Snippets about me!

 

It's so nice to meet you

Casual portrait series in black top and light blue pants against white background.

Hi friends!! My name is Malia and I am a recent graduate from North Carolina State University! In the last four years, I have built my photography from the ground up, from teaching myself how to use a camera, to building a business. I started small, taking pictures of scenery, friends, animals and taking advantage of any event opportunity. Over time, I found a love for portraits and capturing the love, joy, and success of people like you ! Destination Wedding Photography is my ultimate dream, but for now, I am blessed to be a part of whatever season you're in!

Faith in Photography

my business simply would not be what it is without jesus.

My life changed the day I chose to follow jesus and i cannot capture his creation without standing in awe of the creator. that being said, I want to use my business to bring glory to his name. whether you are a believer or not, I'd love to work with you, but know that this is my purpose and motivation behind what I do <3

"Malia created a comfortable and fun environment by taking time to capture both silly and lighthearted moments during the photoshoot. In moments when I wasn't sure how to pose or what to do, she instantly took charge to make the most out of the time we had available."
