I AM MEGAN SPRINGER

i want to show you how beautiful you are. 

grassroots collective is grounded in the notion of holding on to what matters. families who want to experience being present with their loved ones. couples who are open to documenting their real connections. what starts as a blank canvas morphs into art by incorporating your own interests, personalities, and style. as the photographer i am there to help marry, encourage, and notice what makes you special. i document families and couples across southeast ohio, creating photographic keepsakes that are a reflection of you and what matters. 

i am megan springer and i am an enigma.

one who remains grounded in their roots and starves for cultivation. i create from a place of extension that comes from the hug i feel between a yearning for time lost, entangled with the overwhelming joy of the art of being present.

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE.

you shouldn’t wait either. let go of your hesitations and let’s capture the beauty of the here and now.
