Mama’s Love
I count it a blessing when I get to capture a mother and her child. There is something so magical, even divine about the bond a mother and child share. There is nothing quit like it. Thank you Sally and Stone for letting me freeze these moments for you. I hope you cherish them forever.

Love, love, love!!!
There is something special about a single mom and her child. A special bond. You brought out how beautiful this mom is and Im sure she is beyond thrilled.
These are so gorgeous and natural! Love!
Someday....I would truly LOVE to have you capture me with my three little men! Gorgeous.
I love this session. It makes me think of how much I love my little boy. This is so sweet, and the lighting is amazing, as always!
Wow! I love these!! You really captured the love between this mom and her son!
These are so lovely Meg!
Wow! As a mama to a boy, this session just completely touches my heart Meg! The interaction you've caught between the two of them is something I know for a fact this mom will cherish forever!!!! Gorgeous light and processing!!!!!
These are really gorgeous! As the mother of 2 sons and grandmother to 3 boys, I think you captured this special bond between a mom and her son beautifully.
Gorgeous!
These are fabulous Meg. So sweet, mom and son pictures. They're both adorable! Great work again!
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring...

Joyfolie
I was so excited when I got the message from Jessica from Joyfolie asking me to photograph her new women's line of shoes. I knew this was right up my ally! We have similiar taste and I adore all of her products. We both agreed that Samantha would be the perfect model. I adore working with her and am so excited for her the career that lies before her. This girl has serious talent. I was also fotunate enough to book one of the Tri-cities most beautiful historical homes/events center, the Moore Mansion (Pasco, WA), for this shoot. I absolutley loved shooting here and I hope they'll have me back again. From the rustic staircase to the southern charm veranda, we had lots of gorgeous backdrops to choose from! They even let us sneak inside one of the upstairs bedrooms and we ended up getting some of my favorite shots in there.
I love working on projects like these, showcasing gorgeous product. If you haven't checked out the Joyfolie website, hop on over and don't forget to look at her gorgeous children's line of shoes. to.die.for.

Her shoes are amazing! Especially those brown ones, but my favorite shot was when she had on the yellow dress with green shoes and was in the doorway with her feet on the wall.
I think all the Gorgeous girls have you take their photos. Your pics are beautiful!!

Welcome to My Studio!
Well hello there! Come on in, and welcome to my new studio space. I'd love to give you a tour. Pour yourself a cup of coffee (if your like me, you'll add some raw sugar and a dash of cream), maybe grab a scone, and lets go in!
I've mulled over and over the decision as to whether I should rent a studio space locally or use what I have in the comfort of my own home. A lot of my readers know that we just recently finished building a new home. Well, we had a 350 sq ft bonus room above the garage that we just weren't sure what to do with. The problem... has been solved.
Because my business thrives off of relationships, and because I love to get personal with my clients, I decided that the most fitting space would be right here where love and relationships abound. I wanted it to be cozy, beautiful, elegant, and for people to get a sense of who I am when they walk into the space. What better way to get to know me than for a client to walk the halls of my own home? Seeing how I use my families imagery to decorate my walls, hearing one my little girls laugh (or scream) coming from the playroom, or just seeing me in my own space can tell a lot about who I am before you even reach my studio.
It's not a large space, but its my space. Come on in!
**NOTE**: 90% of everything in the room was re-purposed. Aside from the flooring, rug, and a few accent pieces, everything was used, re-painted, or refurbished in some way.
The following images are the things lying on top of my packaging area. They are 2011 Senior gifts that are going out this week. I wanted my last years clients to receive a thoughtful graduation gift to let them know I am thinking about them. They are mini moleskin journals tied with twine and topped with a pencil and a beautiful quote that I just love: " Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman.
The last thing we will be doing is mounting a projector onto the ceiling. With the help of a portable projection screen, I can't wait to start showing clients their images super sized!
There you have it! I hope you enjoyed the tour of my new studio. I hope that this space sees many friendships born, many memories made, and brings inspiration and peace to those who enter it.

when I see these wonderful pictures, all I can think is.. "let's live here!"
*LOVE* your new studio space! I can see your style come through just in how you decorated it. And it has great lighting!
i absolutely am in love with your work, your studio, your taste, your style, your everything! I am soooooo a new fan and gonna start stalking your blog!
-Diana
This is so gorgeous! We are finishing construction on a studio space for me and I have been picturing these very colors. So great to see ideas!
MEG....love it, so amazing!!!! Kev and I can't wait for you to photo the next baby someday
It's lovely!! Love the colors. Great idea to use the plate racks as card holders!
Just when I thought there couldn't be any more reasons to admire (or is it be JEALOUS!) of you, you've done it again. Simply GORGEOUS. I too am curious where you found such amazing chairs!
What an amazing space! Love how you repurposed and thought up clever ways to reuse things!
Beautiful! You are so inspiring! The lighting is just awesome and I love the turquoise chairs!
You are awesome! I am getting a studio space next month..so this is totally inspiring me. The QUOTE...I LOVE it!!!
So in love! You have such great taste...so inspiring for my future studio!
Wowzaaa! Can you come to Montana and finish my HOME!!!! My goodness, does that ever look nice. Good job to both you and Ty...love the soft colors, hey I recognize those chairs..
gorgeous!!! it totally suits you and your style. i love love love it!
WOW. Looks absolutely awesome! And we have a media room (including projector and 104" screen) above our garage that we never use now that we have little ones. Maybe I should consider doing something like this and host my ordering sessions here at home! (Not sure I could convince the hubby though) Amazing work.
Wow!! So very you and so very beautiful!!!!! I do believe you have achieved your goal
If you need/want more of the blue mason jars...Ragtime Antiques in the uptown have them...I just bought one....had to hold myself to JUST one!!!
Gorgeous space, Meg. It's completely radiates "you", your clients are going to love it!
wow, so gorgeous! How lucky to have such a beautiful place to work in!
Wow, beautiful! I wish I could have such a gorgeous space, full of light! May I ask where you obtained those gorgeous turquoise chairs? I am in love with them!

Two heads are better than one... this shoot is proof. I had an awesome opportunity to collaborate with talented Randi Edwards from Swoon. Her craftiness and artful eye make make her truly stand out from the crowd. Go check out her blog to see some gorgeous children's parties she has put together and fun crafty inspiration. We met up this spring to photograph a mock Children's party nestled in a sunlit orchard. Even better, we used our daughters as models. Randi set up the entire shoot, down to every last detail.
Set Design: Randi Edwards from Swoon
Cake and hand made ice cream sandwiches: The Sisters Patisserie
Clothing (vintage rompers): The Littlest
Lastly, Randi has been so generous to host a giveaway to celebrate the release of the images:

I absolutely adore your photography, your images are such an inspiration. Also love love the new site I shared via twitter
I'm already a fan of your photography, and I shared your page on my facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=73201240
Meg.. your work is amazing! I just love love love it. Shared your link on my fb page. You new site is adorable!
My girlfriend and I absolutely love your pictures! hope to hear from you!
Amazing pictures and awesome new site. I am a fan on FB and posted the link to your website on my FB friends walls.
I LOVE the new website! It has been shared on facebook
In. Added the hat-liking and FB'd a (hopefully) lovely shout-out. The site is very nice. The only stuff I can think of straight away: "Details"... that might not register to folks not in 'explore' mode. Once there, I can't just click to email you, nor did I see a phone number. (Doesn't mean it isn't there... just that I didn't see it. Though I do know what kind of payments you accept. ...speaking of such... no online deposit or scheduling option? Or did I miss that too?) I'm impressed how well your host is serving the images. You may find using a CDN for all the static stuff (images/text) is even better for not too much money. MaxCDN is my fav for bang/buck. Yea for an totally awesome website and marketing effort! I suggest favorite beverages for the husband. : )
The new website looks AMAZING! So happy for you:)
I shared on my twitter! http://twitter.com/#!/BKPhotographyy and already like both pages! Your work is so inspiring
Your work is beyond amazing. Everything on your site I'm in love with! The site is well done and simply gorgeous. Your technique is amazing, flawless, and so inviting. the way you edit your photos makes everything feel so whimsical and adoring. You're one of my favorite photographers to follow and I wish you were in New York! My friend and I have a dream of starting a photography business and we are so very impressed, inspired, and driven by your beautiful photos. Please keep up the good work! -Christina
You're doing an absolutely stunning job, I was a fan of GracyLu already, but now you're one of my favorites too, I like both on Facebook!!! I keep spreading the love on my personal fb page! Blessed for Success!!! Rock on!!
