Reintroducing Myself: Sacramento Photographer for Families, Newborns, and Seniors

Hi, I’m Megan! If you’re new here (or if it’s been a while since we connected), I thought this was the perfect time to reintroduce myself. I recently did a branding and headshot session with a fellow photographer friend, and while I could just share the pretty pictures, I also want to give you something more useful—because I know you’re here for more than selfies of me.

I’m a professional portrait photographer based in Yuba City, CA, serving the greater Sacramento area. I specialize in newborn photography, senior portraits, family photos, and cake smash sessions. My focus is creating a custom, luxury experience for each client—one that doesn’t just stop at digital files, but ends with heirloom artwork you’ll be proud to display for decades.

A Little About Me

• I’m a mom, wife, MiMi, and brand-new member of the “40s club.”
• Photography isn’t just my career—it’s how I preserve the fleeting seasons of my own family’s life.
• My background is in law enforcement, which may surprise some people, but it taught me a lot about patience, observation, and the importance of connection—qualities that help me behind the camera today.
• When I’m not photographing clients, you can usually find me doing anything outdoors, chasing my sassy granddaughter, snuggling my grandson, spoiling Labrador puppies (yes, really), or baking sourdough bread.

What I Believe About Photography

I truly believe photographs are more than just images. They’re part of your family’s legacy. That’s why I specialize in printed artwork—albums, wall art, and keepsake boxes that can be passed down. Because as much as we all love scrolling through photos on our phones, the ones that end up hanging on the wall or sitting on the coffee table are the ones that become part of your everyday life.

• Printed heirlooms – You choose the images you love, and I help you turn them into artwork you’ll cherish forever.

Who I Work With

• High School Seniors looking for portraits that feel like them—not cookie-cutter yearbook photos.
• New Parents who want to document those early newborn days before they slip away.
• Families who realize kids don’t stay little forever and want to freeze time just for a second.
• Parents celebrating milestones with cake smash sessions that are as fun as they are messy.
