A LONG TIME COMING

OCTOBER 3, 2022

Hi! And come on in and get cozy. My name is Megan. And I am a photographer, interior designer, mom, wife, artist and business owner.

This endeavor of The Modern Edit has been a long time in coming. I think it has probably lived on a shelf in my brain for 10+ years. For the past 20 years, I have been a commercial Interior Designer. I have managed large project teams, won awards and worked with some of the best clients but it was HARD. There are so many moving parts, so many people to please, and it takes years to complete projects. And let's be real not all of it was great and if I am totally truthful most of it sucked. It required so much time away from my family and took ALL of my brain cells. At the end of the day, there just wasn't much of the creative me left to do all the other things I had imagined for my life.

Now is my time. My time to do photography and become the artist I want to be. And if design calls my name, sure- I can dip my toes back in but, I no longer HAVE to abide by all the rules anymore. I have missed so many years with my daughter and I am really excited to get to include her in my new journey. I can show her that being an artist can be a successful career outside of the typical avenues. And that you don't have to stick to just one genre either. Changing your mind, career, or trajectory of your life can be empowering and if you are being called to make a big change.... TAKE THE CHANCE and do it! Because the only thing you will look back on will be regret.

I am going into this knowing I don't know how this will go and I am going to make mistakes. ALOT of them. But I am already enjoying the excitement and thrill of trying something new. I am learning new skills daily, finding my voice, and figuring alot of it out as I go.

I am so lucky to have an amazing partner who supports most of my insane ideas, a sister who will always be my partner in crime and an amazing groups of ride or die girlfriends that keep me grounded. You will get to know them all more intimately through my story. Each one of them are a blessing and I could not do this without each and everyone of them.

Hang on to your hats! This going to be bumpy ride filled with a lot of laughter and fun.

Love,

Megan
