A Summer Estate Wedding at Cameron Estate Inn in Mount Joy, PA | Leah + Cameron | July 8, 2023
They were incredibly easy to work with as well. When I asked Leah her preference for one spot over another on her wedding day, she responded, “Whatever you think, Megan. I trust you completely. We hired the best so we wouldn’t have to think.”

A Personal Essay: The Perfect Summer Morning
Today, I gave my kids a simple summer writing prompt to kick off the first day of summer vacation and to get us thinking about what our summer would look like this year: “Describe your perfect summer morning.” I decided to join in too! As a mom and entrepreneur, my ideal morning isn’t extravagant or picture-perfect. It’s slow, quiet, and connected. It’s real.

A Black Labrador Puppy Party in PA
We threw her a little birthday party yesterday and invited her best friend, Junie, to come over and play. There were pup cups, watermelon, and a basket of new toys to enjoy. It was a blast!

A Spring Hibernia County Park Maternity Session | Bailey’s Baby Bump | May 8, 2025
A dream is a wish your heart makes—one of several tattoos peeking out from beneath Bailey’s black maternity gown. This one in particular made me smile. A fitting quote as she grows her heart’s wish inside her belly. At 37 weeks, she is mere days away from meeting her sweet babe.

Hoffer Easter 2025
As the youngest sibling, I sometimes feel guilty that Katie is always asked to step up while I continue to just show up. So, I did what I always do to chip in.

Pierson is ONE!
It’s always an honor to continue documenting my clients’ lives past their wedding days. I’ve had the honor of photographing Theresa and Colin’s engagement session, wedding day, first anniversary year, second anniversary year/pregnancy announcement (they surprised me with the news on this shoot), first family shoot, and now, this one. I’m a lucky girl—I love that the Albright family is part of the #meganhofferfamily in more ways than one.

Given the drizzly weather, we had to get creative in Odette’s indoor spaces, which turned out to be incredibly fun. Thank you to all the restaurant and bar guests who made space for us to take their portraits. I’m very grateful!
