Capturing Moments
Bay Area Family Photographer
I'm a Bay Area Family Photographer and mother who knows how quickly childhood passes. The tiny hands that reach for yours, the belly laughs, and the way your children fit perfectly in your arms today. It's these little moments we think we'll always remember that fade the fastest. That's why I love documenting families in a way that feels true to this season of life. For over six years, I've been photographing families across the Bay Area, creating images that preserve the connection, joy and love that make your family uniquely yours. As a full-service family photographer, I guide you through every step of the experience, from styling and location planning to creating heirloom artwork for your home. My goal is to make the process effortless so you can focus on what matters most: making memories with the people you love. Based in Walnut Creek, I proudly serve families throughout the Bay Area, including San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, Sacramento, San Jose, and surrounding communities.

Family Highlights
Bay Area Family Photographer
- Will
Meg was such a wonderful photographer to work with. She made our family feel at ease and the whole shoot just felt fun and playful. Our kids warmed up quickly and Meg was great with directives to get the best shots. We just received our photos and looked at them together as a family. It was a lovely opportunity to get to work with Meg and we are so pleased with photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.
