Welcome to Shuttering Moments, where every click captures a story. My name is Michael McMaugh, and I’m the proud owner of Shuttering Moments Photography. My journey began in 2003, when I honed my skills as a Combat Photographer while serving in the U.S. This experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of a single photograph to tell a compelling story, and it’s a passion that has d

riven my work ever since. In 2017, I founded Shuttering Moments to combine my love for photography with my commitment to capturing life’s most unexpected and cherished moments. I believe that a photograph is more than just an image; it’s a portal to a memory—a reminder of the people you were with, the joy you felt, and the atmosphere of the day. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a family gathering, or a significant life event, I am dedicated to preserving those moments in a way that allows you to relive them for years to come. Beyond photography, Shuttering Moments offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet all your creative needs. From videography and graphic design to web design, social media content creation, and marketing, my goal is to ensure that every project I undertake not only meets but exceeds your expectations. I take pride in delivering high-quality results that stand out and leave a lasting impact. Let’s work together to create something unforgettable. Cheers,
Michael McMaugh

Clean lines, balanced lighting, and a welcoming atmosphere — that’s what great real estate photography should capture.

✨ Capturing Life’s Most Unexpected Yes ✨

One of the things I love most about photography is being part of moments that mean everything to people — even when I don’t get to meet them until the very moment it all unfolds.

This surprise proposal was one of those incredible experiences. I was contacted by the groom’s sister to secretly capture the big moment at WaterFire Providence, and I didn’t meet the couple until after she said “yes!” ❤️

From documenting the surprise to transitioning right into a portrait session, I had the honor of capturing every emotion, every reaction, and every spark of joy.
Sometimes I’m behind the camera shooting photos, other times I’m filming video, and in special cases like this — I get to do both to tell the full story.

🎥💍 A huge thank you to for being such an amazing partner in making this moment go off without a hitch.

Whether it’s a proposal, wedding, or any milestone worth remembering — I’d love to help capture your story in a way that lasts a lifetime.

Currently diving into the edits from last Saturday’s portrait sessions at Shine Bright — and wow, what a blast! I had such a great time photographing these families… so much joy, energy, and personality in every frame. 🎉📸

Sneak peeks coming soon!

And… heads up — Holiday Portrait Sessions are on the way! Stay tuned for the official announcement! 🎄✨

As if my to-do list wasn’t already jam-packed… my co-worker, Peppermint, decided now was the perfect time for a nap — right as we’re about to build out a brand-new studio setup for my amazing clients. Typical.

✨ More details coming soon! ✨

But here’s what’s already cooking this week:
1)Website build for Shine Bright — a childcare center in Cumberland, RI

2)Full rebrand for Tucci Brothers Collision in Cranston, RI

3)Two book projects with local authors (North Providence + East Providence)

4) Custom Vehicle Graphics for Splash Day — local power washing & landscaping pros

5) Photo scanning + retouch/editing for a Pawtucket business

6) Business card design for a client all the way in Santa Cruz, CA

…and that’s on top of a few new projects that landed after today’s meetings.

Once Peppermint finishes her mandatory union break, I’m hoping to have the new studio space ready this week so I can share the good news with you all!

(For those wondering — yes, Peppermint is my dog. He runs HR and morale.)

This week is already off to a fantastic start!

✨ Just signed a client to develop a brand-new website.
✨ Another client booked me to design their book—from the front and back covers to illustrations throughout.
✨ Plus, I’m editing the wonderful family photos from
Saturday’s Fall Fest.

Excited to see what else I can accomplish this week!

Wishing everyone a productive and positive Monday!
