Sugar and spice and everything nice …
Honestly, that is the first thought that came to mind when I sat down to write about Mallory. She truly is sugar sweet and was so much fun to photograph! I was so excited to hear from her momma, Juli, because we had spent all last year together sharing the same table during bible study at IBC. Juli and I instantly clicked last year, along with the other awesome women at our table and I have sorely been missing her this year. It truly is such an honor, Juli, to meet and photograph Miss Mallory … so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you would simply say you are blessed to have such great girls, but I know it truly is also a testimony to wonderful parenting as well as having an awesome example in you! You should be very proud! I only hope my little crazy girl grows up to be as sincere and sweet as Mallory.
Mallory, along with being sweet, is a star soccer player and is also attending OU next year along with her older sister! She seemed a little shy at first, but I think she was just being modest about how photogenic she is! I just LOVE so many of the images we created together …
Here are ‘some’ favorites. I hope they make you smile during this difficult time for your family (read below). Praying for you!
This next photo pretty much sums her up 🙂 Even mom said, that is just “so her” … the best compliment any photographer can receive by the way!
On a side note:
This family experienced a severe tragedy over Spring Break, when Juli’s niece, Taylor lost her life in a fatal ski accident while she was on vacation with her family. Every time I’ve been around Juli and Mallory I ask questions about this precious little girl, whom I never had the opportunity to meet, who saved six lives with her organ donation. And, every time I ask, I get quite emotional. As a mother I cannot fathom what this grieving family is going through.
