Kind Words

If you’re a past client and haven’t left a review yet, you may do so on Google and Facebook! I’d love to hear your thoughts on working with me.

“Mallory captured EXACTLY what I wanted… THE moment. Upfront, she’s a rockstar.

From the second I reached out, every question, concern, and option was answered and vetted. No stone unturned, Mallory coordinated meeting up at the engagement location to fully scout the spot and thoroughly discussed lighting/editing styles (of which her AWESOME website/Insta has endless material to reference). I can’t highlight enough her professionalism and flexibility when all my proposal plans changed and Mallory was right there to accommodate whatever she could within her schedule. Crisis averted, she fully got behind my surprise proposal plan and seamlessly gave us space while being right there to capture the moment. The process is “stressful,” but rest assured Mallory will literally do everything in her power to make it as enjoyable and exciting as it should be.


Above all else, Mallory is good people. She’s THAT person you want capturing - what could be up to that point - the most important moment of your life (or literally just any time you want kick-butt pictures). Mallory’s end product and the experience along the way is worth every penny. If you’re looking for the full package, stop looking. You’ve found it.

— Elise & Mike

“Where do I even begin? Mallory is simply an amazing photographer who was able to make me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Opening a new business is scary, but choosing her to do my brand photography and professional headshots was the best idea. I am so grateful to her for capturing moments I couldn't even imagine. If you choose her to photograph anything for you, I can assure you won't be disappointed. Thank you TONS! I can't wait to do another shoot with you one day.”

— Halle

“We hired Mallory to shoot not one but FOUR engagement photoshoots for us. Mallory is extremely skilled as a photographer and also is an amazing person to spend time with. Mallory has taken our photos in the past, so when we decided to propose to one another, we knew that we had to have Mallory with us to capture those moments. We had an unconventional idea for our proposal shoots: we wanted to propose to one another in surprise places in the Pacific Northwest. Mallory worked with us to determine which packages would be right for both of us, and she spent three days with us, expertly capturing the beautiful, silly love we share. Each shoot was a little different from the last, and the photos capture so many different sides of our relationship. Mallory helped us find poses that felt natural for us, and she also gave us the freedom to just be ourselves. These are photos we will treasure for years to come, and we couldn't be happier with our decision.”

— Jaclyn & Davis

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Mallory for our elopement, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with how it all went! From the start she was cheerful and approachable, but also projected a professional confidence that really reassured us as we scrambled to get everything together for our big day. She got to know us and our story, talked us through our options, and helped us figure out what was really important to us - not just for photography, but the plan of the day in general. She stayed in touch as the wedding approached too, offering to help with anything we needed before our ceremony.

 On the day of, she was there early and ready to help with any last minute arrangements. Cheerful, excited, and professional throughout, it’s hard to put into words just how much we appreciated having Mallory as our photographer that day. The pictures we got back are absolutely fantastic, too! All of them are very natural and capture all details and emotions of those who could join us. Of all the decisions we had to make while planning our little wedding, choosing Mallory for our photographer was one of the best we made.”

— Mayra & Peter

“I cannot recommend Mallory enough for anyone in need of outstanding brand photography. I found myself in a last-minute bind, desperately seeking a skilled photographer who could capture the essence of my brand with finesse and creativity. Mallory not only met but exceeded all my expectations!

From the moment we connected, Mallory exuded professionalism and warmth. She took the time to have an intro call with me and listened attentively to my vision and seamlessly translated it into captivating imagery. What truly set Mallory apart was her ability to make me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

Working with Mallory was not only a professional pleasure but also an absolute joy. Her infectious enthusiasm and genuine love for her work made the entire process not only productive but also incredibly fun.

She is a true gem in her field, and I am immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Thank you, Mallory, for your outstanding talent, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to your craft. I look forward to our next collaboration!”

— Catherine Rollins, COMPASS Realty

“We chose Mallory for the happy, light-filled, and inclusive style of her photography. As an LGBTQI couple we were always going to choose a photographer who values all diversity. That shows instantly in Mallory’s webpage and work but is surprisingly rare in the wedding industry. Mallory was super organized running up to the wedding, and on the day, put us at ease, and delivered wonderful photos that we will cherish forever and blow up for the walls of our home. I love that within the gallery there is the option to buy framed versions of our photos. We are super happy and would recommend Mallory to anyone.”

— Sanya & Louise

“Mallory was great and fun to work with! She was quick to respond, and did her best to work with my tough schedule! The studio was a perfect setup with great lighting. I reached out to her for some headshots and when I arrived to our appointment, she was well prepared! Mallory had a long list of different positions and poses and had props ready to go to make sure we captured the right angles in a timely manor. Overall, it was an excellent experience and of course the photos were beyond what I had imagined. She has the magic touch and I would highly recommend her! I hope to get another opportunity to work with her in the future.”

— Jon

“Mallory was absolutely incredible! My boyfriend and I got photos done with her and she was able to squeeze us in pretty last minute and was so attentive to what we wanted to get out of the experience. We booked a 30 minute session which I was initially worried wouldn’t be enough time, but Mallory squeezed in every shot she could up until the last second and we so appreciated that! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and she was able to capture everything we dreamed of. She was also SO great at answering any questions we had, helping us with locations, suggesting outfits, and more!”

— Andria & Lake

“My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Mallory when she took our engagement photos. It was a wonderful experience and the pictures that she took are some of my absolute favorites! I will cherish them forever.

The experience was amazing from start to finish. Before the photo shoot, Mallory consulted with us regarding the types of photos that we were looking for. The photo shoot itself was such a blast. Mallory had some suggestions on locations and poses while also allowing us to be ourselves and act naturally. I love that the photos capture our relationship so perfectly and there was a variety of really sweet moments as well some fun ones.

After the shoot, Mallory sent us a sneak peek of a few select photos and we received the rest of the edited photos in just a few days. She has such a great eye and I can honestly say that I love each and every photo that she captured. I could not recommend Mallory enough! Not only is she incredibly talented and professional, but she is also such a sweet, kind human and a joy to work with.”

— Kristina & Evan

“I wish I could give Mallory more than five stars as she exceeded my expectations in every way. I hired Mallory to take candid photos of my proposal and she really nailed it. I contacted her and she was incredibly responsive and clear about how the process would work. She actually took the time to meet me at the proposal location prior to the actual day to make sure we had the locations correct. She did a great job at staying hidden during the proposal and then revealed herself afterwards for more photos. Mallory was so professional and more importantly, the photos and editing she put into the photos is truly amazing. I couldn't be happier with the shots. As a huge bonus she finished the editing incredibly fast, and provided about twice the number of photos I was expecting. I really couldn't be happier and couldn't recommend more highly. Thank you Mallory!”

— Sarah & Atticus

“If you're looking for a photographer who’s equal parts weather wizard, Photoshop genius, and all-around joy to be around, Mallory is your person.

From the very beginning, Mallory made the experience feel personalized. Her detailed questionnaire wasn’t just for show; it was clear she genuinely wanted to get to know me. Because of that, there was no awkward warm-up period during the shoot. She already had a sense of my vibe and what I was hoping for, and it showed in every photo. She captured exactly what I envisioned and, honestly, better than I imagined.

On top of her incredible talent, she’s just such a lovely human. Bubbly, easy to talk to, super responsive, and incredibly flexible. Case in point: the night before our shoot, she reached out saying there was a 5% chance of rain and recommended we move it. I trusted her instincts, and sure enough, it rained. I’m still not convinced she’s not some weather sorceress.

The day we actually shot was chaotic—a luau, a high school prom, other grads taking photos, the NCAA tournament, and a banquet were all happening on campus. But Mallory didn’t flinch. She was calm, adaptable, and had a great eye for working around the crowds and making the most of every location. Thanks to her photography skills and Photoshop magic, you’d never know dozens of people were in the background. Because of her, I have beautiful, clean shots in front of iconic spots like the Immaculata, and not a single high schooler in sight.

Her knowledge of angles, lighting, and editing is truly next-level. She’s exceptionally gifted in editing skin tones naturally, which makes a huge difference. Mallory doesn’t just take photos; she works with you to create something you’ll cherish. She’s talented, kind, professional, reasonably priced, and above all, someone who clearly cares about helping you celebrate special moments in the most beautiful way possible.
I couldn’t recommend her more—for grad photos, headshots, events, you name it. She’s the real deal.”

“My (now fiance) hired Mallory to photograph our (surprise) engagement! Not only are the photos absolutely amazing and everything we could have asked for, but she went above and beyond! Mallory set up the entire engagement and recorded it for us to keep. She did such an amazing job making us feel comfortable and was so nice! I get VERY nervous in front of the camera and this was the first time we had any professional pictures taken of us and Mallory made us feel so comfortable and guided us the entire time. I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! She is amazing and we are so grateful for her!”

— Nikki & Jacob

“Mallory did a phenomenal job on my proposal photoshoot and really went above and beyond by arriving early to the location to set up a beautiful picnic for my partner and I to arrive to. She was always quick to respond and extremely easy to work with and we couldn't be happier with the result.

She's super friendly and did a great job of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our smiles were all genuine and it really shows in our photos. She also did a fantastic job touching up the images and addressing all of the nitpicky edits and fixes that we asked for.

I'd recommend Mallory in a heartbeat to anyone who's looking for a reliable photographer. You definitely won't be disappointed.”

— Karina & Ryan

“I could not be happier that we had Mallory photograph our courthouse wedding! Her photos are gorgeous and I'm so grateful I get to have and look at them forever! Her knowledge of the area and warm demeanor made the day so calm and enjoyable when the weather and time didn't fully agree with our plans. Would absolutely recommend Mallory to anyone who wants to both beautiful photos and a great experience taking them.”

— Nicole

“Mallory is so talented and has an incredible eye! I hired her to do some branding photos for my brand update. I had some very specific requests and specific shots that I needed, and she knocked it out of the park. I couldn't be more thrilled with the photos I got. I had such a tough time narrowing down the photos I wanted, and I am planning on booking a future shoot to get some additional images.

Mallory's style and vibe is really special and very unlike the run-of-the-mill lifestyle and branding photographer. There is an artistic authenticity to her style that makes it stand apart from the typical branding photos I tend to see.

In addition to all of that, she is really chill and very easy to get along with, which is another key to a successful branding session. She worked with me from planning stages all the way through until the editing was exactly what I needed. Highly, highly recommend her if you're looking for a branding photographer with an eye for beauty and visual impact.”

“HIRE MALLORY!!!! I promise you will not be disappointed. Mallory went above and beyond for me, my husband and our families. Back story: We hired Mallory to photograph our October 2020 wedding. My father and future mother-in-law were both battling cancer and were declining fast. We wanted them to see us get married so we had an intimate backyard wedding in August 2020. We explained the situation to Mallory and she worked us into her schedule to be there to catch those precious moments we wanted with our parents. The pictures were AMAZING!!! I look at them alllllllll the time. They are memories we will cherish forever because both our parents lost their fight to cancer. Mallory also went above and beyond when our order got lost in the mail. We wanted to give pictures of my father and mother-in-law from the wedding to our family for Christmas. I had ordered them in plenty of time, but the package never came. I reached out to Mallory and she said she would handle it. And she did! She had the whole order printed and shipped again and it made it on time for Christmas.
Because of COVID our original October 2020 wedding date got pushed to October 2021. We asked Mallory if she was available for our new date and booked her right away. My husband and I decided that we wanted two photographers for the big wedding. Mallory found a second photographer, Sarah, and they both did an amazing job. Several family members and friends commented to us how professional and “invisible” they were. They took beautiful pictures without being in the way of guests or being right in front….and if they did get up front I didn’t notice (that’s how amazing they are). The pictures from the second wedding are just as amazing.
From the moment we hired Mallory she checked in on us, asked us how our parents were doing, asked if we needed anything, offered to help take on some tasks when I was stressed out right before the wedding and even offered to talk on the phone just so I could vent! I cannot put into words how much I appreciated her thinking of our family, remembering details of our lives and coming back to see how we were doing. She took an interest in us and made us feel like we were important to her. I recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. I also plan to hire her in the future….I just need an event ;) ”

“A little background, I needed a last second photographer in the San Diego area to capture my proposal to my fiancée. I wasn’t really too sure what I was doing, but I was lucky enough to find this hidden gem. Mallory was able to help make my proposal idea come to life! She took the time to go over the details, map out the location and perfect proposal spot, and just ease my nerves with a solid plan. Everything went incredibly!! The photos were amazing! My fiancée is obsessed with Mallory as a person and her work. The real sign that she did an amazing job was once our friends and family saw the photos, they kept on telling me “Michael, you nailed the proposal!” In reality what they saw was Mallory doing an incredible job! Kylie and I can’t thank her enough for capturing such a special moment for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!”

Balboa Park graduation photos in the rose garden. San Diego portrait photographer.

“Mallory has been absolutely fantastic! From the get-go Mallory was personable and prompt with her responses which was super important to me due to my timeline. Mallory is a master communicator. She provides you with time windows for when to expect a response, when you'll receive preliminary images, and when to expect the final product. All of which she completed earlier than expected. Communication is HUGE to me and Mallory went above and beyond.

As a person who doesn't always feel comfortable in my own skin, Mallory was able to help me feel at ease during the photo shoot. She made it feel fun and not forced with awkward posing. Mallory gives excellent verbal descriptions of how to pose while still making it easy and effortless. When I received my preliminary edits I was blown away with her work. I never thought it would so hard deciding which photos I wanted! Normally it’s easy because I only like a few but that was not the case.

Working with Mallory was fun, easy, and I got so many complements on the photos and her overall photography skills. I 100% recommend Mallory for all photography needs.”

— Erica

“Mallory photographed my proposal to my partner at the Torrey Pines cliffs and she was a key part in making it an incredible and beautiful experience! She helped to scout the location and plan her vantage point to leave us privacy during the proposal while still capturing the emotion on our faces. After exchanging rings, we did a set of photos along the cliffside. Mallory's warm demeanor and direction during the process made us feel totally at ease. And the photos!!! Mallory captured my partner and I as our most natural and authentic selves in such a special moment. I'm so happy I'll have these to look back on forever. We got the photos back quickly, and communication throughout the entire process was smooth. Run and book with Mallory, you will not regret it!!
Mallory is a true pro and amazing to work with and I absolutely would again in a heartbeat!”

— Autumn & Conor

“We had Mallory do a couples shoot hoping to get a photo or two to display in our home. To say that the result exceeded our expectations is an understatement. Beyond satisfied, we are thrilled with the gallery that was delivered to our inbox. Mallory is professional and personable. She made us feel at ease as she directed us around our home to get various angles and compositions. She captured the love we share and bottled it into every photograph. We were so comfortable with her process that we look photogenic! The selection process was easy and fully explained to us. It was a memorable experience and fun to do. I would highly recommend Mallory for any occasion or project. We have more photos of us as a couple on display than we expected. We enjoy them daily and they project a warm and pleasant presence in the rooms where they live. Mallory made it a wonderful experience to share as a couple and we have the pictures to prove it!”

— Bri & Steve

“I booked Mallory to photograph my graduation photos. I found her on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her style of photography. Mallory provided suggestions for locations and we decided on Balboa Park. We got so many amazing backdrops from this location selection. I got the photos back after only a week and fell in love with every photo. These are the best photos I have ever had taken of myself professionally. I highly recommend Mallory to capture your special moment. She is kind, talented, and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. During my shoot, she made me feel very comfortable. While we were shooting, there were people all over the park but Mallory is so talented she was able to make it appear like I was the only one there! If you want beautiful photos for any occasion, Mallory is the one to book!”

San Diego Creative Portrait Photography with Eryn Roberts at a local grocery store

“Working with Mallory was such an amazing experience! I first worked with her about two years ago for a couples shoot and instantly loved her energy and the final result. I've been following her on social media ever since and have become a huge fan of her work. What stands out the most to me is how authentically herself she is, and I love supporting queer, female-owned businesses.

Recently, I saw a cool shoot idea on Instagram and Mallory was the only photographer I thought of. I messaged her my ideas, and she was all in! We talked through location options and found a time that worked for both of us. The location ended up being a small grocery store (non-traditional, I know!) but it was perfect.

Hands down, this was the most fun and creative shoot I’ve ever done. I have no idea how Mallory does it, but every single photo slayed – I am OBSESSED. Sure, you can book her for weddings and she’ll absolutely kill it, but what she really excels at is bringing your creative visions to life. The lighting, the energy, the vibes – it's all giving. 10/10 recommend!”

— Eryn

"If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only give you BEAUTIFUL, quality photos but who will also make you feel your most comfortable self, make sure you choose Mallory. I have had the pleasure of being photographed twice now with Mallory - first, my fiancé found her in his search for a photographer when he surprised me with our engagement and subsequent photoshoot, and then again when I knew I would be visiting San Diego for my bachelorette trip, I absolutely had to reach out to her about doing a fun little shoot as a gift for my future husband. Mallory is the sweetest and easiest person to work with - she is so attentive and responsive and I believe that she would do quite literally anything to be there for her clients. Not only is Mallory’s work gorgeous, but her passion shines through her photos and her personality when she is shooting. She really takes the time to think of ways to be creative in different styles of shots while also taking into consideration all of the opinions of the client. As someone who struggles in front of a camera, I can confidently say that Mallory is the ultimate hype woman and will make sure you love every second of your time with her. With Mallory, you don’t just get a photographer - I have truly gained a beautiful friend. Both of my experiences have left me with not only with the most stunning photos at the end, but with memories of the most genuine smiles and laughs thanks to her. I cannot recommend Mallory Kessel Photography enough."

— Kylie

My husband and I had a San Diego courthouse wedding in June 2024. I found Mallory Kessel Photography while doing a Google search for courthouse weddings. Mallory's website gave me a warm and welcoming feeling and had the journalistic style I was looking for. I completed the questionnaire on the website and requested to be contacted for more information. Mallory called me less than 24hrs later and just like her website, her personality is friendly and professional. When my wedding plans that had been completed a month in advance fell apart three days before the wedding, I was able to remain confident that my photographer stayed steadfast. Mallory was patient, understanding, and flexible while making last minute arrangements. My wedding party was small with only four people and one shitzu. Typically, the photographer works in the background, however, I felt like Mallory was more than just the photographer - she was a part of our special day. She was a perfect addition to the party, integrating with ease, and capturing all the little special moments of an event that went by very quickly. My wedding pictures were the most important to me because I knew they would become the most looked at for the rest of my life. I will always remember taking the pictures not by Mallory but with her. The day after our wedding, we received a preview of the pictures, and the complete on-line album followed about a month later. I couldn't be happier with the final results. Mallory captured the day exactly as I hoped and added a little artistic style of her own. I would love to be able to work with her again in the future and couldn't recommend her photography services more.

— Minella & Ben

“Mallory was such an angel to work with! Thank you for all your warmth and encouragement and for being open to all ideas! You made me feel so incredibly comfortable and lucky to be apart of such an awesome experience. I would 1000% book with you again! Thank you for everything!”

— Evonne

“Mallory is AMAZING! I needed some new headshots for my website and Mallory did not disappoint. I'm very awkward in front of the camera and not a huge fan of attention, but Mallory made me feel so comfortable. It was like friends hanging out except one of them happened to have a big fancy camera.”

— Linnie

“Working with Mallory was wonderful. She was so sweet and warm. My fiancé and I felt comfortable around her from the moment we met her. She was professional in every way and she even went out of her way to research the area where we wanted to take photos. Mallory's turn around time was super quick. We had our photos within a couple of days! The pictures were absolutely stunning! My fiancé and I still look at them and fall in love with them all over again. Mallory is definitely a gem and we are so happy we found her.”

— Rachel & Dan

“I hired Mallory to be a hidden photographer and capture my surprise proposal. At the time, I had no idea that I was making the best decision I could have possibly made in setting up my proposal. Mallory went above and beyond the role of “hidden photographer” and did so much more for us. Being from out of town, I knew very little about San Diego. Over a quick phone call, Mallory suggested several great locations and helped me choose the best spot for myself and my (now) fiancé to get engaged. She even looked at restaurant menus and gave a great recommendation on where we should eat before the proposal! 

On the day of the proposal, Mallory was extremely accommodating and flexible at handling the small hiccups that came our way (dinner ran late, I decided to do a last minute change of backdrop for the proposal, etc.). She captured the moment beautifully. Neither my fiancé or I had ever done a photo shoot before, but Mallory was great at making us feel relaxed. She sent us the edited photos in less than a week and they turned out amazing - my fiancé cried when she saw them. We love showing friends and family the album and will truly cherish these for the rest of our lives. 

Throughout the whole process, Mallory was one of the most kind hearted, helpful, and genuine people I’ve ever met. She is a wonderful person, great at her job, and very easy to work with. I genuinely cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you Mallory for everything!”

— Josephine & Drew

“I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Mallory! I reached out to her to shoot portraits for my 30th birthday. From the start, she took the time to get to know me and my ideas for the shoot. At the shoot itself, she was thoughtful and helped me feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures themselves turned out amazing! I would recommend her to anyone.”

— Alex

“Mallory was amazing! I ordered a self love shoot for my friends and everyone was thrilled with how their pictures came out. Mallory made us feel comfortable — it was like we were having a photoshoot with one of our friends! She was so open to all of our ideas and extremely patient. So thankful for this experience and beautiful pictures!”

— Cassie

“My fiancé hired Mallory for his surprise proposal. She did a great job being incognito, I didn’t even notice there was a photographer until after the proposing part was done lol. She was so sweet and took the best pics of my family and friends. I absolutely loved all the pictures she took of us, especially our solo couple pictures. My fiancé and I have never taken professional pictures so we were a bit awkward and giggly but she made us feel comfortable and the final results were great. Looking back at the pictures from this day never fails to bring back all the happy emotions and I’m so grateful it was all captured. Thank you so much Mallory! I’m so glad you were a part of our special day.”

— Ann & CJ

“I loved working with Mallory! I normally dread having my photo taken but Mallory made me feel comfortable immediately and I ended up having a blast. All communication was professional yet personable and I really admire the brand Mallory has created. I would highly recommend Mallory Kessel Photography!”

— Gracie

“We had the pleasure of working with Mallory Kessel for our engagement photoshoot at the beach, and we couldn't be happier with the experience and results! Mallory was incredibly professional, yet so warm and easygoing, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot. She has a great eye for capturing the perfect moments and used the beach backdrop beautifully.

The photos came out stunning—Mallory’s attention to detail, lighting, and composition really brought our vision to life. We wanted something fun and non-cliché, and she nailed it with creative shots that felt personal and authentic to us. The entire process was smooth, from the planning to the final edits. We highly recommend Mallory for anyone looking for a talented photographer who truly cares about capturing your story in a unique and meaningful way!”

— Taru & Himanshu

“I had the opportunity to work with Mallory for promotional photos for a local business, and she was amazing! She was warm and friendly, and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. She had great suggestions for photo ideas and poses – nothing felt unnatural, and my comfort and relaxation definitely shows in the final photos (in a good way)! She has an artist's eye for detail, color, and composition. I'm in love with the photos she sent me, I look like myself, but the most glam and gorgeous version of myself. I would be thrilled to shoot with Mallory again in the future!”

— Jen

“Mallory completed a photoshoot for me and my business and the pictures turned out wonderful! Mallory was super communicative and provided a lot of guidance to prepare me for the shoot, and was also really flexible and attentive to me and my preferences for a more natural, candid shoot. She did an amazing job at capturing the essence of me and my business and I could not recommend her more highly.”

— Arielle, Sacred Space

“Mallory is just a gem of a human. She is so authentically herself from behind the camera, that it makes you perfectly at ease in front of it as the client. She absolutely nailed a self-love shoot for me during a season in my life that I wanted to capture and celebrate and I cannot wait for another reason to book with Mallory!”

— Christa

“Mallory recently took senior photos of our daughter Olivia. Olivia is not comfortable with any type of attention that is solely on her, being photographed alone being one of them. Mallory instantly made her feel comfortable. Olivia told her what setting she was looking for, and we were thrilled with the location she found. The pictures are beyond beautiful, and she captures Olivia perfectly. I can't wait to use her again for family photos down the line. Mallory you were joy to work with. Thank you!”

— Linda & Olivia

"Mallory Kessel is an amazing photographer! My fiancé and I found her on TikTok and hired her to take our engagement photos when we were in town on a vacation. Mallory was easy to communicate with, prompt in responding, helpful, and made us feel so, so, so comfortable! We had sneak peeks within days of getting our pictures taken and our gallery was ready the same weekend we got home from our trip. 1,000/10 recommend Mallory for your photography needs. I look forward to hiring her again in the future. Thanks Mallory!"

— Andrea & Ben

“Mallory did SUCH an amazing job with my headshots. She made me feel so comfortable and confident in a situation that was completely foreign to me. She completely delivered what I was envisioning but couldn't quite put into words and went above and beyond in her execution. Her playful energy immediately put me at ease and made it easy to be myself in front of a camera. Thank you Mallory!”

— Haley, Little Comet Flower Co.

“I found Mallory on TikTok and I am so thankful I did! Her communication through the process, before and after taking the photos, made me feel comfortable. During the shoot, Mallory made the experience seamless and we had a lot of fun! She is easy going and extremely talented. Photos were ready quickly and I loved her style of editing. I HIGHLY recommend Mallory to everyone!”

— Jena

“Mallory is incredibly talented!!! We LOVED all the pictures that she took of my partner and I. We were in awe when she sent us the final product, she has an incredible eye to capture the most beautiful moments. She is very good at capturing the little instants that filled with emotion. Forever thankful to have had her capturing our special day!”

— Judith & Mitch

“Mallory is one of my best friends from high school and having her take my engagement photos after seeing her build her business was an absolute dream! She made us feel so at ease and captured some incredible pictures which I will cherish for a lifetime. I can’t recommend Mallory enough for her patience and artistic abilities. She truly is an amazing photographer and has such an eye for taking photos. I love each and every one we received!”
