meghan

a Southern California lifestyle photographer with a love for natural light, real moments, and photos that feel like you on your best day.

My work is about creating space for you to just be. To laugh, move, cuddle, dance, wrangle kids, wrangle dogs, wipe happy tears, and forget about the camera altogether. I lean into natural light, real connection, and that “let’s just see what happens” energy that brings out the best in people (and pets).

about the photographer

about me

Maybe you’re celebrating something huge. Maybe you’re in a season that feels tender, exciting, chaotic, or all three at once. Maybe you’ve been meaning to book photos for years and just haven’t quite done it yet. Wherever you’re at, you don’t need to show up perfectly styled, perfectly posed, or perfectly calm.

My hope is that you leave your session feeling relaxed, seen, and excited — and that when you look back at your photos years from now, you don’t just remember how it looked… you remember how it felt.

"Absolutely phenomenal photographer!

Meghan captured my brother and his fiancée proposal on one of the beaches in SoCal, and her work was nothing short of breathtaking. Every photo was filled with genuine emotion, authenticity, and artistic beauty. She has an incredible eye for detail and a calm, positive energy that made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable.

Everyone who’s seen the photos has been blown away — they perfectly tell the story of such a special day. I couldn’t recommend Meghan more highly for anyone looking for a talented, professional, and truly gifted photographer. Keep up the great work, Meghan.”

"She is a wizard"

“Our photography evening was less than ideal with two discontented toddlers, but you would never know it from our photos! Megan got beautiful shots of our family and everyone magically looked happy!!! She is a wizard. So glad we chose her to capture our family.”

"Meghan is an amazing person and a spectacular photographer!

She captured moments from our wedding that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!” 

"Meghan is wonderful!! 

My fiancé and I did our engagement shoot and Meghan was easy and fun to be with (exactly what you need for engagement shoots). The results.. amazing!! I looked at our collection of photos today (3 months later) and still feel so giddy and in love with the photos Meghan shot! Meghan was flexible, checked out our requested location ahead of time, and got our photos to us SO fast. Looking forward to future shots with Meghan!”

"We couldn’t have had a better experience"

“Meghan was our photographer for our engagement and wedding and we couldn’t have had a better experience. She is kind, friendly, and made us completely comfortable in front of the camera. She has such a natural eye for photography and captured moments so beautifully.

Aside from her amazing photography skills, Meghan is a genuinely beautiful person inside and out. Her kindness and positive energy made our experience even more special. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes taking photos feel effortless and fun, you won’t regret hiring Meghan!” 

“Meghan was creative, patient, timely, and adaptable. 

Even when the tides started rising, she was dedicated to getting the shot. She genuinely wanted to capture the best moments of us. From scheduling to editing, she was so friendly to work with. And of course, we loved our photos.”

"Meghan Rowland Photography is truly one of a kind!

We’ve been lucky enough to work with Meghan for so many milestones in our lives—graduation photos, engagement pictures, surfing sessions, and most recently, our wedding—and every single time, she has blown us away. Meghan is not only an unbelievably talented photographer with an incredible eye for detail and storytelling, but she’s also one of the warmest, kindest people you’ll ever meet. She has a gift for making you feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera, turning what could be an awkward experience into something fun, natural, and full of genuine smiles and laughter.

Her photos capture real moments, real emotions, and memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. Meghan goes above and beyond every single time—whether it’s braving the waves for surfing shots or capturing every perfect detail of our wedding day, she pours her heart into what she does. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Meghan and can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our most important memories. She’s not just our photographer—she’s become a true friend, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

"We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Meghan for many years.

She has captured some of the more important moments in our lives including our engagement, maternity, and newborn photos. Each time, she has surpassed our expectations with her incredible talent and warm demeanor.

She makes us feel completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to capture genuine, heartfelt moments is truly remarkable. She has given us photos that we will treasure forever.

We cannot recommend Meghan enough. If you want a photographer who blends artistic vision with a personal touch, she is the one for you. She has given us memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we are forever grateful for her exceptional work.”
