My name is Morgan, and I am a Momtographer. Those who knew me during the first half of my life have known the artsy side of me. I was in all the art clubs at school, I was a competitive figure skater for 10+ years, and I took several design classes in NYC throughout high school. But after graduating and saying goodbye to competitive figure skating, my artistic side somehow got lost. Not quite sure what I wanted to do next, I went to college and found I favored the challenging math classes, since I happen to have a knack for numbers as well. One thing led to another, I graduated with a finance degree, and ended up working at a law firm handling their accounting. While I enjoyed my years there, I was never passionate about it.
Pretty soon, I married my best friend, and we welcomed our beautiful son into the world. Like most new moms, I found myself taking hundreds of pictures of him every day with my sub-par camera phone. At the beginning of 2014, I decided to buy myself my first real camera and learn how to use it. I owe thanks to my photographer brother, Kyle, for the inspiration. I brought my camera everywhere, took pictures of my son and his friends all day long, and started to get the hang of it. Pretty soon, friends were offering to pay me to take pictures for them, I was being referred to others, and somehow, just one year later.. I was booked months ahead of time, and with photography as my only source of income.
Then, when my son was 6, after years of fertility struggles, my second child and first daughter was born. I decided to take a break from my business to be a full-time mom, with the assumption Iād return to work once she started school. However; life had other plans. My husband got a new job out of state, so we were forced to relocate. And just as we did.. Covid hit. Soon after that, I became pregnant with my third child. I continued photography on my own through the years, but I missed my work. Now that my last baby has started school, I have finally been able to get back into it.
I am grateful to be able to do something I truly love, and to spend more time with my family. I appreciate every opportunity I have to capture moments and memories for others because the experience is invaluable to me. Thank you to everyone who has invited me into their lives. I look forward to many more years of new friends, and new memories captured.
