I'm looking for High School seniors for my portfolio! Please contact me for special pricing!
Four months can be a hard age to photograph. They can’t sit up…have limited mobility…but boy do they make it up with their sweet demeanors and exuberant smiles! Little “N” was no exception. I think this is my favorite 4 month session I’ve had yet! Thanks for meeting up with me this afternoon!!
Her cousin jumped in for a few shots at the end too…how cute are they?
Check out the eyes on these brothers…big, brown, and gorgeous! We had three goals with this session:
1) shots of the boys (easy peasy)
2) a family shot (where hopefully there is no crying and everyone is paying attention)
3) a picture of both boys together (again, hopefully paying attention, not crying, etc)
Over all I think we had success! The boys did awesome. Thanks so much everyone!
katy: Wow! They really do have incredible eyes. I love the serious one. Usually boys wait until they are 10 or 12 before they get all serious for pictures!
Michelle: Heartbreakers! Beautiful work Megan!

Yesterday was sunny, beautiful….and hot! Luckily nobody melted too bad at Dale and Katy’s beautiful wedding at the arboretum. Here is a random sampling of their day.
A double decker took guests to the ceremony site
