While I haven’t been actively doing photography I have been working on a novel for the last five years.

I am so excited to share it with everyone!

I am still doing photography! But I have a new passion as well! I am now a stay at home mom, homeschooling my two children, a photographer specializing in weddings, and an author!

There is something truly special about a growing family and the quiet anticipation of welcoming a new baby into the world.

I have absolutely loved working with these two. From their gender reveal, to a fun half-baked session, and now to this beautiful maternity session. Each milestone has been such a joy to capture.

The love they share is so natural and effortless, and it shines through in every image. Moments like these are the reason I love what I do.

I am beyond excited for them as they prepare to welcome their little one, and I look forward to continuing to document their journey in the years to come. I’m incredibly grateful to call them not only clients, but friends.

Thank you for trusting Captured Moments by Meranda with your most meaningful milestones, big and small.

If you or someone you know is interested in booking a family, maternity, or engagement session, please reach out. My 2026 calendar is now open, and I would love to work with you for all your photography needs.

Had such a great time shooting this headshot session with my friend! We kept things relaxed and fun, but still walked away with some amazing shots that really captured Chris Kingston personality.

It’s always the best when a session feels effortless and you get to create with someone who trusts the process. Grateful for the laughs, the collaboration, and the final results!

Just a few of my favorites so far!!

I’m loving being behind my camera again!!

It’s wedding season!!

Being born on Valentine’s Day I feel like it was ingrained in my DNA to love, love. It makes my heart incredibly happy to witness and capture the beginning of marriages. To be able to witness unspoken, unconditional love shared between two people.

Getting married soon? Let’s chat and see if I fit those big day dreams for you and your significant other. 💛

What is your favorite landscape by water that you would love to have your session by? The river surrounded by trees with a rocky bank? Or maybe the ocean with its sandy shores. A forest with a creek running under a bridge? Maybe even a lake surrounded by tall firs? There really is no wrong answer! In the Pacific Northwest, specifically Wahkiakum and cowlitz county we are blessed to have access to all of this and then some!
