About Meg
Hi, I'm Meg!
That's short for Margaret and I am the Boston family photographer, Mitzvah photographer, wedding photographer, and chief people person behind Margaret Belanger Photography.
Fun fact...my mom wanted to name me "Meggie" after the main character in the Thorn Birds, but when my great-grandmother passed away shortly before I was born, I became Margaret after her and nicknamed Meggie.
I am a boston family photographer & photo organizer.
Being a chief people person photographer means that I photograph ALL the milestones in your family. Wedding, maternity, newborn, annual holiday photos, Mitzvah, senior portraits, and all over again. I'm probably repeating myself, but it is always an honor to create a family history through photographs.
The following sounds like the Kevin Costner speech in Bull Durham (NSFW, but iykyk), but bear with me.
I believe in celebrating moments of connection and joy.
I believe in celebrating family chaos.
I believe in group hugs and tearful wedding toasts and shared ice cream cones on a summer night.
I believe love is love.
I believe beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and religions.
I believe that your photo albums are your histories and your most valuable treasures.
I believe it should be easy for you to enjoy and share your photos.
I believe in your big days and in your every days.
There are two things I know for sure about photography. You can never have enough photos of the people you love. And, you’ll never regret the photos you take – only the ones you don’t.
When we work together, you can expect to laugh, to hug, to hold hands, to whisper to each other, and yes, to occasionally smile directly at the camera. It should feel like hanging out with friends – casual, natural, and fun!
Photographs are our diaries, our letters home, our prized possessions. They are our visual footprints.
Let’s embrace the family chaos and the quiet connections. The loud that comes with big families (and small ones), the never-ending toddler energy, the relationship between siblings, and the love between parents and children that never changes, whether your children are 2 or 42. I want to capture it all for your family.
