Welcome friend, i am Morgan, the one behind the lens.
Hello friends!
I am a mama, a professor, an inefficient interior designer, an amateur painter, and a lifestyle photographer based in sunny San Diego, CA. I studied visual communications in college many moons ago, but set aside my artistic ambitions to collect more degrees than anyone really needs and get a job in academia. When I got pregnant with my first child I picked up a camera again in anticipation of a new muse. What I found was not only a muse in my own family but a new lens through which I could see the whole world. Suddenly I noticed light, laughter, and love everywhere and felt compelled to capture it.
I realized that being a professor for over a decade and now being a mom to two young children has given me a new kind of superpower. Ok, not a superpower per se, but I am now unafraid to make a complete fool out of myself in front of near strangers if it means I can make a toddler smile, a teenager laugh, or convince a grown adult to walk like a baby giraffe (oh, you read that right, it’s a real client favorite!).
So won’t you come along with me? We will chase the light, reveal real emotions, and make art out of all the in-between improvised moments in our chaotic lives.

That's the number of days a week I would eat pizza if my cholesterol wasn't so annoyingly high. It's hands down my favorite food.

I am the proud mama of two perfect children. And by perfect, I mean perfectly feral. They keep me on my feet and I wouldn't have it any other way.
