We had a coffee table in my house when I was a kid, just like everyone else did. It stood right in the center of the living room, flanked by the couch and our entertainment center. It was a modular, Swedish thing with pull out drawers on either end and those drawers held all of our family photographs, the complete visual record of our lives.
My mother didn't believe in albums. I used to reach in and pull out great handfuls of pictures - photos, negatives, slides, polaroids - and sift through the different hair dos, pets loved and long gone, my grandparents' old house and my dance recitals. All in no particular order. I was fascinated with those drawers, and the images they held.

Margaret Soss has done several photos shoots for my family and we have been amazed by the quality of the photos. She advises on awesome locations to do the shoot and is very patient (we have 2 young ones) and is great at getting them to actually enjoy having their photos taken. Highly recommend Margaret!

Absolutely thrilled with our family photos taken at the HB pier. Margaret kept my 20 ish year old sons entertained despite the 7 am shoot. She had recommended that hour because of the lighting at the pier.
Margaret is prompt, professional, yet entertaining.
Definitely will be hiring her again, love my family photos and the professional head shots she has taken.

I had Margaret do our family photos, before my oldest left for college. They came out beautifully and the pictures she captured of just my boys are perfection. I highly recommend hiring her for your photos. She is hilarious, sets everyone at ease and can get a smile out of cranky kids and camera shy teens. We are due for updated photos and look forward to another good time with Margaret and her team!

Margaret Soss of MSP is fantastic. We hired her to shoot one of our Client Events and the feedback could not have been any better. We wanted outdoor portrait shots so they can be used for Holiday Cards. Margaret and her team showed up early, found the perfect backdrop, and delivered on everything we were looking for. We now have MSP scheduled for our upcoming 2019 event as well as a headshot photoshoot for our entire business team. Thank you Margaret and MSP...you all ROCK!

For a variety of reasons, we never got around to a family portrait. We were a little nervous since we really wanted this shoot to be special. Luckily, a family friend recommended Margaret Soss Photography. From initial contact, Margaret made us feel totally at ease. Not only did she answer every question I had, she did so with kindness and so thoroughly that we knew just what to expect every step of the way. On the day of our shoot Margaret and her team showed up ready to go. They efficiently directed our shoot without making us feel rushed. Perhaps, best of all, the whole MSP team made the whole
