The most important thing is to wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in, and that represents your personal style. However, here are some tips that can help: Choose clothing that coordinates well together, but avoid matching outfits. Instead, opt for complementary colors and patterns. Avoid clothing with large logos or text, as they can be distracting in the photos. Consider the location and season of the shoot when choosing your outfits. For example, if you're taking photos in a park in the fall, you might want to wear warmer, earth-toned colors. Dress for the occasion. If you're taking formal portraits, you'll want to dress up more than if you're taking casual, playful photos.

Our photoshoot with Mallary was one of kind. She made us feel so comfortable. A lot of love and joy filled the room. We received our inages very quickly. Our photos came out stunning without any editing. The website was easy to select our desired photos for post-processing. We then received our edited photos quickly as well, and we were blown away with our edited images. They came out astonishing!!! We are so happy to have fallen into the perfect hands, considering we found Mallary's website through Google search. We are beyond pleased with her talent and professionalism, and we will certainly utilize her services again in the future. Thank you, Mallary!!!

It was such a fun experience working with Mallary. It was my first time doing a photoshoot and I was so nervous. But she was able to get me to relax and enjoy the shoot. She was able to capture every detail perfectly and I can't wait to share them with my friends and family! It was such a pleasure working with her.

I booked a photoshoot with Mallary for my daughter's high school graduation pics. My daughter also took pics with her 1yo son and boyfriend. Mallary was very informative on different poses and my daughter felt very comfortable during the session. We all had a good time. I would highly recommend booking with Captured by Mallary for your next photoshoot. I know I will😊

Had a wonderful time with my couples 90 shoot. She’s super professional and fun! Nothing but laughs the whole entire session. Definitely recommend her!

It’s always a pleasure working with Mallary! I’ve done 3 shoots with her thus far and it’s never a dull moment! You usually have to take a couple shots when working with photographers, but baby she always ask you what you want to listen to so she can blast the music during the session. There’s no way you will get uncomfortable. The TV screen is looking your way so you can see the photos as she shoots, and the mirrors are in full swing! You can see yourself and fix yourself at all times! She doesn’t rush! If you have poses you would like to try she will accommodate you. If not she’ll have some ready for you! Relax, she definitely got you! Hands down the BEST photographer in the city! She’s pricey, but it’s expected and she will surpass ALL your expectations i PROMISE you that. The quality is on 1000 no play play Periodtttttt‼️

Mallary was amazing. I booked her for a surprise proposal shoot for my fiancee and though she had never done anything like that before she worked seamlessly with me to pull it off. We also had our dog in the pictures and she was patient and understanding and even got a "Marry Me" sign to have in the background of our pictures. Please, if you have the opportunity to have her shoot you, book! You will not be disappointed. She made me feel extremely comfortable during a very stressful time and really captured one of the most special moments in my life. I would definitely book with her again and recommend Mallary to anyone I know in the area.

Frequently Asked questions

When should I book my family portrait sessions?

Booking your family photo session with me is an exciting step towards capturing beautiful memories with your loved ones. When it comes to scheduling, it’s important to book as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during busy seasons.

As a general rule of thumb, I recommend booking your session at least 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your desired date and time. However, if you have a specific date in mind or need to schedule your session during peak season, I suggest booking even earlier to avoid disappointment.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to schedule your session around a time when you and your family are well-rested and relaxed. This can help ensure that everyone is in a good mood and ready to have fun during the shoot.

If you’re feeling uncertain about when to schedule your session, don’t hesitate to reach out to me for guidance. I’m always happy to help you choose the best time and location for your shoot based on your needs and preferences.

Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with a stress-free and enjoyable photo session that results in beautiful, lasting memories. So go ahead and book your session as soon as you can – I can’t wait to work with you!

We will discuss your preferences and needs, and I will provide you with all the necessary information to prepare for the session.

Should we all wear the same color?

While matching outfits can look cute in some instances, it’s generally better to avoid dressing everyone in exactly the same color. Instead, choose colors that complement each other and add visual interest. For example, you might have one family member wear a patterned shirt with colors that are picked up in the accessories of other family members.
