About Meg
Hmm. . . this is the part where I'm supposed to tell you how much I "puffy heart" photography. How much I enjoy turning your moments into memories that will last generations and become heirlooms to your family. How a part of me is missing if I don't pick up a camera. How when I realized portrait photography is the only thing I really wanted to do, my business was born.
Well the thing is... that is pretty much how it went. Okay, so there is the part about how I'm a redhead and I have freckles, lots of freckles. How I drink lots of coffee and talk really fast sometimes. How I enjoy silence and laughter equally. How my kids inspire me every day. How glad I am that I stood my ground years ago defing my father and majored in photography instead of business. However, hindsight has me wishing I'd had the forsight to do a double major in photography and business . . . but ssssh don't let him hear that!
I suppose I should tell you about how being a mother as well as an artist I understand the slight panic parents have when they realize their childen's childhoods are passing too quickly. I know how important it is to capture the essence of a child at each phase because in a blink; they go from sippy cups, to bikes, to cars and then into the world on their own.
There is also the sad part of me that remembers my own mother, who I lost to cancer five years ago. A lesson learned the hard way that the people we love most won't always be with us. That photographs really are the best physical tangible reminders of our lost loved one. I know dearly how much each image of my mother is treasured in a ways I truly had not anticipated. Thrown in there too is a bit of regret ... because I never got around to doing the portraits of her and my sons as I'd planned the summer before she passed. We are all subject to the hussle and bussle of everyday life and sometimes we put things off that we can never get back. Time is funny like that.
As a photographer I want my clients surrounded by portrait art of their loved ones. That is my goal. Because I know the joy that comes from having beautiful images in your home. I know the contentment and peace of mind portrait art brings to you each day, no matter how long it's been since the portrait was taken. It's my goal to preserve a your moments of passing time and so you can keep today's moments . . . for tomorrow . . . and forever.
