She seamlessly merges the roles of mom and art photographer to create heartwarming images that embody the traditional family.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"portrait<\/p>\n

Meg Loeks lives in a remote, rural area of northern Michigan with her husband, three little boys, and a huge Saint Bernard named Juni. She loves spending time outdoors whenever possible. In her photography she bounces between lifestyle, fine art and environmental portraiture and loves to merge these different photographic genres together. Meg is drawn to low light and color theory, but her greatest inspirations are her children and nature. Her images have been frequently published in Click Magazine, and she\u2019s actively engaged in Click & Company where she mentors and inspires moms just like her. She\u2019s also had several images included in their Voice Collection.<\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

Meg was recently named Looks Like Film 2016 Artist of the Year, and she\u2019s an ambassador for Sigma and Profoto. Lately she\u2019s cut back on her commercial work, limiting her clients mostly to close family and friends.<\/p>\n

\"young<\/p>\n

It was because of her dad, a photo enthusiast who mainly shoots nature, that Meg Loeks developed a passion for photography. Her dad had a subscription to National Geographic and she used to save every issue.<\/p>\n

Meg started shooting film when she was about 14, and began developing film in her high school\u2019s darkroom. She took a break from photography during college but picked it up again when she started having children. By then she\u2019d made the switch to digital.<\/p>\n

\"young<\/p>\n

Her mission: to photograph her children as they were, and to interweave her love of nature photography with her children by encouraging them to explore. Around the time her first son was born she started taking classes through Clickin Moms, now known as Click & Company. Before that she\u2019d only taken a few classes in high school and was mainly self-taught. \u201cThe two photographers who helped me become the person I am today are Emma Wood and Caroline Jensen,\u201d<\/em> says Loeks. \u201cWhile I didn\u2019t really have a one-on-one mentorship with them, I did take several of their workshops.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"half<\/p>\n

Meg Loeks\u2019s current mission can be described as creating images that capture \u201cchildhood nostalgia.\u201d She had a wonderful childhood herself and she wants her children to experience much of what she did when \u201cthings were simpler, time was mostly spent outdoors, and children were encouraged to take risks.\u201d<\/em> Her goal is to capture those beautiful moments as they occur. Her oldest son was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) just over a year ago, and she\u2019s now faced with daily challenges. Paradoxically, while her life is now devoted to his recovery, her photography tends to capture the very opposite of that turmoil. It tends to be quiet and calm. \u201cSomeone once told me that my work was like a home cooked meal, and that really stuck with me,\u201d<\/em> says Meg with a smile.<\/p>\n

\"young<\/p>\n

Meg Loeks considers the editing process just as important as the actual shooting. She loves to bring an image to life and that\u2019s what she aims for when editing. \u201cI\u2019m drawn to rich colors and moody light,\u201d<\/em> she observes. \u201cThe editing portion truly completes my images for me. I often know exactly what I want to do with an image in post processing before I ever hit the shutter button on my camera.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"young<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in Meg\u2019s camera bag?<\/h4>\n

What equipment does Meg use to capture her masterful images of childhood and family? Her go-to camera is a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV<\/a>, and her favorite lenses are a Canon 35mm f\/1.4L version II<\/a> and a Sigma 85mm f\/1.4 DG HSM Art<\/a>. She mainly uses the 35mm when shooting indoors and the 85mm outdoors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often shoot in low light indoors because of the way my house is set up and because I prefer it,\u201d<\/em> she says. \u201cMy 35mm has proven to be fast and sharp, especially in those situations, but the 85mm f\/1.4 Sigma is my absolute favorite lens. I\u2019m able to achieve beautiful compression with this moderate telephoto lens, which helps to separate my subjects from the background. It\u2019s fast and incredibly sharp. I also love that I also don\u2019t have to stand too far from my children as you do with some telephoto lenses.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Meg Loeks is primarily a natural light photographer. Her main goals with lighting: to highlight her subject as much as possible while having the background and surroundings be secondary. She often prefers to shoot lifestyle and environmental portraits, so she tends to seek out or create \u2018pockets of light\u2019 to isolate the subject. Her favorite types of light: soft window light, \u2018Dutch Masters\u2019 light aka Rembrandt lighting, and Golden Hour backlight.<\/p>\n

\"young<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s mentoring or counseling family photographers or up-and-coming pros in this highly competitive field, Meg Loeks offers the following sage advice: if you haven\u2019t found your voice and personal style yet, remind yourself that it takes a while. Study the artists that you love. They can be painters, illustrators, film producers and of course photographers. Ask yourself what it is that you love about their work. Take time out of your day to push yourself to try new things. The world of photography is heavily saturated as we well know, and it\u2019s hard not to compare your work to those around you. What matters most is whether you are proud of your work or not. \u201cThat last point may sound like a clich\u00e9\u201d<\/em> Meg admits, \u201cbut I think it holds some truth value.\u201d As for her own style she says, with admirable concision and humility, \u201c<\/em>My images are typically rich in color and depth, contain warm tones, and often exude a quiet and calm mood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

How does Meg see her career and her images evolving over the next few years? Her answer is telling. \u201cMy heart and passion lie with documenting my children and family,\u201d<\/em> she asserts. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t see that changing ever.\u201d<\/em> However she has always loved teaching, and over the next few years she hopes to rekindle her longtime interest in film. \u201cI especially miss developing my prints and I hope to create and teach a new workshop,\u201d<\/em> she continues. Meg has a couple workshop ideas in mind and she\u2019d love to develop and implement them over the next year or so. In addition she has a project lined up with Profoto that\u2019s launching later this year, but the details are still under wraps. Finally, Meg is thinking about launching a photographic retreat, but it\u2019s still in the planning stage.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

We asked Meg whether she had any special opportunities or faced any particular challenges as a woman photographer, and her answers are forthright and revealing. \u201cPersonally I don\u2019t feel I\u2019ve faced any particular challenges as a woman photographer,\u201d<\/em> she observes, \u201cbut sometimes I\u2019m not taken as seriously because my main subjects revolve around my family. However my children are my greatest inspiration. They are the reason I pick up my camera every single day. I realized long ago that if you\u2019re not photographing something you absolutely love, the results will be mediocre at best. So I decided the best thing to do was to document the world around me, and my family\u2019s daily life. That\u2019s where I have always felt a pull. I want my children to look back at the images I created and see how I saw them. I want my viewers to feel as though they were with me during these moments, that they felt what I felt.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Indeed, it is that passion, and its masterful execution, that makes Meg Loeks\u2019s heartfelt images so unique and emotionally compelling.<\/p>\n
