Bay Area Family, Newborn, & Maternity Photographer


Capturing the beauty, joy, and Love of family life


About the artist

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a newborn, family, and maternity photographer based in beautiful Alameda, California. With four loud and energetic boys of my own, I understand the beauty and chaos of family life.

As a mom, I truly grasp how quickly each stage of your child’s life unfolds and how rapidly they grow. My children sparked a profound appreciation for those fleeting, precious moments that make up our everyday lives. I know how quickly those little moments can slip away, and how a photograph preserves those precious memories for you to cherish forever. It’s my joy to turn these moments into lasting works of art for my clients.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the best results, ideally, your baby should be between 5 and 10 days old. During this period, they are typically very sleepy and easier to pose.

However, if your baby is older, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I regularly photograph older babies and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings when available.

Please schedule your newborn portrait session before your baby arrives, if possible. This allows me to photograph your baby at the ideal age of 5 to 10 days old.

A family photo session can be held at any location you choose! We are so lucky to be surrounded by beautiful beaches, parks, and more. I’m also happy to offer suggestions of some of my favorite spots.

Children photograph best when they are happy and comfortable, which is why I always allow plenty of time for sessions. Typically, a family session lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour, giving children time to play, run around, and have fun, while also giving us their best smiles and expressions.

Contact me and I will answer any other questions you have!

Why I Became A Family photographer in Alameda California


 I grew up in the Bay Area, and after leaving briefly for college, I came back and decided to raise my family here. I moved to Alameda shortly after giving birth to my first child and immediately fell in love with our beautiful island city. I developed a profound appreciation for the tight knit and supportive community of families living here, as well as the natural beauty we’re surrounded by.

Alameda offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and urban charm, and is just moments away from the beauty of San Francisco and all the beauty the Bay Area has to offer. Whether it’s capturing the sandy fun of Crown Memorial State Beach, the beautiful trees at the Berkeley Eucalyptus grove, or enjoying the comfort of my home studio, each session is an opportunity to showcase the essence of family bonds against the backdrop of our vibrant Bay Area surroundings.

My commitment to my clients extends beyond photography; it’s about creating an experience that is relaxed, enjoyable, and truly reflective of your family’s dynamics. I understand the importance of making sessions easy and comfortable, especially when working with newborns and young children. My goal is to capture genuine emotions and personalities, allowing families to cherish these images as timeless works of art.

Being a family and newborn photographer in Alameda allows me to combine my passion for photography with my deep-rooted connection to this city. I am grateful for the opportunity to play a part in preserving the precious moments of your family’s journey against the backdrop of Alameda’s beautiful charm. I look forward to meeting you and capturing your story in this beautiful place we call home.
