Let me introduce myself- I’m Meg Hamilton- the happy owner and photographer of Rodeo & Co. Photography, nestled in the northern woods of New Hampshire. I am blessed to live in a little cottage surrounded by trees with my husband, and our two little boys Marcus & Hank {ages 7 & 5}.
My work has been described among my peers & clients as: crisp, bright, clean, happy & inspired by the love and emotion of my subjects. From the very beginning, I have strived to offer a true blend of traditional & journalist styles for all of clients. This ensures that the full scope of their wedding day story is told after the fact.
I am thrilled with new opportunities to explore the U.S. of A and beyond with my camera. I am available for worldwide travel and crave the opportunity to work with travel-bug clientele. I love the seeing a new property with fresh eyes!
Tara: Tell me how you first got involved with your business.
Meg: Honestly, I’ve been into photography since middle school… but I guess what really got the ball rolling on my business was when I used to take pictures as an arson investigator.
Tara: What is the most surprising thing you’ve had happen to you on the job?
Meg: I was photographing at a styled shoot, and a huge moose wandered out of the woods!
Tara: What is your ideal Friday night?
Meg: Bringing my boys to the movies (and eating lots of popcorn!)
Tara: What is something you like to do during your free time?

Tara: What is the last book you read?
Meg: When Breath Becomes Airby Paul Kalanithi.
Tara: What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Meg: I like movies based on inspiring true stories.
Tara: What is the last movie you saw in the theaters?

Tara: What are three life memories you recall most frequently and why?

Tara: If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want with you?
