If you’re here searching for a family photographer in Baltimore, Maryland or Washington, D.C. who values connection just as much as composition — welcome, friend. We’re so glad you found us.

Family photography is one of our greatest joys. For over a decade, we’ve photographed families through every chapter of life — engagements, weddings, newborns, milestones, and reunions. What we’ve learned is simple: family photography isn’t just about capturing faces; it’s about preserving the feeling of belonging.

When you book a Megapixels Media family photography session, you’re not just booking a photoshoot — you’re investing in heirlooms that tell your family’s story for generations to come. Here’s what’s always included:

1. A Storytelling Experience, Not Just a Photoshoot

We believe that family portraits should feel authentic, not posed. As photojournalistic and editorial photographers, we focus on real connection — the way your child reaches for your hand, how laughter fills a quiet moment, or the look you exchange when words aren’t needed.

Our sessions are designed to flow naturally, allowing your family’s love and personality to shine through.

2. Guidance & Preparation Before Your Session

We know life can get busy — that’s why we help you prepare long before your session begins. From wardrobe consultations to choosing the best location for your family’s story, we make sure you feel confident and at ease.

We’ll even share our Family Session Prep Guide filled with helpful tips, outfit inspiration, and ways to make your time with us feel effortless and fun.

3. A Relaxed & Comfortable Atmosphere

Whether we’re photographing your family in your home, your favorite park, or our studio, our goal is to create a relaxed, joy-filled atmosphere. We take the time to get to know you — your kids’ personalities, your family’s rhythm, and what makes your story unique.

4. Legacy Albums & Keepsake Prints

Every session includes a beautiful online gallery, but we always encourage our families to print their photos. Because these moments aren’t meant to live only on a screen.

Many of our families invest in custom heirloom albums — crafted to last a lifetime — so they can look back on the way their family grew, year after year. As one of our clients once shared, “We want a bookshelf of our memories.” And we couldn’t agree more.

5. Access & Support

Once you book with us, you’ll receive access to our Client Portal, where you can view your gallery, order prints, and find resources to help you preserve your family’s story beautifully.

And if you ever have questions, you can reach out to me directly. I (Megan) handle all of our family sessions personally — because I know how important it is to have a photographer who sees your family for who you truly are.

6. Videography Add-On Options

We now offer family videography as an add-on option to your session — because sometimes motion tells the story even better than stills.

From your child’s laughter to the way the wind moves through your hair, video captures the essence of life in motion. Our video add-ons are seamlessly styled to match the tone and emotion of your photos, giving you a cohesive storytelling experience that feels real, warm, and timeless.

7. Energy Rooted in Love

As a wife, mother, and photographer, I bring a gentle, grounded energy to every session. My goal is to help you feel at home — to remind you that this time in your family’s life is sacred and worthy of being remembered.

Because these aren’t just photos.
They’re love stories — the kind that live on long after the moment has passed.

Love Deeply.
