Hello there!
Yuba City-based photographer- Serving the greater Sacramento area.
There are so many things in my life that have inspired my creativity, passion, and talent behind my photography. My family is my world, and what showed me my passion for photography.
In the midst of a stressful career of law enforcement, I needed a calm in the storm. I turned to photography for my relief and I haven’t let go since.
What I'm all about here at MEP
My guiding principles
Without the strength and encouragement from my loved ones, I never would’ve made it this far. My amazing family, friends, and clients only make the dreams and goals I have set for myself possible. I’m truly surrounded by the best support system imaginable.
My family has always been, and continues to be, my biggest fans and supporters.
I love photographing the real, everyday moments between parents and their babies, wild toddlers, teenagers stepping into their senior year, and couples who are still each other’s safe place.
These little chapters are the ones we wish we could freeze forever, and that’s exactly why I photograph families across Yuba City, Sacramento, and the surrounding areas.
can you guess the blanks?
I went to college on a softball SCHOLARSHIP
At one point I was a wife and mom, cop, softball pitching coach, college softball coach, AND a photographer. (Those were some CRAZY days!)
My husband and I met when he shot me in the butt with an airsoft gun.
I believe there’s a RIGHT way to load a dishwasher.
I’m a little OCD, and thankfully my husband embraces it and just laughs at me most the time.
I’m a prop addict. My newborn studio is literally packed floor to ceiling with props.
my absolute Fav drinks - coffee, Diet Dr. Pepper, wine, whisky
Starbucks order- grande Caramel macchiato with oat milk and an add shot of espresso OR a Venti black Iced tea unsweetened
I don’t eat meat- my parents say it’s because one day when I was little I “pulled a Megan” & decided I wouldn't, now here we are 30+ years later and I’ll only eat chicken.
We have a 3 year old chocolate lab named River. And we adopted a 2 year old Belgian Malinois.
When you hire me, you’re not just booking a session… you’re getting a truly personal experience. I only take one client a day so you and your family get my full attention from start to finish. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is cookie-cutter. Every detail- from wardrobe to locations to the artwork we design afterward - is customized just for you.
I’m here to guide you through the entire process, answering questions, helping with outfit choices, and making sure you feel confident and supported the whole way. My goal is simple: create meaningful, heirloom-quality portraits you’ll be proud to pass down for generations.
If you’re ready to work with a photographer who cares about your family’s memories as much as you do, reach out to Megan Escheman Photography.
