Welcome to Wray 18 Photography: Capturing Family Moments in Northeast Ohio

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m the photographer behind Wray 18 Photography, and I’m so excited you’re here. I love capturing real, heartfelt moments for families, from maternity sessions to newborn snuggles, toddler giggles, and full-family portraits.

This blog is my space to share photography tips, behind-the-scenes stories, and a few of my favorite products that make life as a busy mom and photographer a little easier. Whether you’re a parent looking for advice on prepping your little ones for a session or someone curious about the gear I use, there’s something here for you.

Who I Am and What I Do

I’m based in Northeast Ohio, and I specialize in family photography, mini sessions, and weddings. My goal is to create images that feel natural, timeless, and full of emotion. I shoot with my Nikon Z6II and a collection of lenses, memory cards, and gear that help me capture every moment, from wide family shots to candid toddler smiles.

But beyond photography, I’m a mom navigating life with a busy toddler, a wife, and someone who loves sharing the little things that make life smoother, whether that’s a favorite coffee gadget, a toddler essential, or a kitchen tool I can’t live without.
