How it all started…

There’s an old saying, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” If you would have asked me 20 years ago what my career would be today, I never would have guessed I’d be a photographer. In fact, my original career path was drastically different.

To be honest, I came across photography by accident. Well, the more I think about it the more I realize it wasn’t an accident, it was God giving me exactly what I needed.

In the midst of a stressful career in law enforcement, I found myself in a very dark place. I needed calm in my storm. I needed an outlet. Somewhere I could go and completely let go, for lack of better words, be free. That’s when I turned to photography.

It didn’t take long for me to figure out that photography was the outlet I needed. It fueled me, relaxed me, and healed me. Photography quickly became my passion. It was through photography that I discovered my joy for love, laughter, and genuine connections between people.

I went from photographing my children to my nieces and nephews, to friends, and then before I knew it complete strangers were paying me to photograph their lives. And that’s when Megan Escheman Photography was born.

So here we are, 7 years later, and I get to call this passion my job!
