Megan
Megan's friendly demeanor and cute sense of style have made her an indispensable part of our studio since 2004. She has worked in her capacity as a studio manager to bring in new fresh ideas for products and design as well as oversees all framing. Additionally she designs our promotional pieces, custom coffee table books and her own line of greeting cards. When you speak with Megan as she helps you coordinate your session, clothing, framing or otherwise you will feel like you are talking with a friend. Mara wouldn't know what to do without her.
