About

Hi, I’m Malory, longtime documenter of real life moments.

I’ve been photographing babies, families, and humans I genuinely adore for over a decade in the greater Seattle area. What started as a camera purchased from Costco on a whim, to document my first son’s every foot wrinkle and facial expression, slowly turned into a full-blown career with an incredible, loyal client base, many of whom I’ve had the pleasure of photographing through multiple seasons of life: engagements, weddings, babies, toddlers, and now pre-teens.

Five years ago, my family and I traded city life for small-town Yelm, WA. We wanted acreage for the kids to roam and zip around on their dirt bikes, adorable livestock sightings on the way to school, and good old country living. We are surrounded by family and friends and couldn’t be happier here. Even though I now call Yelm home, I still happily serve the Seattle area and know the locations like the back of my hand.

I’ve been proudly married for 16 years to my favorite human. The man who’s given me my dream life in every way. He’s flown with me to various countries to schlep my camera gear around as I shoot weddings, always been a supporter of my late night editing sessions and, most importantly, holds down the fort in the most competent of ways while I’m out all day on photoshoots. Marriage and motherhood have completely shaped how I photograph as I know how fast the days go. I know how important the details are. I know how rare it is for mom to get a chance to be in the photos with the kids.

My photography style is honest, relaxed, and connection-driven. I’m not here to force stiff poses or perfection. I’m here for belly laughs, wind-blown hair, kids who won’t sit still, couples who never stop reaching for each other and families exactly as they are right now.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, laugh a little, and walk away with images that feel timeless and true, I’m your girl!

Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.
