In no particular order, here is one image each from most of my photo sessions in 2018. It was a good year. To the people who invite me into your homes and into your birth spaces, you are amazing, and I am so grateful to you for valuing my work, and for giving me a way to do what I love so very much.
Thank you for visiting. I'm excited to be sharing some photos from this Pascack Hospital newborn session. Most of the time, when I do one of these "Fresh 48" sessions, it's for a birth client. I LOVE to photograph the siblings meeting, and those don't always happen in the first couple hours after birth.

I've been photographing families in Northern NJ and NYC for ten years. I love love love that this is my work and my life. As my own life has changed over the past decade (becoming a mom, leaving my corporate career, personal growth), my style has developed and evolved from portrait to lifestyle to more documentary.
A new tiny love is joining your family. What occasion could be more important to capture than this one? The support of your partner, the amazing strength you didn't know you had, the looks on your faces when the baby arrives, the first time you hold and nurse your tiny newborn - These are moments, full of love and joy, that happen once in a lifetime and can be remembered clearly with the help of photographs.
I love hearing from my clients when they see their photographs, and then continuing to hear from them years later when they look back at them. The texts and e-mails and Facebook messages they write mean the world to me! Here are a few of them! Please also visit my Facebook review page for more kind words.

When I first talked to Maegan, I was unsure if I wanted to have a birth photographer because I was unsure if I wanted to add another person to my personal, intimate, birth haven. She was super sweet and friendly and reassuring so I decided to have her there. Now I am so happy she was a part of my birth! The pictures and memories she captured are so special. She went above and beyond to capture these specials moments for me and my family. I can't thank her enough, these are cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Maegan is so lovely. You will want to become friends and invite her back when the session is through. She makes the you see the beauty in the mundane details of your life in its current state- tying your child's shoes, preparing a snack, playing in your yard. Every time you look back at her photos you will have a new favorite.

Maegan is amazing. Having her photograph the birth of my son not only calmed the environment but gave us photos that we will cherish forever. Outside of the hospital, she has captured some great photos of my family just being my family, which I have found is how my kids take photos best. There is no sit down, pose, and stay still. She is a wonderful person and knows how to help keep you calm when you feel any but. I would 100% recommend Maegan as your photographer.

We love Maegan! Her photography is amazing. We hired her for some maternity photos and had hoped to have her for our birth photos. Unfortunately, with COVID, the hospital wouldn't allow birth photos. But, Maegan came down to Asbury Park with us for some socially distanced maternity photos on the beach and we love them. After the baby was born, we invited her to our house for some casual newborn photos as a family. They were fabulous and we used them for our Christmas cards. More than one person said how cute they were - and several said they put our cards with her photos on their fridge!! She's

I am so glad we met Maegan and were able to have her photograph our family a few times over the past year, including the birth of our son. Her work is absolutely amazing and the images she captured of our growing family are priceless. She came to our home while I was still pregnant and was wonderful with my camera-shy daughter. She photographed us in our own space just hanging out and somehow managed to make a regular Saturday look so beautiful! The images from this shoot have become even more meaningful to us now as we have since moved homes. Honestly though, Maegan is more than just a skilled

Maegan has been photographing my family every six months for almost 4 yrs. Inviting her into our home is always like having a friend over for coffee. She is so friendly and easy going. She makes the entire experience relaxed and comfortable. She is so personable and just talks to us while she captures us being us. Before every visit I plan to create a list to share with her of the "cute" or memorable things my boys are doing at their current stage. I NEVER remember to make the list, but Maegan AWAYS seems to capture everything I love about my boys at that age. These are pictures I will treasure

We received a photo shoot with Maegan as a baby shower gift and it was one of the best gifts I've ever received. Maegan spent the afternoon casually with my husband and me and our four kids. She was not on tight schedule and therefore she was able to capture so many precious moments as my children played and wandered around our property. I cried when I saw the photos she had taken. Maegan has a true gift for snapping a photo at the perfect moment of sweetness when siblings are giggling together or throwing a look back over their shoulder; when being tossed in the air or children are sharing a special

Maegan defines photography to me - her pictures epitomize the magic of every day life and connection in an incredibly beautiful and unforgettable way. She has captured priceless moments for my family over and over again with her warm loving spirit and calm presence. She documented my daughter's adoption homecoming, my son's birth, my growing belly, precious lifestyle family moments at home, nursing my boys, bonding with my kids through stories games and cooking, and so many other moments I will never forget because of the power of her photography. Thank you thank you Maegan - you are worth every
