INCLUDED IN EVERY SESSION
PROFESSIONAL HAIR AND MAKEUP FOR EVERY SENIOR
Your session day starts at my studio about 1.5 hours before you shoot. A professional artist styles your hair and makeup while you relax. You walk out camera ready and still look like you. Hair and makeup is included for every senior, girls and guys. Guys choose hair, makeup, or both.
THE EXPERIENCE
CHIEFS, CANE'S, AND CAPTURING YOUR BEST SIDE
I'm Megan. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm usually in my daily uniform of leggings and sweatpants. I'm a firm believer that pickled sunflower seeds are the elite snack and my Raising Cane's order is non-negotiable. It is always a Caniac with no slaw and extra toast.
I love a good book on a beach, but my real passion is making sure Lawrence seniors realize how incredible they actually are. I want to give you a day where you feel like the star of the show and walk away with photos that show the world exactly who you are.
Fun fact
I was the slowest writer in school. It wasn't because I couldn't keep up. I just wanted every single word to look perfect. That same eye for detail is why your photos feel intentional, true, and turned all the way up.

"Megan really tapped into the unique aspects of my child's personality and set her at ease so she could shine through."
Such an easy and happy experience taking senior photos. Megan really tapped into the unique aspects of my child's personality and set her at ease so she could shine through. Multiple locations. Efficient but never rushed. Checked in with my daughter through the whole session so it reflected what she wanted. Excellent experience and we will be calling Megan when it's time for kid #2 to have photos taken.

"I don't think if I had gone with anyone else that I would have been so heard/understood."
Amazing experience!!! I absolutely loved every minute of the shoot. I’ve never done a photoshoot before so I was extremely nervous but Megan instantly cleared my worries and had answers to every question. I couldn’t recommend a better person. As long as you go in with a plan and idea, you’re bound to get the best photos and experience possible!!
Lily - Class of 2026
"She is so graceful and makes you feel so confident when taking photos, even if you don’t know what to do!"
Abby - Class of 2026
"Pictures are unique and fit my son's personality and high school experience perfectly."
I could not be happier with our experience! We had a unique situation come up and Megan went above and beyond to work with us and we had so much fun!!!! Pictures are unique and fit my son's personality and high school experience perfectly. Megan brought some incredible ideas but was also open to suggestions we were looking for. I would highly recommend Megan, you will not be disappointed!
