this is me.

I make art to show my soul that I'm listening.

Welcome to my little piece of the internet. Enjoy yourself while you look around, seeing the way I see things.

"Don't ever be ashamed of loving the strange things that make your weird little heart happy." -Elizabeth Gilbert

Hi! I’m Mallory.

Being a mother changed the way I hold a camera.

Motherhood taught me to find beauty in the unscripted. I’m not interested in curated perfection; I’m here to witness the love that already breathes within your family.

I’ve learned that the most meaningful moments aren't the staged ones—they’re found in the "beautiful chaos" of everyday life.

I photograph for connection.

My goal is to see the real you and celebrate the bond you’ve already built. These photos are so much more; they are true, vulnerable records of your unique story. When you look back, I want you to remember it all:

the laughter, the wild energy, and the deep tenderness that ties it all together.

I’ve been documenting my world since film in the 90s! (Oh my gosh, I love how that sounds—and the best part is, it’s the truth!) That lifelong love for the craft has led me here, to you. I am not a robot, I am a human who makes connections.

While I do have a studio, my heart really beats for in-home sessions. There is something so special about being in your space, where you are oh so comfortable, relaxed, and entirely yourself. Or, if the walls are feeling small, let’s venture out into nature to see what light tugs at our souls.

Wherever we go, I’ll be your hype girl through it all.

connection over perfection.

Behind the lens, I wear all the hats: marketing, HR, finance, creative lead, even motivational speaker (cause Lord knows I need that come 2:00am when I still have lots of editing to do). I succeed at this because I am insane hahaha!

I’m 34.5-years-old and I’ve been a photographer my entire life. I started as a child in the 90s with film and disposables. I won an award + got published when I was NINE! (with a photo I took of a butterfly through a magnifying glass held up to my disposable camera). By high school, I was photographing weddings with film (cue the heart-pounding panic as the film roll loudly hit zero and re-rolled, echoing through the church right before the kiss).

Back in high school, I was told “photography isn’t a real career.” Listen, art chose me. It pursues me. Relentlessly. I bounced around random jobs, skipped college because nothing else fit, and after I became a mom over eight years ago, I was like yeah, no, I’m not going back to work. So I quit my job (and I actually liked that particular job). I wanted to raise my babies and be present.

I knew. I knew all this time that photography was supposed to be my career.

My style won’t be put in a box.

My colors are true to life. My lighting is always natural or the light I’m given (no flash—I don’t even own one). I’m a mix of candid, observational and gently guided moments. My gear is intentionally simple. Simple means I stay present, and you do too. Your photos are your legacy.

Speed Round:

I never sleep. Ever.

Frisson drives my soul and guides my inspiration.

I have two babies and they’re total opposites, but both just like me.

I am never the same but I am always myself.

I have been a beekeeper for 7 years.

I’m allergic to bees.

I love astrology. I’m a Gemini Sun, Pisces Moon, Libra Rising (who could tell?)

I create art to show my soul that I’m listening.

I’m an extroverted introvert.

I have three pet dragons.

I’m a cat person.

I have one cat, Sasha (and she's more like a dog.)

My favorite animal is a giraffe or a flamingo (they're both so beautiful and bizarre).

I want a pet crow.

My favorite color is mustard yellow.

Favorite Smell? Damp earth.

I edit your photos on my couch.

I watch Fox News, Golden Girls, or The Office while I edit.

I love Snoop Dogg’s Cabernet with chips and salsa.

I love when the sun shines through a suncatcher and a new leaf grows on a plant.

I love loud music in my car, but other loud noises overstimulate me.

My spotify playlist consists of literally everything.

My favorite movies currently are How To Train Your Dragon 1-3 or Bad Guys 1+2.

I recently started reading the Bible for the first time because...

I love playing cards, board games, puzzles…

I think pumpkins are friggin’ adorable.

I have over 200 houseplants.

I am the type of person who never has to leave home.

I love to whistle. LOVE. IT. And I am very good at whistling (like trills, bird sounds, and tunes, not the loud whistling to get someone’s attention - I can’t do that).

I love all the seasons.
