Megan was an absolute delight to work with - especially since the subject was my Golden Retriever. He was at ease (as was I) when we met and had our session and she is so creative in thinking outside the box for getting great shots of Baker. The portraits came out beautifully and her exhibition showcasing all of the dogs was such fun.

WOW! I can't say enough about the amazing experience we had with Megan Murray Photography. We came to Megan because our Molly is getting older, and we wanted some portraits that truly captured her personality. Megan was so kind, attentive, and loving with our "old girl". You can tell she really loves what she does.…

I had a wonderful experience with Megan Murry Photography for my professional headshots. Megan made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though I had just been in a car accident and arrived feeling anxious. She was incredibly patient in helping me choose my photos when I couldn't decide, and her turnaround time was exactly as promised. I've received so many compliments on my headshots and couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for beautiful, professional photos!

Talk about a fantastic experience! Last month we had a second pet immortalized by Megan with some fantastic portraits. Not only is she gifted when working with animals (and people), she is a talented photographer with an eye for the instants that capture the essence of our furry family members. She is extremely pleasant to work with and I, quite honestly, cannot recommend her highly enough.
