Voyage Denver
A few months ago Voyage Denver interviewed me about my work. I’ve been creating videos since I was a little kid. Really! Thankfully I had a tv studio in my high school and a supportive amazing teacher, Mr. Profeta (who went by Pro). I wish I could thank him today. If you have a teacher you loved, stop reading this and just go thank them!
Once you figure out what you love to do, chase after it! There will be ups and downs in anything you do. I love filmmaking and never take it for granted.
The Estrada Family
I say this a lot but it’s true - here’s another family I’ve loved taking photos of over the years!
2018 to 2021!!
The Garcia Family
We went to Crested Butte a few weeks ago with our friends and it was a ton of fun! It also was pretty much the ultimate sleepover for the kids!
Here are a few photos I took of their lovable little family 💕 I’m sure you all can tell that in the first photo, Jonathan is saying to his daughter “I got you a horse and we will ride through the mountains”. Ha!
See all photography here.
The Rudosky fam
Loved taking photos of this family again!

Adventure Nannies
Video + photos for Adventure Nannies below. Adventure Nannies is a nationwide recruitment agency focused on providing nannies, private educators, newborn care specialists, and inspiring role models for globally-minded and progressive families. Another fun shoot in the books filming & starring Peyson & Erin, thank you for being so great on and off camera! A huge thank you to Danielle Sadler too, who is lovely to work with!
Shoutout Colorado
A huge thank you to Shoutout Colorado & also Rebecca Leslie for nominating me to be featured in a local story on Shoutout Colorado! I’m used to being behind the camera so it kinda feels weird to be interviewed but it really was fun to answer questions and share my thoughts on video-making. You can read more here.
New Demo Reel
I’m obsessed with making videos. It’s my thing. I create videos from idea to final edit. It makes me happy and my goal is to create videos that make you happy.
During the pandemic, like most families, it’s been hard to balance time. I am taking on a few projects depending on the timeline, please reach out if you’re interested and have any questions.
Happy New Year!
Kids often say the cutest and most clever things. Maybe we all should take more moments to just listen.
Happy 2021 everyone! Wishing you all health & happiness! Looking forward to a better future for our children.
Happy Sunday Studio
Something fun happened…
I reached out to a small business owner in Bournemouth, England to see if she would be interested in trying out a new idea with me on creating a video. She was and it happened!
HAPPY SUNDAY STUDIO is a Mom-run business inspiring people of all ages with her banners and positive words. Anna and her husband, Peter, have quite the sweet set up with their two sons creating these beautiful banners.
Back at the beginning of the pandemic when we were homebound I was brainstorming new ways to continue being creative and making videos… I came up with this idea: Creating videos from AROUND THE WORLD. I learn about your business, create a video outline, shot list, storyboard, you film the shots, and I edit putting together a polished video like the one above on Happy Sunday Studio. Anna and Peter filmed with their phones and sent me the footage.
We can do a lot with a little and having a video of what you do is a powerful way to communicate. Your audience is smart. I think being sincere and honest is the way to go. I love creating videos and now I can create from anywhere in the world.
Photos - Jones Family AGAIN!
During the summer I took these photos of a friend and her lovable growing family. A few months later they have a new addition, meet Navy!
This is Joy and Claire
Here’s a short series of videos I recently created (concept, filming, to editing) for the weekly podcast, This is Joy and Claire. They’re a charming duo and it was a fun morning shoot hiking in Boulder. This project really was a joy, no pun intended! I’ve known Joy for a decade and loved being able to work with her again.
"Megan worked with us to create the perfect videos! We've been podcasting for over 7 years and wanted a new creative way to showcase our brand. From start to finish, Megan was committed to delivering exactly what we were needing. She communicated often about her ideas throughout the process, and immediately had a vision when we told her what we had in mind. Her planning and precision is unmatched. Megan has the experience to know exactly what needs to happen to make the day go smoothly. If you're looking for a talented, creative, friendly, and dedicated videographer look no further!” - Joy Parrish
This is Joy and Claire has released over 400 weekly episodes and bonus features. They cover everything from mental health, wellness, marriage, and parenting, to all the other random things that you’d talk to your friends about.
New episodes are available every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts.
To be a kid
Happiness is when the kids are happy.
There’s so much we can learn from children such as how to enjoy the simple things, exploring with curiosity like the world is new, and how to laugh like no one is watching! To quote Brian quoting Daniel Tiger to our kids the other night “Enjoy the wow that is happening now”!!

Energize Colorado
It felt great to volunteer and make this video for Energize Colorado a few months ago. They are here to help Coloradans provide resources and relief to small businesses, nonprofits, and individuals, supporting them in recovering from the economic impact of COVID-19.
I also had fun filming from afar wearing a lovely mask my friend Danny, owner of My Brother’s Bar, and got to film at Moxie Bread. Also thanks to Dave Mayer from Technical Integrity for all he does for Energize Colorado and recording those AMA’s you’ll see shots from in this video.
If you need help or want to give help, please check out Energize Colorado. There are good people in this world!
My Brother's Bar
Filmed a friend from afar a few weeks ago. My Brother’s Bar is the oldest bar in Denver continuously serving beer & spirits since 1873. Its family owned and really a Denver classic. They’re open for pickup & delivery!
This is REB
I’ve always had a love for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and have been lucky enough to film lots of entrepreneurs over the last decade. Watching people create worlds they want to see and learning about different passions is super interesting!
I’m now offering small business video packages, more info here! This is an easy, affordable way to show potential customers who you are and get your message out there through video.
I know this is a tough time for a lot of people for many different reasons. I take safety really seriously. When is comes to filming small businesses, I’ll remain a minimum of 6 feet away, wear a mask, and at this time use a shotgun microphone so I don’t have to get close with a wireless mic.
Our friend, REB - refinishing everything beautiful, specializes in kitchen cabinet and wood furniture refinishing. I made this video for Rebecca & Jay a few months ago. Here’s the instagram version.
Little Big Heart Trailers
Little Big Heart is a short documentary I recently made about kids, growing up, and staying young. Kids can say the funniest things and often teach us just as much as we can teach them. When I stared Big Heart Film, I did with the intention of creating more films giving kids a voice.
I’m also super thrilled & humbled that Little Big Heart won Best Children’s category in the Independent Shorts Awards in LA. Here are a few trailers…

Family documentaries
Video is a powerful tool. You can make someone smile by giving them a family movie. Learn more here.
I’ve truly enjoyed editing your mini family documentaries and hearing how happy they’ve made the people you care about feel! I know it’s personal to send someone else footage of your life. It’s an honor and a lot of fun to be part of something positive. If I can help make people happy through video, that’s the dream!
On that note, Happy Birthday Ellie! I love you infinity!! Here’s another example of a family documentary I put together.
