welcome to olive gray photography!
I’m Meshea!
My journey in photography started with the birth of my daughter, like most moms, I was desperately trying to preserve those fleeting moments in my child's life. It didn't take me long to realize that this was my passion. Photography sparked a joy in my life that I never knew I needed.
I went through several different phases in my photography career, But once I truly started listening to my voice and my heart, I realized that storytelling family portraiture was where I needed to be. There is something so beautiful about being a part of a family's story. As photographers we are creating and giving our clients memories that will last a lifetime.
When the Families that I photograph look at their images , I can only hope that they can see how beautiful they are when they are loving on each other, and that these images can transport them back to those moments in time.
My goal is to produce imagery that is authentic to them and truly tells their unique story. I strive to capture the real moments, the hugs, kisses, embraces, and sometimes, the tears.

The best photos aren’t about perfect poses. They’re about genuine connection.
But most clients don’t naturally know how to interact in front of the camera.
That’s why having the right prompts and poses makes such a difference. With a little direction, families relax, engage with each other, and create moments that feel real—and authentic .
My Family Connections: Posing & Prompts Guide is a 35-page resource designed to help you:
✔️ Encourage natural interactions so clients feel at ease
✔️ Use movement-based prompts to avoid stiff, awkward posing
✔️ Capture connection and the authentic moments, so every session flows smoothly
If you’ve ever felt stuck during a session, this guide will give you a solid plan so you can focus on capturing real, meaningful moments.
The most powerful photos are not just seen , they’re felt .

Perfect for the beginner photographer !

One day, the little moments will be the big moments. Capture them all.
Motherhood is made of fleeting moments—the tiny hands wrapped around your finger, the sleepy snuggles, the laughter that fills the air. One day, these everyday moments will be the ones you long to relive. That’s why we take pictures—to freeze time, to hold onto the love, to remember.
My daughter turned 12 today ….. 12?!?!! . And I’m feeling ALL OF THIS . It’s all so bittersweet watching your children grow .
