    "Meredith was an incredible photographer who impressed me, my partner, and all of my friends and family with her photos from our engagement party. She worked with us at our venue to ensure that our poses were flattering and memorable. Her eye for detail and initiative to photograph all guests in attendance helped us to capture every memory of the night. Meredith took the time to get to know us and our goals for our pictures from the night to ensure that they were everything we wanted and even better than we hoped. While my partner and I are not the most adept at taking beautiful photos ready for social-media sharing, Meredith suggested great poses for us, my friends, and my family and took photos throughout the night, both candid and posed, to capture all of the festivities in an artistic way that we loved. She always considered our input and worked with us throughout the evening to guarantee our satisfaction. Highly recommend her photography services and will be booking her in the future.” - Stephanie & Devon

    “Working with Meredith is always such a joy. She is spontaneous, incredibly intuitive, and has a true eye for photography. What I love most is her range. She adapts seamlessly to your style and brand. From shooting my booth at Cooper Young Festival with vibrant, high energy photos that perfectly matched my personality, to creating polished branding images for my website, she absolutely nailed it. After updating my site with her photos, my sales immediately went up. Meredith does not just take photos. She captures you.” - Rattlesnake Betty

    “5 Stars for Meredith! I absolutely loved having her shoot my bustling Small Business Saturday event, and I will absolutely be having her again. Meredith is excellent at shooting an array of events, and can handle high energy environments with ease. In fact, she will BRING the energy to your event and contribute so much fun to the atmosphere-- all while capturing the most vibrant, candid, and electric photos! Meredith is a creative at heart, and wants to capture the essence of your brand, making it look as beautiful as it is in real life. Don't sleep on Memphis' next best photographer, and hire her yesterday! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐” - Whitney Winkler

  • A man and woman with tattoos sitting on a red velvet couch in a dimly lit room. The man is bald and has tattoos on his arms, while the woman has long red hair and tattoos on her arms and legs. They are facing each other closely. There are drinks on a table in front of them. The room has dark wood walls, a large black-and-white framed photo, a red lamp, a blue curtain, and a neon sign that reads 'ELVIS V'.

    “For a long time, I had been looking to find the perfect photographer to fit the vibe of a couple's shoot I wanted with ny husband. I wanted something with a cool and funky, but warm vibe. I contacted Meredith cause I had a feeling She'd really be able to fit that look for me. And BOY She did not disappoint from the beginning to the end of the process. She had so many inspiration ideas that literally fit exactly what I wanted down to the positioning and editing. The way She edits her photos is so warm and inviting. We were nervous getting our pictures taken together, because it's so intimate, but She truly made us feel so special and comfortable! My husband is a quiet and shy guy, but He even came out of his shell! She was so incredibly patient with us and made us feel like super stars. We recieved our edited gallery so quick and I loved every single picture I got as well. She truly is the best! ” - Nikki & Christian

    “All I know is that Meredith met us in Overton Park, trekked with us into the woods, and sprinkled the chilly, gray day with some sort of magic pixie dust (also known as talent). We emerged with a collection of family photos, both candid and posed, that capture the spirit of each one of us and the best parts of who we are as a group. Her composition, in particular, is stunning. She is also fun, funny, and an overall good human.” - The Cates Family
