I’m Maggie!

And here’s a little bit about me…

Until I was 13 years old, I thought I had my entire life figured out. I would go to school to be a pastry chef before opening my own bakery called Maggieloo’s (the nickname my aunts gave me when I was born). I had the sketches and everything. This all changed when my dad bought a camera for our big family adventure out west in 2012. In the hour I had home alone before my sisters came home from school, I would periodically “sneak” the camera and teach myself how to use it through lots of trial and error and Google, of course.

When I was 16, three days after I got my license I drove my dad’s Ford F-150 to a farm an hour away and did my very first “official” shoot, an engagement session. From there it progressed into something that I quickly realized I wanted to one day be a career if at all possible.

A little more about me… my family is my everything. I am the oldest of 3 girls and, although I drove them insane while we were growing up by constantly borrowing their clothing, at the end of the day, they are my bestest friends. My parents are both teachers and the greatest people that I know. We’ve been through a lot, but they never stopped giving us all of the love in the world and tricking us into thinking that cleaning the floors in our bathing suits was SO much fun. Don’t worry, we’ve learned now. 

My love of nature and exploring fuels my never-ending case of the travel bug. I visit Google Flights weekly just to see where I could fly on a whim and am currently trying to hike the 48, 4000-footers in New Hampshire. When I’m not photographing weddings on the weekends throughout the summer and fall, I’m packing up my car with some friends after work on Friday nights and driving up to NH to pitch a tent in the dark and wake up with the sun for a hike!

I learned at a young age how incredibly special photographs are when they are the only memories you have left of someone. My goal is to capture the little bits of happy in everyone's lives, in the most genuine and candid way. From the happy tears of a bride on her wedding day to the giggles of a couple playing tag in the middle of a field in the pitch black, these moments never fail to bring me endless amounts of joy. 

Above all, I want the world to see a little glimpse of you through the photographs. 

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Maggie
