If you are looking for a more natural and unposed portrait, you’ve come to the right place.

My STORY TELLING PHOTOGRAPHY style TAKES THE PRESSURE OFF LITTLES AND PARENTS. yOU GET TO RELAX, PLAY AND HAVE THIS PRECIOUS SEASON FROZEN IN TIME”. 

Through play and connection to your environment, the laughs are more genuine, your children more engaged, your moments more authentic.

I hope you’ll stay a moment longer and watch the video below of a family beach session to get a feel for what you might receive as a client. 

Did I mention that I travel all over Southern California?

That means almost nothing is off limits! Beach photos, grassy knolls, urban landscapes, in home lifestyle portraits etc. Head over to my inquiry page & tell me all about your dream session.

I can’t wait to work with you! 

Our time together is not a fast photo, it’s a moment in time you experience with those you cherish most. 

My Creative Process Starts With A Phone Call.

I know, it’s old fashioned but I find it’s the best way to connect, answer questions and learn more about you so that I can create your dream session. 

The following will give you more insight on what to expect after our initial chat:

Bare feet highly recommended

After the call

Should you decide to book a session after our chat I will send you a personalized link to snag a date. You’ll complete your contract and booking invoice and we’ll get to planning.  

Planning

You’ll receive a questionnaire to tell me a bit about your dream session, sometimes this is a recap but it’s helpful to have it all down in writing. Based on your feedback you’ll receive a series of emails from location suggestions, to style guides and we nail down all the details.  

Before the Session

Your final invoice is due 7 days prior to your session date and you’ll receive reminders and Day of guides with tips and reminders along the way to get the most out of your session. 

Love Notes From Past Clients

“She is extremely kind and easy going, which helps to ease your nerves if you’re nervous about your shoot. “

We did family photos with a 1 year old and it was actually fun! Her prices were very reasonable and her photos were beautiful! My husband and I cried when we got them back! I highly recommend Morgen!

- Jen T.

“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!”

She is so easy to talk to asks lots of questions to get to know you and the vibe you’re looking for. I felt like we were friends by the end of our shoot. She called me before I booked her and helped me decide on which package to do and so much more! She is SO good with babies she got my little guy all swaddled up and to stop fussing for us during our shoot, a natural with him! I am happy to say I will be working with her again some day soon when we’re ready to shoot again!
