Megan Ann Photography [Branding]

This post has been one in the making for many months and I am glad I can finally share it with you all! My lovely business cards are done, in my hands and I am in love with how they turned out. Engage Paperie and Spark Letterpress were fantastic to work with and they made the process super easy. I would highly recommend you check them out for any printing needs! My logo design was a collaborative process with my friend and former Augustana classmate, Sarah Swenson. She captured all the things I wanted reflected in my new branding…organic, minimalistic with a twist of timeless elegance! The finished product is exactly what I envisioned, thanks for all the help ladies!

A couple of months ago I posted a quote, "We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are." Max DePree. Throughout my branding process, which is not quite 100% completed, I have reminded myself of this quote…on a daily basis! I'm not gonna lie, it has been scary to make the move forward. It holds me accountable on a completely different level than I had ever experienced before. Taking the leap into the unknown is always a risk, but I have also realized I can't grow or move forward without the jump. I didn't want to remain where I was, which left me with the only option to push forward in a new direction! I want to continue to learn and grow and become a better photographer and business woman. Since taking the leap of faith, I could not be more excited, energized, and eager to keep on exploring this new world. What an adventure it has been and I can't wait to see where it continues to take me. Thanks for all the continued support family, friends, and industry mentors! 

The final piece of my branding is my website, so until that is completed keep using meganannphotos.blogspot.com

Wedding [Jada & Brad]















Jada and Brad's country wedding was a joy to be a part of. It was a day filled with love and support from friends and family alike. The wedding ceremony was a place near and dear to the bride and her family. It is a place they call home at various times of the year, a place they go to be together with family and place they go to relax.  There was an ease to the day and I contribute that to the fact that they opened their home to all, making everyone feel as if they have been a part of their family for years.

Congratulations Jada and Brad, thanks for letting me be a special part of your day. It was a memorable celebration!!

Proposal Aftermath [Ali & Johnny]

I don't even know where to begin with this post because I have so much I could say about these two! I met Ali and Johnny my first day of college and the rest is history! These two officially began dating in January of freshmen year and have been a dynamic duo ever since! Not only is Ali a wonderful friend of mine, but she was also my roommate for 3 years. Johnny & Ali--it has been such a joy being apart of your love story from the very beginning. With that being said, thanks for letting me document another milestone in your relationship. Congratulations and I couldn't be more excited for this wonderful adventure!
