BACKGROUND In the small town of St. Helena in Napa Valley, Meg was raised among relaxed gatherings of food and wine, where a spirit of joie de vivre left a lasting imprint on her artistic vision. Drawn to photography from an early age—complete with her own darkroom in high school—she went on to study photojournalism and social documentary photography as an art history major at UC Berkeley. While working for a National Geographic photographer, a friend’s wedding sparked an unexpected shift, and what began as a favor soon became a calling.
