Hello, thanks for visiting!

My name is Megan Rascius Poor and I am currently a general practice dental resident at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. My day to day life is for the most part wrapped up in the hospital, and the time I have off is spent exploring the city and the rest of the midwest.

When I was a kid, my parents claim to have put me in sports, but I have no memory of that. Ever since I can remember, I was into the creative stuff- art, dance, music, dressing my brothers up, painting seashells with my grandma- all of it.  From starting my own piano teaching business, to forcing my friends to let me take photos of them, and even to designing creative treatment plans for my patients… creating is in my blood.  Whenever I get down, something that never fails to cheer me up is looking through the hundreds of photos I have taken of the people whom I love. I can be instantly transported to a million different moments by looking at photos.

Whether it’s a portrait session, family Christmas card, a proposal, anniversary party, or just a Saturday morning reading the paper and drinking coffee… I believe it all deserves to be remembered. This corner of the internet is a place for me to do just that- document, reflect, create. One of my favorite ways to view life is to think of moments as art. “To make living itself an art, that is the goal.” (Henry Miller)

I’d love to connect with you and hear about the beautiful moments you’d like to document.  Send me an email and let’s chat! In your email please include what you are looking for- individual portraits, family photos, couple/engagement photos, or any other magic you can dream up. I want to hear your vision!
