This or That: Megan’s Personal Preferences

Hey there, friends! I thought it would be fun to step away from photography for a moment and share some of my personal preferences through a little game of "This or That." It’s a simple way for you to get to know me better (and maybe even find some things we have in common)! Ready? Let’s dive in!

1. Coffee or Tea?

Coffee all the way! I can’t start my day without a strong cup of coffee—whether it's a fancied up with with honey & sugar or one with a little splash of cream, it’s my go-to morning ritual. Tea has its time, but I’ll always reach for coffee first.

2. Beach or Mountains?

This one’s a toughie, but I have to say beach. I love the sound of the waves, the warm sand underfoot, and the laid-back vibe. That said, mountains definitely have a way of making me feel grounded too.

3. Summer or Winter?

I’m definitely a summer person. The long days, sunshine, and warm weather make me feel energized. Plus, I can never say no to beach trips and outdoor adventures!

4. Morning or Night?

Definitely a morning person! I’m usually up by 5 AM, tackling my to-do list before the sun even rises. A few years ago, I made the shift from being a total night owl—I used to stay up until 2 AM regularly! But now, staying awake past 9 PM feels nearly impossible.

5. Sweet or Savory?

If I had to choose, I’d go with savory. Whether it’s pizza, fries, or a good sandwich, savory foods are my weakness. But, I can’t deny I have a sweet tooth for chocolate or ice cream when I need a treat!  Did someone say, cinnamon rolls?

6. Netflix or YouTube?

While I love YouTube for learning and figuring things out, I probably clock more hours on Netflix and Amazon Prime. They’re my go-to for unwinding, whether it’s a good series or a movie night!

7. Reading Fiction or Nonfiction?

When it comes to reading for fun, fiction takes the lead. I’m a sucker for a good story that can transport me to another world. But, when I’m looking to learn something new, nonfiction definitely wins out. However, I usually have one personal development book and one fiction book on my night stand. 

8. Planner or Go with the Flow?

I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a planner. I like to have my days mapped out, whether it’s for photography shoots or personal tasks. But, I’m also working on embracing a little spontaneity here and there—it’s all about balance!

9. Cats or Dogs?

Dogs all day! They’re just so full of life and energy. We have 3! I love the companionship they bring, and honestly, they’re the best co-pilots on any adventure. Cats are cool, but dogs just have my heart!

10. Adventure or Relaxation?

I’m all about a good adventure! Whether it’s a road trip or a new photography location, I’m always up for exploring. But, I do value those peaceful, relaxing moments too—sometimes, nothing beats a quiet day to recharge.

11. Podcast or Music?

Podcasts all the way! I love listening to inspiring and educational content while editing photos, taking a walk or driving. But, when I need a boost of energy, a good playlist is always a go-to.  Did you know that I started my own podcast??

12. City or Countryside?

As much as I love the energy of the city, I think I’m more of a countryside person at heart. The peace and quiet, wide open spaces, and fresh air are my ideal escape from the hustle and bustle.

13. Texting or Phone Calls?

I’m a texting person. It’s quick, easy, and allows me to communicate without the pressure of an immediate response. But, I do enjoy a good phone call with close friends or family when I need that personal touch.

14. Travel by Plane or Road Trip?

I’m all about the road trip. There’s something so freeing about hitting the open road, discovering new places, and having the freedom to stop whenever you like. Planes are quick, but road trips are adventures in themselves!

15. Homebody or Social Butterfly?

I’ll admit it, I’m more of a homebody. I enjoy cozy nights in, curled up with a good book or working on creative projects. But, I love a good social gathering when I’m in the mood for it!
