About Megan Engeseth | Minneapolis St. Paul Portrait Photographer
Meet the Artist Behind the Lens
Hi, I’m Megan (she/her), the artist behind Megan Engeseth Photography. I create bold, editorial-style portraits for high school seniors, professionals, and creatives who want more than a standard photo experience.
I work primarily with clients booking senior portraits, professional headshots, acting headshots and fine art portrait sessions.
Bringing a love for theater, history, and creativity to every portrait session.
Need a headshot that makes you look like the absolute boss you are? Done. Want a fine art portrait so stunning your future grandkids will think you were famous? Let’s make it happen. I create bold, unique images that reflect your journey and make you feel like the total rockstar you are.
What's it like
working
with me?
I talk a LOT (even though I swear I’m an introvert), swear when I get excited (it means you look AMAZING), and make ridiculous faces while shooting (you’ve been warned).
I’ll guide you every step of the way with posing tips that might feel goofy but somehow work. I’ll hype you up like your biggest fan, probably crack a few terrible jokes, and might even trip over something because I’m clumsy ... but hey, anything for the perfect shot!
If you want a stiff, formal photo session... we’re probably not a match. But if you’re down for a laid-back, fun-filled experience where you leave feeling confident, empowered, and maybe even a little like a celebrity ... let’s make magic happen!
A little fun fact about me: My life started as a theatre dork, and my background in theatre performance helps me create authentic expressions and feelings in each image with a touch of cinematic flare. I mix that with fine art and editorial styles to bring your unique story to life through powerful, emotional images.
I will find something creative and unique about you to create an amazing concept!
Is This the Right Fit?
I talk a lot and I am absolutely the hype woman during your shoot. If something is working, you will know it. I am also not shy, which means I will never leave you without guidance or let you do something that does not photograph well.
For seniors and parents, this matters. I know being photographed can feel intimidating, especially for teens who are unsure how to pose or worried about how they look. I guide every session with structure, clear direction, and a lot of care so your senior feels comfortable, supported, and genuinely confident from start to finish.
I love trying new ideas, exploring new locations, and pushing beyond the safe, expected version of a session. If you are craving something adventurous, expressive, or a little outside the box, you will get it here.
And for adults and headshot clients who hate being photographed or feel like they are “bad at photos,” you are not alone. You do not need to know how to pose or how to look confident. That is my job. No matter how you feel walking in, you will leave with the strongest portraits you have ever had of yourself.
That energy is not for everyone, and that is okay. But if you want a photographer who brings enthusiasm, creativity, and confidence into the room, guides you through the process, and helps you feel powerful and seen on camera, you are in the right place.
You will look your best because you will FEEL your best.
