ABOUT US
I’m Megan! Owner and lead photographer at Giggles and Grins.
I’ve been a professional photographer for 19 years, documenting destination weddings all over the world (not to mention capturing schools and portraits too).
While I loved my jet-setting lifestyle, having kids changed things. Being gone every weekend just wasn’t in the cards anymore.
My role as a mom, coupled with my gift for photography and my desire to run a conscious business that employees other moms, led me to create Giggles and Grins Photography.
How is Your current School Photographer working out for you?
*Does the idea of organizing picture day make you quietly cry into your Starbucks?
*Do parents complain about the price or lack of photo options?
*Is the quality just 'meh'?
*Are the kickbacks unimpressive?
*Do you cringe at the idea of supporting yet ANOTHER chain or big-box business?
The photography company you contract to take your photos is a direct representation of your school.
You want to hire the absolute best.
What Our Past
Clients Have Said
"Megan has been taking our school photos since 2014. She captures the children beautifully and makes school photo week so much fun. She has a wonderful gift for getting the children to feel comfortable and relaxed and the photos come out beautifully every time. The staff appreciate her professionalism and flexibility and the families love her photography. She is hands down the best school photographer we have ever worked with."
