What the Lord has made

My dad woke me up one morning by yelling in my bedroom, "Maggie! Wake up! There's a photo opp. outside!"

He was right.



A Special Christmas

My family is everything to me, so it meant the world to me that I got to spend three weeks at Christmas in Chicago with my family. I feel so blessed to have a family like this.






This is my cousin, Kayla, and I. We have been the best of friends for as long I can remember. She is one of the truest and dearest friends that I have. She has seen me through all the stages of my life and been there with me through each of them. I love you dearly, Kayla.

San Jose, California

My grandfather passed away this fall. The results of growing up away from family always becomes especially apparent when a loved one dies. Most of my memories of my grandpa are from my childhood. It was hard to close the door on the possibility of new memories with him. I hate saying goodbye to hope.




My family all came together in San Jose, California to celebrate my grandpa's life together. This is the place where it all started for me.





New York City

I love you, NYC.





New York City in Black and White

I went to New York City in December and I absolutely loved it. It was almost overwhelming as a photographer.

Things I learned in New York:

- Subway stations can either be extremely terrifying or the coolest place on earth.
- I love big cities.
- People don't have much tolerance for each other in Times Square at night.
- I <3 NY t shirts are surprisingly cheap.
- I'm going to live in Brooklyn someday.

Daniel | Senior

I love my "little" brother! I can't believe he's already all grown up and I'm taking his senior pictures. He is the only son in our family, with four sisters. People always teased him about that growing up, but my sisters and I have a theory that he actually loves it. We even got him to admit to it one time. :) I'm so excited to see where the next few years take his life. He is so kind and smart - I know he'll do great things.





Jed | Senior

Jed is the younger brother of my boyfriend, Ethan. He is so sweet and is always so welcoming of me into their family. I'm excited to get to know him better and to see the great things he'll do with his life.
