Heart Behind the Lens

I’m Meredith—the storyteller behind Cross Lake Media.

Photography and videography have always been more than a career for me. They’re how I connect with people, how I honor the sacredness of everyday life, and how I remind others of their worth.

I believe every person has a story worth celebrating. Whether it’s the rush of a wedding day, the tender chaos of family life, or the vision behind a brand—you deserve to have your story captured in a way that feels honest, timeless, and true to you.

My Approach

When you work with me, it’s not about forced poses or perfection. It’s about presence.

I guide you gently, help you feel comfortable, and create space for real emotions and genuine connection. My goal is for you to look back at your photos and films and not just see yourself—but feel yourself, exactly as you are.

Beyond the Camera

I’m based in the Midwest, but I’ll follow stories wherever they lead. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me hiking North Shore trails, enjoying good coffee, or soaking in the small, beautiful moments of everyday life.

Cross Lake Media was born out of a desire to celebrate people—and five years later, that’s still what drives everything I do.
