Forever Moments with Photos By Maegs
Hi friends!
I'm Maegan, and I can't wait to embark on this journey with you! About 4.5 years ago, I picked up my dad's old camera and started taking photos of my friends just for fun. Fast forward a year, and I began charging for sessions. Today, I run a part-time wedding and portrait photography business, I'm married, and I'm about to graduate college!
If little me could see me now, she wouldn’t recognize herself. Four years ago, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t know what to major in or which career path to follow. The two things I did know were that I loved taking photos and baking. I dreamed of pursuing one of those passions wholeheartedly. I started college as a business administration major, thinking I’d someday run my own bakery. While that dream isn’t entirely out of the picture, God had different plans for me in the meantime.
During my second semester of freshman year, I started taking photos of my friends and sharing them online. Slowly but surely, I became more well-known around campus and in the local community. At first, I didn’t think much of it because I didn’t believe I was good enough. But I kept posting—not to show off my work, but simply because I loved it.
To this day, I vividly remember my first paid session. The feeling I had when I left was unforgettable. I realized this could be my future. And now, looking back on the past four years, that moment feels like the beginning of a dream come true.
I’ve poured my heart and soul into building my photography business, not just to capture moments but to show people how truly beautiful they are, inside and out. My goal has always been to bring joy and happiness through the photos I create.
This hobby-turned-career has brought me more joy than I ever imagined. Every client, comment, and kind word holds a special place in my heart. I’m so thankful for the important moments I’ve had the honor to be a part of, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
