Hey there, I’m Meg

 

Memory maker, photo taker.

I’m an old soul. I shoot a lot of film with my 1965 film camera and you’ll often catch me in flare pants dancing around to 70’s music. When I’m not taking photos, I love to explore country pubs & go on weekend camping trips. I adore the High Country and all its magic. I love swimming in the river in summer. I love wearing my op shop jeans and snuggling under a blanket in winter.

I’m a simple soul, an old soul and a nostalgic heart. Making memories with you to document & preserve for years to come, is my greatest joy in life. It fills my soul full of life & love. This will never just be a job to me and that I’ll forever be proud of.

Come as a stranger, leave as a friend. I’ll see you for some magic soon.

My greatest joy in life, comes from sharing in yours.

My Why

I have had a camera glued to my hand ever since I turned 11 and was gifted a pink compact. I took it everywhere and then when it stopped working it was instantly replaced. I’ve had a camera for every important moment ever since then, be it with my little pink camera or my professional full frame DSLR, every time I press the shutter I am capturing a moment in time you will never get back!

I am drawn to the quiet moments, the simple and understated. A little newborn hand wrapped around their parents finger for the first time, the echoed laugh of a toddler and their big smiles, the way a mother connects with their baby when they nurture and feed them, the way a mother adapts early days postpartum with the biggest joy in their life for the very first time (or even second or third), the way a dad has that special touch with their child, the look a mother has in the weeks before she gives birth, the radiant glow when a mother finds out she is pregnant (and tells her photographer first), the way a hand can completely change the outcome of a photo just by its tender touch or even the way you embrace as a family.

I’m not here to capture the staged, I’m here to capture the real, a little raw and all the love you have in your heart. I’m here because that’s my gift and I’m here to give that to you forever. Your love story in a postcard, a portrait, a photograph to be remembered for years to come.

All of my soul, to capture all of your soul.

That’s my why. And I’ll rock it any day of the week!

I’d be honoured to tell your story.
