Hello There!

Hi! I’m Megan Small and I am a Bay Area based photographer specializing in maternity, newborns, and families. I have always been infatuated with the art of documenting everyday life. Through high school and college I carried around a camera capturing every party, gathering of friends, or just a regular day at school. By recording those special moments that at the time seemed like just another ordinary day, are now cherished images and fragments of time that I will forever treasure. This is the model I bring to Megan Small Photography, to capture a family hanging at home, a newborn in it’s first week of life, or a birthday party where the family has come together to celebrate. I have always made it a point to document special events and those moments in between and after having my son in the fall of 2016 I realize just HOW important it is to capture all those milestones, as they pass way too quickly. 

Since I started my journey in photography I finally felt as though all the dots had been connected and I found my true passion. I have combined my love for art, children, babies, beauty, and composition into a successful and continuously rewarding business. When I'm not shooting, you can catch me spending time with my husband, Sam, and kids: Maverick, Margeaux and Roman, justifying another cup of coffee, making to-do lists and planning our next vacation.

I look forward to meeting your family and getting to know you as I document those precious milestones in your lives. 

Four months have come and gone and we’ve entered one of my favorite stages. It’s almost like he just woke up and realized the whole world around him. He loves to smile and listen to people talk and sing, he lights up when his brother and

Three months gone in a flash. Trying to enjoy every minute as it flees. Roman has become the “chill” third kid that I had heard all about, he loves to be held and lights up to any face that talks or sings to him. Oh Roman Grey, we love yo

Obligatory pumpkin patch pic, Roman had so much fun he peed his pants. 🎃🎃🎃
‘Tis the season where I’m shooting and editing everyday and my personal pics take the back burner. We celebrated M+M earlier this month with a party animal themed birthday party, the kids enjoyed an animal show where they got to hold a 75
Life right now seems like a circus juggling act while suffering from extreme jet lag, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Welp the second month went by faster than the first! We’re still smitten despite Roman’s rbf, still looking forward to longer stretches of sleep and enjoying his baby smiles and “coos” #romangreyabels #twomonths
Life is funny, you look forward to the future (longer sleeping stretches) while simultaneously already missing the present (sweet newborn snuggles). Also be very careful what you wish for, because you might just get it.
