A thoughtfully guided photography experience, beautifully preserved
Your family’s photographs deserve more than a place on your phone. The Malin Portraits experience was created to preserve the meaningful details of motherhood and family life through natural digital-and-film photography and a handcrafted heirloom album.
From planning your wardrobe to designing your finished album, I take care of the details so you can remain present and enjoy this season with your family.

THE HEART OF THE EXPERIENCE
Your family’s story deserves to be held, not simply stored
Every Malin Portraits collection includes a handcrafted 8×10 heirloom album because I believe your photographs should become part of your family’s everyday life—not remain hidden in a digital folder or forgotten among thousands of images on a phone.
I take the album design off your plate, saving you the time and pressure of arranging photographs, choosing layouts, or trying to create it yourself. Once your album arrives, your family can pull it from the shelf whenever you wish, turn through the pages together, and relive this meaningful season without needing a screen.
My hope is that your album becomes a treasured part of your home now and a piece of your family history for generations to come.
I don’t need your children to be perfectly behaved or your family to pose awkwardly. I steer clear of cheesy poses and I promise not to embarrass anyone—no need to be photogenic either. Your family just needs to be yourselves.
The only thing I really need for stunning photos is for your family to show up and have a good time together…and maybe some nice natural light, too! I encourage and guide you, but in the end I document your unique family.

As a mom, I know how important it is to capture every stage of your child's life. As a Knoxville newborn photographer, I find so much joy in documenting your baby's unique personality, no matter how they choose to show up. My luxury, full-service experience ensures every detail is thoughtfully handled—from a curated selection of postpartum dresses to custom albums that let you relive these precious moments. My lifestyle newborn sessions can take place in a studio, your home, or outdoors during warmer months and can be combined with maternity or milestone sessions to beautifully document your baby's first year. If you're ready to preserve these first memories with your little one, let's connect and create something special together!

Sessions can take place outdoors, in a studio, or in the comfort of your home, with the option to include your family or keep the focus on you. My membership also offers a seamless way to document your baby's first year with newborn and milestone sessions. Let’s create timeless memories you’ll cherish forever!

"Jessica is without a doubt the best option for a photographer. The photos that she takes are such great quality, and she so artistically captures real life moments. She also makes each session fun and seamless. You will not regret booking a session with her!"

You do not need to plan everything on your own. I will provide personalized wardrobe guidance and help you choose pieces that complement one another, photograph beautifully, and feel natural to your family.
You will also have access to my client closet for mothers, babies, and young children.
What should we wear?
After your gallery selections are complete, I will thoughtfully design your album and send you a digital mock-up. One round of revisions is included. Once approved, your album will be handcrafted and delivered directly to your home.
Your finished photographs will be delivered in a private online gallery within approximately four weeks. After any required image selections are submitted, I will begin designing your heirloom album.
How does the album-design process work?
When will we receive our photographs?
After booking, you will complete a brief questionnaire and we will meet for one short creative-planning consultation.
We will discuss your vision, family personality, wardrobe, meaningful details, and the overall feeling you would like your photographs and album to have. I will help bring everything together in a way that feels cohesive, timeless, and true to your family.
Yes. Every collection includes high-resolution digital photographs.
The Signature Collection includes 30 selected images. The Complete Heirloom Collection and Bump & Baby Collection include the complete edited galleries.
I believe your family’s photographs deserve to be held, revisited, and passed down—not left forgotten on a phone or computer.
Including an album also allows me to take the design process off your plate. I arrange the photographs, create the layouts, and handle the ordering so you receive a finished heirloom without adding another project to your list.
How will we plan my session?
Are digital photographs included?
Why does every collection include an album?
What if my children do not cooperate?
Your session includes your full edited gallery, so there’s no need to choose favorites or purchase additional images afterward. I carefully select the strongest images from your session to tell the full story of your family, with galleries typically including around 75+ finished images.
