Melissa and James // Wichita, KS Couples Photography

This photo session is very special to me, since it's my step-sis and brother-in-law, I was so excited I got the chance to take some pictures of these two during my most recent trip back to Wichita. We braved the frigid Kansas winds and I'm happy we did because these two didn't have a bad picture in the bunch. These two are seriously photogenic, and I'm not just saying that because their family, see for yourself...

First Look // Wichita Couple Photo Session

This weekend I had the lovely opportunity to do a photo session with my (step) sis and brother-in-law. I was so happy to get the opportunity to take pictures for them! They were married a month after us and (like Dave and I) were in need of updated pictures. I was so happy to be able to take them out this weekend on a warm (for January) day.

Now I can't wait to get back to my computer and edit them all! Here is a first look and I'll be posting a few more on facebook today...

I mean, model much? Such a gorgeous couple. Happy to call them my family. :)



Caitlin and Andy // Engagement Session

I was so thrilled when Caitlin and Andy asked me to take their engagement pictures at the gorgeous Barr Mansion here in Austin, TX! This place is so whimsical and gorgeous and I was thrilled to get to be a part of such an important piece of their lives. This place is so magical and I know their wedding day will be fabulous...

Aren't they the cutest? And now if I could just move into this gorgeous venue I'll be set for life. They also wrote me this sweet testimonial, I'm so thankful for lovely clients like these two.

"Mallorie was absolutely amazing to work with. She has so much artistic instinct that she was able to guide us through each pose to get the photographs we wanted without making us feel like puppets. It was natural but organized and efficient and it lead to us getting tons of shots I know we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We truly loved having Mallorie take our engagements, it was a wonderful experience and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer." ~Caitlin and Andy

Trisha and John // Couple session.

Trisha and John are newlyweds that I got the chance to photograph recently and they are such a fun couple! The two of them share a love for dancing that made my heart happy...

And Trisha sent me a sweet testimonial:

"John and I had a blast taking pictures with Mallorie! She is so incredibly sweet. We had a great time getting to know them and taking pictures. The location Mallorie found was beautiful! She was very professional and had lots of great poses in mind. We had a great time and love our pictures!"

Also, happy Small Business Saturday! I hope you get out (either to local shops or online shops) and support your favorite small businesses. My black friday special is good through Monday!

The Hejl Family.

It was such a pleasure to get to photograph Alys, Ryan, and itty bitty Bryant. The three of them are such a precious family...Bryant is only a few months old and such a little sweetheart.

And Alys wrote the most wonderful testimonial, I teared up when I read it. This is exactly what I'm all about...

"My husband and I had so much fun with Mallorie during our photo shoot. It was obvious that she was well prepared and had came out the day before and scoped out awesome places for us to take photos. I loved talking with her and getting to know her. It wasn't the typical photo shoot where the photographer tells you to pose this way and that way and sit over here, instead it was a very personal experience. Getting to know more about Mallorie really made the photo shoot worth it. I loved the places that she had us take pictures. I have had quite a few photo shoots in the past 2 years due to getting married and pregnancy and this by far was my favorite. I loved that Mallorie already had ideas in mind as to what we were going to do and captured us in the moment. She let us smile when we wanted to smile and did not get frustrated when we were talking in the middle of a shot. She went with what we were doing and this made our photos really come to life. I will look back on these pictures and will always cherish them. This was our first photo shoot as a family of three and it was the best I have had yet. I would recommend Mallorie to anyone and love her photography!" ~Alys Hejl
