I believe one of the most important things we have as humans is our ability to love.

Let me document yours.

I’m super passionate about your photos not living indefinitely on your phone or rotting on some hard drive. Whether it‘s heirloom albums to pass down to your grandkids or artful prints to hang in your home, these photographic gifts will one day become invaluable nostalgic memories.

My sessions are personalized and catered to your hearts. No one ever has to do anything they don’t want to. REAL is always better than perfect. You only order what you LURV.

Yes, it’ll be a month before you see your images. I’m not a bot (surprise!) and pour my whole heart into every step of your experience. It’s not just a ‘photo session.’ It’s chronicling a lifetime of collective memories with lasting heirlooms that embrace and celebrate your story.

My full-service sessions include:

A truly NOT stressful, surprisingly ENJOYABLE, white-glove experience where everyone is seen for who they are, and photo wishes and dreamiest dreams are met.
Meaningful ‘OMG that’s SO them!’ portraits of your family’s personalities, heartbeats, and love.
A private Reveal and Ordering service dedicated to helping you select your favourite images and tangible heirlooms to create your custom order perfectly suited to your family’s unique story and style. Popcorn optional.

Hello! I’m Meredith

The human behind Meredith Zinner Photography.

“We consider her work a photo documentary of our family that is why we purchase albums every year.”

The quality of the images and the albums is outstanding. We never regret it. Our families live abroad and we also get additional albums as gifts to the grandparents every year. Everyone loves Meredith´s work because she gets us!

In our family, our yearly session with Meredith is a family holiday! Her visits are fun because her inner light shines through and she has the gift of connecting with my twin girls.

Meredith just loves what she does, she presents her work with pride, she sees and feels through the camera, her artistry is undeniable and her human qualities make her practically a super hero.

When I see her pictures, I see my family as I see them at their best. That is what I want us to continue to be and strive for. It is important to cherish what we have now and capture life as it flies by!”

So, I used to be an actor (RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!) I first fell in love with photography waaaay back in high school (when darkrooms and those amazing chemical smells were still a thing). My energy and love chose acting as my career and photographing my friend’s 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 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 or learn lines again. I adore running my own business and every moment I get to be on the other side of the camera celebrating your milestones.

Theatre and improvisation encouraged the joy of connecting with others, the exchange of energy, and navigating unexpected surprises. All of which are deeply ingrained in my photography.

Today, I continue to lead with my heart. It remains wide open, ready to embrace your family and how best I can tell your story.

“I don't even know where to start. Meredith is simply amazing.

Meredith’s work is the result of the time and care she takes with each of her clients. My son adores her. My husband and I adore her. It's clear in every photo she took of him, and I can't begin to explain how fantastic it is to see that come through in his eyes in these photos.

My son has autism. To see the photos from Meredith's session with him, you'd never know it. Crystal clear eye contact, filled with emotions, thoughts, silliness --- I'm not saying the photos "hide" his autism in any way, nor would I ever want to squelch his quirkiness -- what I'm saying is that HE comes through; his spirit, his personality. Meredith was able to capture who he is at heart, and that is something so rare when his dad or I take pics of him ourselves.

She makes it such a comfortable experience, and never makes you feel rushed or like another client is coming in ten minutes. The session is just a really fun time, and never ever feels fake or contrived.

A great photo isn't about what's on the outside, trust me. Trust Meredith!”

A whole lotta love and a whole lot to love.

I’m endlessly drawn to kids. In a room of 100 incredibly interesting adults and one grumpy toddler, you’ll find me hiding behind my own finger speaking like a muppet entertaining baby moody.

I find every family uniquely compelling and wish 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.

Creating meaningful physical heirlooms for your family to enjoy and pass down to future generations provides far more value than a handful of digitals to lose on some corrupted hard drive.

Yes, my unparalleled personal service is a larger investment. And yes the museum-grade printing, signature albums, and esteemed artwork you receive are priceless.

Whether it be an heirloom album to pass down to your grandchildren or artful prints to hang in your home, these photographic gifts will one day become nostalgic memories.

I can’t imagine anything more important.

“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.”
