**Make sure you scroll past that last photo, there is something some of you will want to read down there!**
This post has been a long time coming! I’ve been putting it off for a few reasons: first, to get through busy season, and make sure my clients were all taken care of. Then, the holidays were here, and it was our daughter’s First Christmas, so we had a lot of fun events and things to do for that. Also, I had plans to incorporate a new endeavor with this post, so I wanted to make sure we were good to roll with it before posting.
Now that things have calmed down, I am finally going to blog my favorite session to date. You read that right! I am STILL feeling the inspiration from this session. This is going to be a very photo-heavy post, fair warning.
I had an idea late last summer to do a more custom shoot. I LOVE all of my amazing kid and family clients, but I was itching to try something where I picked the locations, the time of day, the whole shebang. I even begged my gorgeous cousins to be my models for the afternoon. I bribed them with my daughter, so they couldn’t resist. I knew they’d be perfect for my vision–not only would they be dressed perfectly for this late fall afternoon, but they’d be up for anything, which boded well for the locations I had in mind–oh, you’ll see what I mean!
On to the photos! Eeek, I’ m SO excited to finally be sharing these.
This first set may or may not be right off a state highway. Meaning, we were parked on the side of said highway.
There are about a billion of this next series, I could. not. stop. shooting. It may have been part swamp, but it was pure magic.
One last one for my wonderful aunt. 🙂
Sass & K, thank you both so much for coming to hang out. We are SO definitely doing this again! Start thinking about your wardrobe for a snowstorm shoot now. 🙂 Love you both!
**One last thing. I’ve decided I would like to incorporate more work like this into my portfolio. SO. I am having a mini modeling call! I am looking for people (male or female) who would be interested in a shoot like this. We would discuss styling ahead of time, and I would pick the location and time, and general overall vision. Mostly candid and natural light driven. Obviously, it would not be the same as this session, given the time of year. But I have some fabulous and fun ideas for wintery shoots, and I can’t wait to see them executed.
If you are interested, please email me at: megan@meganjanephotography.com, and please include a photo of yourself. Serious inquiries only, and you must be at least 15 years old to be considered (under 18 requiring parental consent). And yes, there are certainly heavy discounts involved.
Happy Weekend, everyone! Get out, enjoy those mid-40s temps while you can!
OH! I love, love, love, love, LOVE them! Looks like a J.Crew spread! WOW!! I would be all over this if we lived closer 🙂 Great job!

Hey girl! We should go out and shoot together on something like this — Seeing as we’re always BEHIND the camera right! 😉 — Lets plan a time.. even if its not until Spring. or whatever! Hope you guys are wel! xxoo
Oh MJ, these are just plain stunning! Keep up the beautiful work!
GORGEOUS Meg! So buttery and perfect! 🙂
LOVE. I mean, the girls are gorgeous but we knew that! You got the best day of the Fall for this shoot. This is my favorite session too! K&S – JCrew will be calling anyday now!
Meg – they came out so great!!! We had so much fun with you that day (regardless of the crazy locations!) …and cannot wait to do it again, snow and all 🙂
Thanks again – you’re so talented!
Meg- these are fantastic! I am amazed at all of these pictures. The two models you chose are stunning,(they’re are my daughters) and the scenery is fantastic. I remember when you first received your new camera- well you certainly have come a long way. Just beautiful!
Meg, can I buy some?
Thanks for taking the time, Sara and Kerri loved spending time with you and Lila.
Well, I wish I had some more superlatives! Meg, you sure chose the right super models (my nieces). If J Crew doesn’t contact you guys, you should go to them. Can’t wait for what’s next! Can I be your winter model? I can make snow angels and I have funky boots and goofy hats.
Just gorgeous, Megan!!
holy smokes, megan…such spectacular shots! the dreamy bokeh, locations, sunflare, gorgeous girlies…LOVE each and every one. fantastic job!
great stuff. i wouldn’t have been able to stop shooting either. beautiful.
