HI, I’M MEGAN

SERVING FAMILIES AND COUPLES WHO WANT TO TREASURE AND HOLD THEIR MEMORIES FOR A LIFETIME

From tender, sweet kisses, to laughs and splashes on the beach. I want to help you freeze every detail so that you can look back and treasure it. Whether you’re a local to the area, or you and your loved ones are visiting our beautiful coastal city on vacation, I want to help fill your home with tangible, heirloom art pieces that you’ll be proud to cherish everyday.

I’m a Fine Art Maternity, Couples, and Family photographer who was born, raised, and is still living in Malibu, CA. I’m here to capture you and your loved ones in images that you will want to cherish, and pass down to future generations.

Not only am I a photographer, but I am a mother, wife, daughter, and sister.

Megan has a way of making you feel as though you have been friends forever…

“Megan absolutely exceeded all of my expectations for my maternity photoshoot. She was very professional, kind and helpful. The photos came out beautifully and I would definitely use her again. I highly recommend Megan !!”
— NICOLE

  • “We had such a great time at our family portraits session with Megan! She is so talented and has such a great eye for lighting -- our photos turned out stunning. She kept our one-year-old smiling and entertained throughout. The location she recommended was beautiful as well. We'll cherish these photos for years to come. Thank you so much Megan!”

    -Olivia, Family Session

  • “Megan is so kind, thoughtful and a wonderful photographer! The location options she provided, the creative angles and poses she had me try, got us some of the best pictures we've ever taken! From start to finish, she was a wonderful communicator, always responding promptly and wanting to help make this experience as enjoyable as possible. Will definitely book with her again next time we're in SoCal - thanks so much Megan!!!”

    -Karishma, Engagement Session

  • “Megan has a way of making you feel as though you have been friends forever. We did a maternity shoot in the Almond Blossoms in Fresno. I am not a fan of showing skin but I decided to give it a try with my dresses. Megan made me feel so comfortable, I forgot I was half clothed. I had no idea what I was doing with poses and Megan was so patient and kind. She really took her time and is really great with communication. Highly recommended.”

    -Bao, Maternity Session

  • “I cannot recommend Megan enough! I'm not a natural in front of the camera, but she was fantastic at listening to what I wanted to achieve, and helping me feel comfortable and confident. Not only was I absolutely thrilled with the results, but I came away from the experience feeling beautiful, which is a gift in itself. Thank you Megan!”

    -Rebecca, Maternity

  • “Wow! What gorgeous photos. We had a wonderful experience with Megan - she is very talented. She scouted great locations ahead of time to choose from. During the photo, her personality is very easy to mesh with. She made us feel comfortable and generally not awkward on camera through her demeanor and by suggesting poses for us to try. We were doing a photo shoot with our one year old son and she was so patient and flexible about working with us to find poses that he would tolerate and helping him feel happy and comfortable. I can't recommend her more highly.”

    -Lily, Family Session

“The Most Photographed Generation Will Have No Pictures in 10 Years!”
— Mike Yost

Heirloom Quality Prints

If there’s one thing I can impress upon my current or future clients, it’s the importance of printing your images!

Digital is not forever, despite our best efforts.

I have almost no images from my teenage years because they were all digital. And guess what? They’re all stuck on my old Myspace account I can no longer access!

Years of pictures are completely gone and the only ones I have, are the physical images we printed from disposable film cameras.

Here at Megan W Photography, I offer full service, done for you printing. That way you won’t have to worry about going out and handling the designing and printing on your own.

You’ll receive high-quality, handmade, heirloom print products that won’t fall apart in a few years.

This image displays a stack of three elegant photo albums with soft, textured covers in neutral tones—beige, cream, and light tan. The albums are arranged neatly, and in the background, there is a vintage-style camera with a leather strap.
A flatlay image shows two linen-covered albums beside a framed photo. The photo in the gold frame features a couple standing on rocky terrain, holding champagne glasses and gazing at each other.
This image shows a selection of neutral-toned picture frame corners arranged on a smooth white surface, likely showcasing different framing options.

PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE

First thing I want to mention is that I am not a shoot and burn photographer.

I don’t enjoy taking your money, expecting you to show up to the session without any guidance, and then stick you with an overwhelming amount of digital images that will just sit on your hard drive, forgotten. If that’s the kind of photographer you’re looking for then I’m not the one for you.

The image shows a woman with long, wavy hair wearing a soft, light-colored dress and a pearl headband, standing indoors by a set of bright windows. She is peacefully reading a heirloom photo album with a plain blue-gray cover.

However, if you’re looking for a more hands on, custom, photography EXPERIENCE where you walk away with tangible, heirloom products that you’ll always treasure and enjoy, then I’m the perfect photographer for you!

  1. INQUIRE AND BOOK

    After you submit your inquiry form, I will check my availability and reach out with my convenient Pricing and Booking Portal! You are able to select my services, view your invoice, sign the contract, and pay the retainer all in one go! That way we don’t have to do a bunch of back and forth emailing. After that, we’re booked!

  1. STYLING & PLANNING CALL

    Part of my services as your photographer is doing a planning call with you! Before our call, I will send over a style and design questionnaire for you to fill out. During our call we will discuss wardrobe and design options.

    I love pre-planning what you envision on doing with your images after the session, that way, during our session, I can plan the perfect shots that will fill your home.

  2. SESSION DAY

    We will absolutely take the standard “everyone smile and look at the camera” shots, but my main priority is placing you and your loved ones in beautiful lighting and capturing your connections through playful prompts.

  3. AFTER YOUR SESSION

    The day after your session (or the next available postal day) I send your film off to the lab to be developed. After I get your film scans back, I will carefully match any digital images I captured to your film so your entire gallery looks seamless.

  4. DESIGN APPOINTMENT

    After I’m done putting the finishing touches on your gallery, we will schedule a gallery reveal and design appointment! During our call, we will go over your images and decide how you’d like to further enjoy them. I sell custom, handmade albums and wall art to suite your style. And don’t worry, I will do all the hard work for you! All you have to do is sit back and look forward to enjoying and passing down your images for generations to come.

  5. DISPLAY YOUR MEMORIES

    Once you have received your tangible products, it’s time to display them in your home to show the memories of your beautiful family for years to come!
