A little about me..

Here's how I got started

My name is Megan Henley. Out of college in 2021, I took a job at a great Portrait Photography Company, and fell in love with photography. I became Miss St. Bernard Parish Festival Queen in 2022. I used my scholarship money to buy my first professional camera and took a leap of faith. My newborn son, friends, and family became my entire portfolio.
I have been in front of the camera for many photoshoots, and behind the camera for business and learning! The best of both worlds!

“For I know the plans I have for you”

—Jeremiah 29:11

Festival Queen

As Miss St. Bernard Parish Festival Queen 2022, I have traveled the great state of Louisiana to visit other Festival Queens in their Parish, and learn about what our great state has to offer.

So I know a lot of great photo spots;)

Pageantry has improved my communication, public speaking, poise, representation of myself, and what's important to me! I love connecting with my community.

My Husband & Family

I met my now Husband, Hayden, in 2021 trying to sell him my first car online. He had a big lifted truck, but wanted a little car to drive for work. He didn't purchase the car, but he invited me to go to Monster Jam with him the next day instead. That was our first date! I became his girlfriend a week later!

On May 23, 2025, Hayden and I became Husband & Wife at the Strawberry Manor in Ponchatoula, LA!

We have the sweetest two year old son, Hudson. He is the most precious gift God has ever blessed us with.
