Hi there I’m Margaret! I’m the owner and lead photographer + videographer at Aspen & Co. Photo + Film! I’m also a lover of unique travel adventures, practicing yoga, trying new healthy recipes and of course spending time with my sweet pups Aspen and Sadie! I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I have over 5 years of photography experience shooting a variety of weddings, couples, portraits and events! I was first introduced to photography when I was 13 years old. At that age I was the main photographer for our middle school’s yearbook which prompted my parents to invest in a camera for me after seeing how passionate I was about it. Shortly after that, my cousin got married and let me be a part of capturing their wedding photos alongside the photographers they hired. Once I had the opportunity to do that and got a glimpse of what was possible when I got the chance to create with my camera, everything aligned for me and I knew photography held a unique place in my life.
I’m really passionate about photographing + filming couples, elopements (USA + international) and destination weddings. It is truly the coolest thing ever that I can combine my love for travel with creativity and work with couples in so many places! Whether your destination wedding, elopement or session is close to home in the Midwest or on the other side of the world, I’ll pack my bags and meet you there with my camera in hand!

“If you can dream it, you can do it!”- Walt Disney.
My shooting style: I love getting to make my photo sessions, wedding days, or elopement adventures a memorable experience for my clients!
When I was 16 I was featured in Oxygen Magazine for health + fitness! It is by far one of my biggest accomplishments and I am forever grateful to have been able to share my experience with so many. You can read the article here.
If I wasn't a photographer, I would have most likely obtained a degree in Global Health and/or Integrative Medicine. While I see what western medicine can do for many, I am a firm believer that eastern medicine has a role in healing that medication does not. I have always been passionate about finding a way to help people in all circumstances and understand how vital it is to nurture your wellbeing through food, medicine, exercise and healthcare where accessible.
I was adopted when I was three days old and I'm the only child! I was born in Chicago, IL and have been raised here my whole life!

“Margaret did our wedding back in August. She’s very professional, but yet very personable. Very easy to get ahold of and quick to edit photos. Love the moody photo style, but she is accommodating/open to changing the way she edits. My husband and I don’t usually take a lot of photos but she made it easy for us to have fun with it and help us with poses and it gave us so much variety. The photos turned out wonderful! Would definitely recommend!” - Sarah H.
“My graduation was ruined by COVID, but Margaret made me feel so proud and beautiful during our photo session. She is such a beautiful person and an incredible photographer!” - Danya S.
“Margaret and her associate, Lauren were so fun and amazing to work with! They made us feel so comfortable and guided us through our engagement photoshoot. They captured amazing photos that we will cherish forever! We highly recommend Aspen & Co. Photo + Film!” - Monica D.
“We really loved working with Margaret for our family's fall mini photo session. I found her information on NextDoor and I messaged her and she got back to me right away. She was so flexible with the timing of our shoot (rain forced us to reschedule) and was really quick to respond via text (gotta love that)! During the photo shoot she was so fun to work with and did great with our two little kids. The pictures turned out beautifully and I will treasure them! Thank you, Margaret!!”
