About
HEY, MAMA
If you could go back in time, wouldn’t you tell your past self to slow down?
To soak in all the small stuff and pay more attention?
I may not be able to teach you how to time travel (yet), but I CAN show you how photography can be another vehicle for living intentionally.
I’m Megan, and I help mamas who want a life well-lived and well-documented. Mamas who want to bottle up those everyday magic moments to savor forever. Who want to enjoy and be present for the life in front of them.
Since time doesn’t stop, the heart of my work is designed to help you slow down and connect through intentional photography services and art education practices.

What our students say
"This course is worth every penny. Bottom line up front: Megan is not only an experienced photographer, but an art educator and instructional designer. She knows her stuff!"
Lauren R.
“ My fears about if this course would be worth the cost were totally squashed. The value i have gotten from this course is with me every day as I share my gift with friends and family and more importantly provide the mementos of watching my little one blossom right in front of me for years to come!"
Meghan D.
"Megan's course doesn't just break down the basic principles of how to take a photo, but her experience professionally and personally guide you through why you're taking a photo, and ultimately the image you're responsibly creating. The course was easy to digest, but challenging."
Brittnie S.R.H.
"Thanks to Manual Mode for Moms, I can get the photos that I’ve been dreaming of! It also taught me how to pay attention to what’s in each of my photos. I’ve begun to slow down instead of just “clicking and praying” that I get a good image. If you need help capturing beautiful photos of your family, this is the course for you!"
