hi, i'm morgan!

I'm a narrative portrait and lifestyle photographer based in New Haven, Connecticut. I grew up in a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania and graduated from Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in 2016 with a bachelors in Illustration. Although these days I typically paint for myself, I continue to use my experience & knowledge in the art world to nurture my photography skills every day. Photography feels no different than composing a painting to me, just with a different medium!

my work.

I think when many of us hire a photographer, we're usually just crossing a task off of our list. Get annual Christmas photos done — Checkmark. And before I picked up portrait photography, that was really all I thought of it as well. This was supposed to be just a side hustle for me; something I was okay at, that could help me pay my bills while I decided what I direction I wanted to go in with my art. Except something else happened — photography became my art.
​The way that lighting, scenery, even clothing could all have such a profound impact on the narrative of something as simple as family photos absolutely fascinated me. I found myself searching for others who weren't simply looking for someone to fulfill a service for them, but who wanted to create something together, and have their story told more deeply by a painter with a lens.

When not behind the camera, you can typically find me with my husband ordering takeout for the third time this week, binging true crime docuseries,  and tinkering around with one of my many unfinished art projects. Over the years, I've self-published my own children's book on frogs and painted a ton of pet portraits.
​Although I'm no longer taking commissions, I'm still working on my own personal projects and am now dabbling in the world of handmade blockprinted textiles. Click below for my current pieces for sale!
