Documenting life’s magic,
one moment at a time

I'm Morgen,

Hey friend

I basically grab your happiness and put it in a frame so that you can play your memories back and squeeze as much joy out of them as humanly possible. 

I’m the bare-foot, sunflower loving goof behind the camera here at Designed In Love Photography.  You know the love and joy you feel while you squeeze those tiny humans? Those moments you feel but can’t “see”?

Those are the scrumptious memories I’m capturing with my camera for ya.

Grab your iced coffee, and meet me in the sunshine.

I bet you're wondering what a session feels like.

I help create a safe & comfortable space to connect with your family so that you can experience those intimate moments of love through play. It's relaxed, fun and most importantly your kids can be kids!

Whether you’re a family just starting out or already have not-so-little feet following you around, I’m here to help you embrace the moment and capture beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

From the sun-drenched beaches to the vibrant urban landscapes, I love exploring the beauty of Southern California with you and your family.

I can tell she puts a lot of love and work into her photos. She was so sweet, on time, and very professional. She made our whole family feel extremely comfortable.The slideshow she made for us was breathtaking: I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you so much Morgen!

“Thank you Morgen for capturing my family so perfectly and giving us pictures of our little guy to have forever! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”

First things first if you’re considering Morgen just stop now and book her! You won’t regret it. From the time I was looking for a photographer to the time I received my gallery, I couldn’t have been happier with Morgen. Besides how awesome she is her photos are phenomenal! She just kills it! The angles, the color, and get all the details! She really is amazing.
