“Meredith is an AMAZING photographer. I have been with her for the entire day, capturing my sister’s big family wedding and had her over to our home for an intimate session to capture our new family of four and she is great in both settings! She somehow has worked her magic and captured amazing photos of my entire family (a feat when that includes an ornery corgi, an energetic 4 year old, a newborn and some tired parents)! She is our forever photographer and we will hire her to capture all of our important life moments! Her friendly personality makes it a joy to spend time together and she creates beautiful photos making it feel as effortless as possible!” – Emily
Forever Clients
It is one of my greatest joys to get to photograph my couples & families year after year. I love building friendships with my clients, and that they trust me with each of their milestones (and the little moments in between). This is why so many of my clients become “Forever Clients” – When you hire me, you’re not just getting a photographer, but someone who genuinely loves to celebrate your adventures with you! See some examples here!
