learn more about me
Hi, I'm Megan, and I'm so glad you're here!
Photography is my way of storytelling; of capturing the moments that make life so beautiful and uniquely yours.
I specialize in weddings, senior portraits, and family sessions, focusing on the genuine emotions, connections, and little details that tell your story.
I am an artistic documenter of your most special moments.
What truly makes this line of work special for me is the relationships I build with my clients. I believe the BEST photos come from REAL and authentic connections, and that starts with the one I build with everyone I come in contact with.
Please take a look around, and if you feel like we'd be a good fit, let's connect! I would be honored to help you document your story!
Wedding, Senior & Family Photographer

the experience
Photos as unique as your family. I take the time to get to know you so I can capture moments that actually feel like you. Whether it's your kiddos giggling in the tall grass or a vintage vibe that screams nostalgia, your session will be as one-of-a-kind as your family.
A creative eye and a big heart. As a photographer (and a fantasy writer and reader in my spare time!), I see stories everywhere I look. I don't just snap pictures, I tell your story through images that feel timeless and magical.
A mom who gets it. Let's be real... life with kids is messy, unpredictable, and at times chaotic; and I wouldn't have it any other way! As a mom of three girls, I know how important it is to freeze those fleeting moments. I promise to always do my best to make your session fun, relaxed, and stress-free, even if your toddler decides today is not the day for smiles.
the perfect fit?

"Our experience with Megan at Madeline Studios Photography was fantastic 100% of the time. We found her from a recommendation from a close friend, and used Madeline Studios Photography for engagement and our wedding photos. Megan was always patient, kind, excited to be doing her job, and always had a smile on her face. Her attention to detail is amazing, and she was able to get every shot we wanted. Most amazingly, is that she took the time during group, extended family photos, to make sure each person could be seen, and that there was at least one photo of each group where everyone was smiling and no one was blinking. She was able to have that eye for detail, but worked so efficiently. She also didn't mind when other family members asked her for photos- and we loved seeing photos of so many loved ones! Everyone kept saying the entire wedding "Wow, she is so good!" and she truly is. Megan is worth every penny and I will love our photos for years to come, and can't wait to work with Madeline Studios again!"
