Behind the Lens




I am not very good at talking about myself. I actually despise it very much! haha
Im just going to tell you the usual info.

My name is Megan, some people call me Meg. I am 21 years young, Ill be 22 in October 2011.
I grew up outside of a tiny town in Southern Illinois. I mean like 500 people 'tiny'!
I love the colors Black and Hot pink... ^ Obviously!
I own my dream car. A Mazda Rx8. The only other dream car is a 67 shelby gt500 ;)
Im not your typical girl. I love cars, and I know a lot about them.
I was raised in the country and that's where my heart stays!
I love shoes. The obnoxious 5" tall, expensive kind.

In June of 2010 I married my best friend. We are so perfect for each other. We argue... a lot, but it is because we are both so stubborn! No matter what we argue about, within 5 minutes we can apologize, and be back to being best friends. I can not imagine my life without him. Wherever he goes, I will be right next to him. Wherever the Army takes us, I am along for the ride!

I never really participated in much growing up. I didn't do sports of any kind. As a kid I dreamed of being a photographer but I never thought I would actually do it. It didn't seem possible then.
When my Daddy passed away in 2008 is when my passion for photos really hit me. I realized that besides the memories, pictures were all I had left of him. I regret that I don't have very many.

That is when my passion began to flourish. I LOVE what I do. I feel so blessed to be able to capture memories for others. Something that they can hold onto for forever, and even pass down to their children.

I'm so grateful for the life God has provided for me :)
