Meg unveiled in an interview with Bored Panda that she originally started with film at a young age and developed her own prints.
"I switched to digital when my first child was born and have been photographing my family since," the artist recalled.
"My work has shifted over the years especially as my children get older and I find myself diving into self-portraiture more and more as a creative outlet," she added.
When asked about her favorite photo she's ever taken, Meg shared that probably it would be a recent self-portrait she created inspired by the French painter Francine Van Hove, called Languid Femininity.
"I love it because it was challenging to create, and more importantly because of the meaning behind it," Meg said.
"My oldest son has been diagnosed with leukemia twice. He's currently at the end of his second treatment. This portrait encapsulates support from so many people in my life, self-care, resiliency, letting go and processing emotions," the woman explained.
Meg sees her time behind the camera as an essential form of self-care—an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with her creative spirit.
"No matter how busy I am (everyone's 'busy,' right?), I try to carve out quiet time to brainstorm ideas," she said.
"Sometimes that quiet time is in my car after dropping my kids off at school, and sometimes it's time spent outside going on a short walk," she noted.
Meg also mentioned that she always has a running list of ideas that she keeps in her planner to keep her motivated and inspired.
"This is a place where I organize my thoughts and sometimes draw out my ideas," she added.
