About

My name is Meagan Hudak and I’m a portrait photographer living in the western suburbs of Illinois.

I have been photographing families since 2013 and my love for it grows with each shoot. The photos I love the most are the ones that capture how families feel – I love when I’m editing and I just start laughing at a picture or WITH a picture. I might direct people in a certain way, but then I really am waiting for it to fall apart so that the natural moments happen and I can snap away at that. So if your kid(s) is/are a little CRAZY, let’s just work with it! I always try to encourage families to have fun and I’ll let you know if I want you to look at me…otherwise, get into each other!  Kids are kids, I get it…I have three AND I’ve photographed IT ALL: the good, the bad, the hammer throwing, etc…Truly, nothing will surprise me and I do not judge. I know that parenting is hard and kids are their worst on a photo day. It’s just how it goes. So PLEASE, let’s just get that out of the way. I will do my best to just go with the flow and be flexible to make sweet memories happen.

Aside from all that, I’m a girl who loves having dance parties with my girls, I’ll do anything to rearrange my life to TRAVEL. I love chocolate ice cream with sprinkles and I can’t get enough spicy food. I’m passionate about learning and growing, I want to be better with each session. I live in Illinois because we love our community…otherwise we’d be living on a sun drenched beach. I love getting to meet new clients and photograph regular clients and am truly looking forward to learning more about you! XO-M
