I wanted to make an official post regarding my photography services for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. 🤍

For the foreseeable future, I will not be taking on any additional engagement sessions or weddings. At this point, 2028 would be the earliest possibility for me to consider returning to them.

Right now, I’m in a very full and beautiful season of raising our little boy, and he keeps my husband and me on our toes! 🥹 Being a mom has shifted my perspective on where my time and energy need to go, and I want to be intentional about making sure I’m present for the years that I know I’ll never get back.

I’ll also be stepping back from regular sessions for the time being, with the exception of occasional pop-up sessions.

Photography has changed quite a bit over the years, and the competition in our county is strong. I’ve realized that I’m simply not in a season where I want to compete for clients, compare myself to other photographers, or feel like I have to constantly keep up. That has never been what photography was about for me.

I truly believe there is room for so many talented photographers, and I want to be able to cheer on and support the people in this industry rather than view them as competition. We all have different styles, strengths, and gifts, and I think that’s something worth celebrating. 🤍

Most importantly, I don’t want to sacrifice more and more time away from my family just to feel like I need to “keep up.” My family comes first, and right now, I’m choosing to honor that.

With that being said, if you’d like to schedule a **fall or Christmas family session, maternity session, or bo***ir session** for the remainder of 2026, please feel free to message me! 🫶🏻

Thank you to everyone who has supported my photography over the years, trusted me with your memories, recommended me to your friends and family, and allowed me to be part of so many special seasons of your lives. I’m incredibly grateful. 🤍

Much love,
Malarie 🫶🏻

I wanted to kindly address something that has come up quite a bit over the past few months regarding photography sessions. I’m sharing this with a genuine heart because I know most people don’t mean any harm when they ask.

My photography services are not free. The only exceptions are when I specifically advertise free sessions, model calls, giveaways, or charity events. When I offer free sessions or model calls, they're typically to build my portfolio or create content, and participants agree to allow me to use their images for my business.

Please don't get me wrong—I love a good bargain, and I'm always open to discussing trades! If you have a service you'd like to exchange for a photography session, feel free to reach out. I truly enjoy supporting other small businesses and helping one another when it makes sense.

Photography is how I help provide for my family, just like hairstylists, nail technicians, mechanics, restaurants, and countless other professionals who charge for their time and expertise. My pricing isn't based on greed or "price gouging." It's based on the reality of running a business.

Behind every session are expenses that most people don't see: professional camera equipment, lenses, maintenance and replacements, editing software, props, travel, fuel, insurance, studio rentals, continuing education, and so much more. Like any small business owner, a large portion of what I earn goes right back into my business so I can continue providing the best experience possible.

I truly appreciate every person who supports my work, recommends me, shares my posts, and chooses me to capture their memories. Your support means more than you know.

With that being said, I kindly ask that you please don't message me expecting a free session. While I wish I could say yes to everyone, I simply can't afford to work for free and still provide for my family.

Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support my small business. It truly means the world to me. 🫶🏻

True love never gives up. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres.

Family photos are more than pictures hanging on a wall. They're memories preserved for future generations. They're proof of love, connection, laughter, and the little moments that often become the ones we miss most.

If you've been putting off family photos because you're waiting for the "perfect time," consider this your reminder: your family is worthy of being documented exactly as you are right now.📸💛
