  • Share what to expect with your spouse! It’s totally normal if they’re not as invested, so let them know how these photos mean to you

  • Come in with an open mind; we’re here to capture your family’s unique vibe. Think of those joyful interactions—like piggyback rides and snuggles—that will make the photos truly special

  • Embrace the playful moments to keep everyone engaged—remember, it’s all about having fun, not perfection!

  • ​Expect your kids to “listen” or “act perfectly.” Kids are naturally energetic, and some of the best photos come from their playful antics and genuine smiles! Instead of just training them to say “cheese,” focus on making them laugh to capture those authentic moments. 

  • Yell at your family prior to photos - believe me, I  understand how stressful it can be, and it might feel like no one is cooperating. But remember, it’s hard to have fun if there’s been tension on the way to session!
