welcome to life in bloom

Hi! I am so happy you're here! I would love the opportunity to work with you! First things first, you can call me Mal! I am a natural light photographer, specializing in newborn and lifestyle family portraits in my studio and outdoors in lovely Iowa.

 

I'm so lucky to have found one hilarious, sweet man and we're raising three amazing babies out on the farm! Max (14) Bella (10) and our wild little Isla Cole (almost 4 going on 14)

​​

My passion for photography began when I laid eyes on my sweet Max. I've set my focus on raising my family and running my business. The absolute best part of this job is meeting families and helping them to preserve their precious memories all while making new friends along the way. At the end of the day I have one goal - to preserve this season for you. The one that you’re living today, because motherhood is an ever changing journey.

 

When I'm not working I am enjoying our quiet country life. You can find us barefoot in the yard, chasing kids and our new golden retriever Dug. I love watching gorgeous sunsets, grabbing wild flowers from the ditch, and cruising around country roads. I love my family more than anything and capturing real moments between yours would be a dream.

​

Let’s connect and create something meaningful, timeless, and honestly beautiful, together.
