Meet your photographers

Meghan Schade Woodbury

I began my love for photography after our fourth child was born. I am an accomplished family, newborn and birth photographer with a light, simple and refreshing style. Becoming a mother was a defining part of my life and I continue to support other families and especially women by documenting their journey to motherhood. I am passionate about showing the raw strength of women and the calm moments of a newborn. I live in Camarillo with my husband, four adventurous kids, 2 cats, 1 dog and Buttercup, the hamster. I am an avid lover of being outdoors on a trail, a coastline or a mountain. I volunteer my photography skills for Surfrider Ventura Chapter and Ventura County Animal Shelter.

I have been serving photography clients for seven years now, with a wide range of experience — birth, newborns, families, weddings, stage productions, even pre-school portraits. I have realized over the years that my love is really for birth work—documenting those super special moments for families. I photographed my first birth in 2016 (it ended in a C-section, hence the photo of me in scrubs below), but with young children myself I was forced to wait a few years until going on-call for clients was more manageable. Born and raised in Ventura, I now enjoy raising our three children — two girls and a boy — with my husband of 16 years in the little beach town I’ve always called home.
