“A real trifecta of wit and warmth and patience.
I cannot properly express my thanks. So, so happy and so excited. You were an angel. I don't know when I last saw O so engaged. Thank you for your time and your professionalism and your wide open heart.”

Hello! I’m Meredith
The human behind Meredith Zinner Photography.
In a room of 100 incredibly interesting adults and one grumpy toddler, I’ll be hiding behind my finger squeaking like Elmo entertaining Baby Moody. (Yes you can hear it).
I wish for every kid to feel seen, loved, valued, adored, and celebrated for precisely who they are.
I’m one of a few photographers to offer a full-service photographic experience culminating with a curated collection of tangible portraits and lasting family heirlooms.
Families return year after year for my documentation and albums, not for ‘just the digitals’.
Yes, my unparalleled personal service is a larger investment. Yes, the museum-grade materials, signature albums, and esteemed artwork you receive are priceless and guaranteed for life. And yes, I devote my life to children feeling supported and loved.
I can’t imagine anything more important.
“Meredith, you make our lives better.”

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
I first fell in love with photography waaaay back in high school (when darkrooms and those amazing chemical smells were still a thing). Once in college, my energy and love chose acting as a career but photographing my friends’ kids, pets, and fellow actors’ headshots was my constant hobby.
EVERYTHING CHANGED when my beloved husband sat me down to say he wanted to tell me something (cue: INSTANT PANIC). He cleared his throat, blurted “You’re miserable when you’re acting” and quickly hid behind a pillow in case I started throwing things (like my pride). He added ‘but you’re SO HAPPY every time you come back from a kid’s photo session. EVERY time, I felt like I needed to tell you.”
Cut to a decade later. No longer in ‘the business of show,’ I’m ecstatic to never have to audition, kiss up to shitty people, or learn lines ever again. I LOVE running my own business, and every second I get to be on the other side of the camera celebrating your milestones is a delight.
Theatre and improvisation encouraged my innate joy of connecting with others, exchanging energy, and navigating unexpected surprises. All of which are deeply ingrained in my photography.
A whole lotta love and a whole lot to love.
Today, I still lead with my heart. Even with the current state of the world, I’m determined to keep it wide open.
I’m super passionate about your photos not dying on your phone or rotting on some dusty drawer or hard drive.
The heirloom albums and artwork we create together are guaranteed for life. They are the love you can come home to.
These photographic treasures will one day become collective family memories of how and that you lived.
One of the most important things we have as humans is our ability to love.
Let’s document yours.
“I don't even know where to start. Meredith is simply amazing.”
