ABOUT:
Megan is a commercial portrait, lifestyle, and kids photographer based in Jersey City, NJ.
Over 20 years working in the photo industry helps her bring a solid level of professionalism to her photo shoots, while still maintaining her goal of having fun and creating a positive experience for her subjects and her clients.
Her photographic style incorporates a fun sense of spontaneity, in a well thought out composition. This combination helps create the quirky look of her photographs.
Megan is a “Jersey Girl”, born and raised in New Jersey. She received a BFA in photography from School of Visual Arts. She loves a good story, a glass (or two) of quality red wine, and a stylish pair of shoes. She has a soft spot for rescue animals (especially her insanely hyper pit, Zeke). She dislikes when people communicate poorly. She is incredibly hard working, and loves to play as hard as she works. She is skilled at home improvement, loves to ride her bicycle, and has a motorcycle license (but has never owned a motorcycle). Megan has an infectious laugh, and loves to use it. She listens to a story as well as she tells one. She’s as comfortable dressing up and dining at a 5-star restaurant as she is camping by a lake. She loves traveling. But the love of her life is her equally beautiful and talented daughter Sofie.
