wedding & lifestyle photographer in erie pa
I'm Morgan, a proud queer photographer born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, but always packed and ready for my next adventure. I'm a girl mama to a wild 3-year-old and wife to my beautiful partner and newest assistant, Megan.
When I'm not doing mom shit or photography, you can find me working full-time with adult protective services. I am passionate about making a difference in people's lives, and getting to do that in both my careers is something I truly love. I live to capture the warm and authentic moments that make life so magical.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with photos. I spent countless hours at my grandma's house, flipping through album after album, asking her to tell me the stories behind every picture. Those memories sparked a passion that still burns bright today. At 13, I picked up my first camera and started shooting in 2012. By 2016, I found my true calling as a wedding photographer, and I haven't looked back since!
At the heart of my work lies authenticity. I cherish the real, unfiltered moments that narrate your unique story. Using natural light, I strive to craft beautiful, warm, and genuine images that resonate with the true essence of you and your loved ones.
Photography, to me, transcends mere images; it captures the very essence of who you are. I create a comfortable environment where you can relax and let moments unfold naturally. I believe genuine connections and emotions make for the most compelling photographs—poses can only guide the way.
Everyone is welcome here!! I proudly embrace diversity and inclusivity in all forms. No matter who you are, who you love, or where you come from, my goal is to make you feel seen celebrated and comfortable.
I am deeply passionate about portraying emotion and movement in my work. My aim is to curate galleries filled with artistic and meaningful images that authentically reflect your journey. Your comfort and happiness are paramount to me, and I am dedicated to creating timeless memories that you will cherish forever

Morgan makes getting in front of the camera feel so natural and effortless, even when I don’t feel like I look great, she makes me feel confident!
I’ve been dying for an occasion to get pictures done by Morgan after seeing how beautiful the photos she did for two of my friends were! I was lucky enough to get a spot for her Greenhouse Mini sessions she recently hosted, and she did NOT disappoint! I was very shy and unsure of how to pose, but she made me feel super comfortable the entire time and coached me through the whole shoot. I am so happy with how my pictures turned out, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Morgan does an amazing job capturing true expressions. It’s so hard to choose my favorite when all the pictures are fantastic. Professional and fun at the same time. I will definitely use her again to capture life for me.
