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!
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!

Editing client galleries and traveling! I am always on the go, exploring a new country, city, etc. while continuously working my hardest to make sure every photo and film is perfect for each and every one of my clients!!
Focusing on my health and wellness! Whether it's a yoga session, workout with my trainer or cooking a new healthy recipe I found on Pinterest, I always try to find ways to focus on myself that make me feel good!
