About Your Bay Area Family and Newborn Photographer
Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a Bay Area newborn, family, and maternity photographer and a mom of five. With five loud and energetic boys, I understand the beauty and chaos of family life and how much care it takes to bring everyone together.
That experience shapes the way I photograph families. I create sessions that feel easy, calm, and natural—embracing the movement, noise, and unpredictability as it unfolds. Rather than perfectly posing, I gently guide and allow kids to be kids, creating space for real connection so your session feels relaxed, unforced, and truly reflective of your family.
When the experience feels simple and unrushed, it leaves room for the moments that matter most—the ones that slip by before you realize how quickly they’re gone. From the tiny newborn days to first smiles, first steps, and all the in-between moments, childhood unfolds in a beautiful blur. As a Bay Area family photographer and a mother myself, I’ve felt firsthand how fleeting these seasons are. Photography allows me to preserve those everyday moments—so you can return to the feelings, the closeness, and the love long after the moment has passed.
Specializing in printed fine art, I aim to create stunning pieces that grace the walls of homes, bringing you back to these moments as you walk through your home every day.

Testimonials
“Megan is amazing! My family had a wonderful time working with her, and the pictures are amazing.”
“Megan is amazing and so great with kiddos!!”
“This was the first time I met Megan in person and she made the whole experience so comfortable and stress free. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. We think the photos capture such a precious time as a family and in particular, our 15 month old son and his huge, developing personality. I know as my son gets older, these photos will become more and more precious and meaningful.”

Why I Became A Bay Area Newborn & Family photographer
I grew up in the Bay Area, and after leaving briefly for college, I knew this was the place I wanted to come back to and raise my family. There’s something about the light here, the mix of nature and city, and the deep sense of community that has always felt like home to me. Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until I became a mother that it truly turned into my calling. Those early days with my own children opened my eyes to just how fleeting and meaningful this season is, and I found my passion in newborn and family photography.
Today, I work as a Bay Area newborn photographer serving families throughout the region, including newborn photography in San Francisco and across the East Bay. I’m endlessly inspired by the beauty around us, from coastal beaches and open skies to tree-lined parks and classic neighborhood streets. Exploring favorite photography spots around the Bay Area allows me to create sessions that feel natural, relaxed, and deeply personal, whether we’re capturing newborn photos, baby photography, or meaningful family moments.
My approach to bay area newborn photography is centered on ease and connection. I know how overwhelming life can feel with a new baby or young children, so I take care of everything—from planning and styling guidance to creating a calm, unrushed environment—so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience. Sessions are designed to feel gentle and comfortable, allowing real emotion, quiet moments, and genuine connection to shine through.
As a mom and family photographer in the Bay Area, I understand how quickly these seasons pass. My goal is to create newborn photos and family portraits that feel timeless and honest, images that bring you right back to this chapter years from now. I’m honored to document your story through newborn photography in the Bay Area and beyond, and I would love to help you preserve these fleeting moments in the place we’re lucky to call home.
