When it comes to photographing your fab event, chaos and cake is my jam.

You don’t need another thing to plan or manage - don’t worry, I’ve got you.

I’ve been artfully photographing events (birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, reunions, surprise parties, seders, celebrations, etc.) for DECADES. I celebrate your (or your kid’s) big day with enthusiasm and skill without overshadowing or blocking the action.

At your pre-consult, we’ll have a fantabulous conversation detailing important moments, people, and details you want to capture and the keepsakes you wish to walk away with.

A few weeks after your session, I’ll walk you through your images and ever-awesome heirlooms, as we create your dream order.

Knowing I’ll beautifully capture all you seek you can breathe a sigh of relief, regain the headspace you need to mingle with your guests and enjoy all the detailed work (and CAKE) you’ve put into your fab event.

“Everyone is delighted with your marvellous albums. The compliments we have been hearing from many should make your ears burn.

The album of the birthday party catches the spirit and joy that everyone felt, and is already a treasure for everyone in the family .

I cannot thank you enough or praise your talent sufficiently.”

— Joanna & Dan

Milestones are meant to be celebrated.

AND ENJOYED IN THE MOMENT.

The heirlooms we create are really crazy magic portals, right? Transporting you back to those very moments, providing rediscovery (every time you see them you feel something different), and contributing to the roadmap of your lives for OH FOREVER.

I’ll take care of capturing everyone’s personalities, bonds, love and genuinely engage in a stress-free, easy going every-little-things-gonna-be-alright way. Because it is. It really is.

I can blend into any scene, go with the flow, and put everyone at ease so well you can casually introduce me as ‘my friend who’s a photographer’. I can be a fly on the wall or summon the group portraits you desire.

What’s important is that you can relax and enjoy the celebration, knowing it will be captured beautifully and preserved forever.  Cheers!

Meredith’s ‘Celebration’ Sessions:

It’s time to celebrate and have a good time, come on yeah!

Party on knowing vibrantly documented moments and memories of your Very Special Day will remain in your hearts and homes for generations. WAAHOO!

Let’s get this party started!


“Your photography is exquisite.

What's truly remarkable is how you were able to capture so much tenderness and love. 

That takes not just technical skills and talent but heart and vision. The prints and the album and the canvas are just stunning.  It's amazing how you produced such high quality images from a squirmy one-year-old's birthday party!

Everything was put together with so much care—from the shot composition to the gorgeous ribbons and boxes and tissue paper. And the quality is so high—did this really all get done in America? Amazing! We will cherish these.”

 — C.F.
