“ Morgan goes over and beyond. This is the second time I’ve used her and definitely not the last! I swore there was no way she got anything with my crazy toddler, but every picture was beautiful. She captures magical moments I’ll cherish forever! Her prices are also unbeatable for the quality! I cannot recommend her enough! “

“ Morgan has assisted Partridge Creek Mortuary multiple times, by request because she's always on time, extremely talented, very easy to get along with, is an awesome communicator and most of all, cares deeply for people and puts her heart into her work. Bless you Morgan. Morning Owl is definitely the go-to photographer. “

“ There are no words to describe how much Morgan went above and beyond for our wedding day! She showed up earlier than requested, was super clear with directions, had quick turnaround times for edits, and provided us with super high-quality work. Morgan's energy itself really made the photoshoot and whole event extremely memorable. Thank you so much for everything. “

“ I booked Morgan for my husband's USMC graduation and it was such a great experience. She was so nice, made us feel comfortable and was so confident in her direction. Plus the pictures came out stunning! We haven't been assigned a duty station yet, but if ended up in SoCal I already know I would book with Morgan again in the future! “

“ Hiring Morgan for my husbands homecoming was by far the best decision. She is the sweetest person to work with, and made me feel so comfortable even though my stomach was in knots. The pictures she took are absolutely breathtaking, and I have already recommended her to all my friends who’s husbands are deploying or need a photographer! She is amazing and made my homecoming something I will get to cherish forever! “

“ My family booked Morgan for a newborn lifestyle photo shoot. Originally, I wanted posed newborn photos but after a few emails with Morgan and looking at her gallery on her website I fell in love with the idea of having photos taken in the home. Getting out of the house postpartum is very difficult, its very convenient that she came to our house. She even offered to bring us Starbucks on her way over (she’s so sweet and considerate!) Morgan worked with us on placement and where to stand and found the natural lighting in our home quickly! She was very easy going and playful with my 4 year old daughter. After the shoot I was confident that I would be happy with our session. When we received our sneak peeks I was blown away. Morgan captured my family’s love for each other perfectly. […] If you are looking for a super talented and reasonably priced photographer in San Diego to capture your family’s beautiful first moments I highly recommend Morgan!“

“ Morgan is amazing! I found her as I was searching through Instagram and instantly knew I had found our photographer for our son’s MCRD graduation. She is organized, quick to respond, reliable and takes awesome pictures! We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. She was an integral part in making Graduation Day special for our family. “
