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...

I post some pictures that you won't see unless you like the page and I would love to have you! Plus, I'll be traveling and that way you can keep up with how to get a session when I'm in your city.

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. :)



J's family photo session // Austin, TX

I am so happy that I got to photograph J and her family before I left town! They are such a sweet bunch and their daughter is the most polite 3 year old, maybe ever. The love they have for one another really shows through in these pictures...

And then Grandma and Great Grandma showed up and made it 10x more adorable...

 

"We loved working with Mallorie! We had only had family photos taken once before, so we were a bit nervous about what to do, where to stand, etc. Mallorie gave us direction without being pushy, and she was fantastic with our two year old! The shoot went wonderfully, and the photos turned out even better. I'm so very happy with the photos that she shot, and everyone that has seen them has commented on how beautiful they were!"  ~ohheyitsj

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

Family Photo Session // The Skanderups.

I had a wonderful time photographing the beautiful Skanderup family. They just moved here all the way from Canada and are enjoying the warm Austin weather, can you blame them? Some of you might know their sister-in-law Heather, she got us connected and I'm so glad she did!

Oh and don't get me started on their cutie little boy...I could just eat those cheeks up. And those baby blues! Too much...
