Meet Marggie
Be realistic… expect miracles
Hi, I’m Marggie, a former labor and delivery nurse who followed a wild dream, hung up my scrubs, and built a 7-figure newborn photography studio from the ground up in just a few shorts years. Yep, I left the hospital behind ten years ago and never looked back. What started as a passion for photography turned into the most fulfilling business I could’ve ever imagined.
The name of my studio is a piece of my heart—it's named after my two amazing kiddos: Aniston (Ani) and Benten (Benny). They inspire everything I do.
Photography is just one part of the dream. I’ve been using mindset and manifestation practices for over 15 years to design a life I’m obsessed with. In early 2025, I felt a huge nudge to share what’s worked for me all these years. I didn’t want to gatekeep it. So I created Mindset Energy Evolution and the MEE Method—online courses that help people align their energy, shift their mindset, and actually take action toward the life they want.
Helping others discover their own passions and bring their visions to life is just as exciting to me as photography. I'm now stepping into public speaking and podcast interviews to spread this message even further.
And my mantra through it all?
Be realistic… expect miracles.
It’s never let me down.
When I’m not in the studio or working on my courses, I’m probably Ubering my kids to sports practices, laughing with my amazing husband, or living the life I used to dream about.

I'd venture to guess that your birthday, like your actual BIRTH day is the only true ONCE IN A LIFETIME event you'll have in your life. You literally cannot do it again. This is what makes it so special to capture. The tiny toes, the squishy baby back fat (my absolute fave), the happiest big bro or sister holding you, your mom glowing in my lens while holding you (we don't have to tell anyone that that's probably just postpartum sweat, ha!). What I wouldn't give to be able to go back and look at all the moments of me! My generation isn't that lucky though! We got the lay flat on your back and squeeze your eyes closed because of these extremely bright lights and there ya go! There's you as a newborn. Seriously, this is what we got. Here's mine. You're welcome.
​
Luckily, newborn photography evolved...or became, not sure you can ever say that was "newborn photography". Now, we have the luxury of freezing all of these special moments within those first weeks of life. Images that will be passed down from generation to generation comparing to a new baby in the distant future, "Oh wow, she's a spitting image of her great grandmother!" I mean how cool, right? Aside from the adorable, human squish you bring me, this is what I love most! It's freezing these precious moments for you and generations to come that bring me to the studio every day! I GET TO do that for you!
My Everything
The Ani
The Benny
The Hubby
Aniston, she's my11 going on 16 year old diva. She's stronger than I'll ever be, too smart for her own good, and sweet 90% of the time. Her sass will put anyone in their place and her eyes will make you fall in love with her instantly. She's all in with All-Star Cheer and that keeps us very busy!
Benten, he's my 8 year old baby, my mini me, my spitfire, my tender heart. The boy will melt your heart with his charm, but don't let him fool you. He's ALL BOY and sports are life. He can make play calls and penalties with the best of them. Watch out NFL, he's on his way ;) He's also very active in wrestling and playing football! And he's onto big things at the school for the gifted next year!
Saying, "Yes!" to this man was the best decision I have ever made! He's my side kick, my bestie, my partner in crime, my better half, my biggest cheerleader, the calm to my storm, my everything. We married on the beach in 2011 and haven't stopped falling in love since.

Cussing. Sometimes I cuss like sailor. I promise to be on my best behavior around your sweet babies!

Diet Coke. Enough said.

Finding time for ME! I'm really bad at remembering to take care of me so that I can be my best self for everyone else. I'm working on it...kinda.

Driving. I'm the world's worst. You've been warned, ride at your own risk and no complaining!
-
Sugar! I looooove me some dessert, or candy, or cookies, or cake. All of it. Give me all of it.

Not keeping my mouth shut when I probably should. I'm a tell it like it is kinda gal, especially to those I love. The good news is you can always trust that you will get the straight up truth from me. The bad news? I might tell you, even if you didn't ask for it...but only if I think it'll help. Just stop talking, Marggie, just stop.
