You can call me Maegan (Mae for short).
I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Northeast Ohio, married to my husband Lou, raising our sweet (and wildly fun) son Atlas and growing our family, alongside our senior pup, Meat.
Outside of photography, you’ll find me chasing live music, exploring the mountains, tending to my garden, thrifting like it’s a competitive sport and soaking up slow, ordinary moments with my people, usually around a bonfire with good food involved.
I’m deeply down-to-earth, easygoing by nature and I care a lot about making people feel comfortable and seen. That’s not just who I am, it’s how I show up for my clients.
Photographing real life as it unfolds, the connection, the chaos, the quiet in between, is what matters most to me.
Titles I also answer to:
wife, mom, dog mom, unprofessional cook, spicy food enthusiast and professional dog petter (I take this one VERY seriously)
GET TO KNOW ME
I bring 15 years of experience photographing weddings and real life as it unfolds, and I use it to make the process feel easy, intentional and human.
My goal is simple: to give you photos that feel like you. Not stiff. Not overly styled. Not forced into a box. I approach each wedding or session with curiosity, flexibility and a deep respect for the people in front of my camera.
I’m hands-on throughout the entire process, from planning and timelines to location ideas and gentle guidance during the moments that matter most. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. That’s my job.
At the core of my work are a few values I come back to every time:
✦ have fun ✦ be kind ✦ embrace the uncomfortable ✦
Because the most meaningful photos tend to live right there.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to document couples and families again and again. Milestones layered on top of each other. Becoming someone’s go-to photographer isn’t something I take lightly. It’s the part of this work that means the most to me.

Mae creates such a warm and welcoming environment, and when you have a session with her, you get her personality, her laughs- just a regular person like you doing exceptional work. She doesn’t put on a front or anything. She’s there to have fun with you and to me that makes the experience priceless. When I got my gallery back, I sobbed. It was the best collection of photos I’ve ever received in all my years of working with photographers. The pictures are perfect. She got every single photo I could have ever dreamed of or imagined and I look back on the album often because they truly are just spectacular. I cannot urge you enough to book with Mae. She thinks of everything, even before you do, and that’s exactly what you want in a photographer.
