Let’s get to know each other!
Hey! I’m Maggie. I’m 25 years old and I’ve been practicing photography for 8 years now.
I had always loved admiring photography. I use to find myself staring at photos for long periods of time while I analyzed the colors, composition, and the way certain photos would make me feel.
I was 14 when I was at my cousin’s wedding and another cousin (who was a bridesmaid in the wedding) gave me her Canon DSLR camera and asked me to snap a few photos of the ceremony. As soon as I pressed the shutter for the first time I was absolutely hooked. After the wedding I went home and begged my parents for my own camera. A few months later I got my very first DLSR camera (the Nikon D3200) for Christmas. Several years, hundreds of photo subjects, and a ton of photo equipment changes later, I’m still just as (if not more) in love with capturing images of people.

Some fun facts about me:
I’m a Leo Sun, Cancer Moon, and an Aquarius Rising.
I love to roller-skate (my first love before I found photography).
I have two cats that I’m obsessed with (Pootie + Cowboy).
I have 9 tattoos and I hope to get so many more.
Fall + Summer are tied for my favorite season.
Some of my favorite musical artists are Taylor Swift, My Chemical Romance, Tyler Childers, and Deftones
My go-to photography set up at the currently is my Sony A7IV, my Sigma 35mm, and my 24mm-70mm ART lens.
I love listening to true-crime podcasts while I edit galleries (Lights Out Podcast is my favorite at the moment).
I can recite the alphabet backwards.
When I’m not doing photography stuff I’m probably playing the Sims 4.
I could most definitely eat Mexican food everyday of my life and never grow tired of it.
I’m from Avoca, Pa but I recently moved to Peckville, Pa where my boyfriend, Mark and I are living in a renovated church.
I love to travel. My parents started traveling to Jamaica in 2010 and I’ve visited 6 times since then. I try to go on a little adventure somewhere else in the country (or world) at least once a year.
My Other Half
My best friend, father of my cats, and life partner is Mark! We’ve been together for over 6 years. In that time, I helped Mark discover his passion for photography and videography. He learned quickly and now often schools me on the latest photo techniques + technology.
Mark is my second shooter (and sometimes the videographer) for the vast majority of weddings and elopements that I take on. We started capturing weddings together about a year into our relationship and have since learned to become a well-oiled machine when it comes to making wedding days special, fun, and smooth sailing for all involved.
About my photography style:
I’m a very “go with the flow” kind of person + I love to incorporate that into my photo shoots. Photo shoots can be terrifying for anyone (I still freeze up when someone points a camera at me). But I’ve made it my mission to provide my clients with a relaxing and fun experience while still ensuring quality images that embrace who my subjects are at a certain point in their lives.
Photo shoots don’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable! During my sessions, I try my best to connect with my subjects on a more personal level so their photoshoots feel less like a photoshoot and more like we are just hanging out. Over the years, I’ve learned so many poses and prompts that I now feel super confident directing my subjects into poses and movements that feel natural and look flattering.
You do not have to be a supermodel or even super comfortable taking a selfie to shoot with me. All I ask is that you show up to your shoot with an open mind + we can create some images that can showcase you in a whole new light.
