Last fall, I had the immense joy of mentoring with Lindsay Reed, a talented newborn photographer based in Franklin, Tennessee. I love how Lindsay is able to capture cozy lifestyle newborn sessions in-home and was honored to get to learn from her. We photographed this sweet session together in Franklin, and it couldn’t have been […]

Anytime I can walk into a client’s home and just be a fly on the wall, documenting the love and joy of the family, I’m giddy!

Oh, what fun in-home sessions can be! I photographed little Camden as a newborn and six-month old, and I got to return as he was turning one for his Huntsville in-home milestone session. Shyann and Ryan are such an easy-going couple who love their little boy fiercely. They moved to the Huntsville area right before […]

This year I, like many others, set out to read more. It was one of my favorite hobbies growing up and into early adulthood, but as motherhood began almost six years ago, I found myself reading less than I’d like. I’d usually complete several books per year, mostly Christian motherhood books with a few novels […]

Being welcomed into the Garrison’s home for their newborn session was an absolute honor. Since we’d had their maternity session just a couple months prior, we met each other with ease and a hug and caught up on the last bit of Ashley’s pregnancy and delivery. One reason I love the Bump to Baby Collection […]

GET TO KNOW ME

As a mother of three, I know just how rapidly time passes and that the moments you so desperately want to hold onto quickly fade into memories. It's my passion to capture your season of life in a way that allows you to look back and remember exactly how it all felt - the way your newborn fit into the bend of your arm, your toddler's hand wrapped so easily in yours, and the way your family found joy in the chaos and the mundane. I hope to tell your story authentically and timelessly.

it's nice to meet you.

hi! i'm mallory.
