Sharing a little piece of my heart today. 🤍 Last year on April 17th, I was admitted to the hospital at 23 weeks 6 days pregnant, having just had a perinatologist just tell me they weren’t confident my baby would make it to the next week. I was terrified but knew with no doubt in my mind it was what I needed to do to give my baby the best chance of making it. My husband Jared rushed over to the hospital and when he got to my room he handed me a rose from our backyard that wasn’t quite blooming yet. It was a gift that represented our son, who was going to be born before he was ready to enter the world, but once he was here would thrive just like the bud would turn into a beautiful flower. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After 6 weeks in the hospital, Gatlin Arc was born, 10 weeks early. Not even 2 pounds. Ever since he was born and throughout his stay in the NICU - I called him bud, not realizing the significance or parallel with the gift Jared gave me. It didn’t hit me until many weeks later, but now it is even more of a meaningful nickname I have for him. My little bud, the special boy who made me a mama. I love you more than you’ll ever know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Excited to share some of my favorites from a recent family session we did with the talented @ericastreelman. Thank you for these memories! 
You can’t go wrong with a sparkly pair or @badgleymischka heels on your wedding day ✨ 
On the blog today I am sharing this newborn session that holds a very special place in my heart. 🤍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Brittney and I went to college together and reconnected over social media when I shared our son, Gatlin’s story last year. Brittney became pregnant with twins soon after and started having some complications with her precious girls as well. We connected over our similar journies and cheered each other on through it all! Brittany & Ryan’s girls were born at 24 weeks gestation and spent many days in the NICU, but they are home now and thriving! If you want to read more about their journey and see some of my favorite images from their session head on over to my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scanned by @goodmanfilmlab

CLOSED // Today is LAUNCH DAY!!! I am very excited to announce two projects I’ve been working on for the past few months. 1️⃣ First, I added a SHOP to my website! I created it for both photographers and also couples getting married. Photographers, you’ll find details on the services I offer as far as education and mentor sessions go. And couples, there are multiple helpful resources for you if you are planning a wedding, including a couple free downloads - so be sure to take a look! 2️⃣ Second announcement is that I completely redesigned my website homepage and added a few new features! Head on over to www.mallorydawn.com to see what I’ve been working on! Visit my site on a laptop or desktop to get the full redesign experience but mobile of course works as well! Now to celebrate the launch I am doing a special GIVEAWAY! The winner will be able to choose between two brand new items in my shop. The first is The Mallory Dawn Wedding Planning Guide. This downloadable PDF is perfect for anyone planning a wedding who values photography. In this guide, I share a collection of secrets and tips I have learned over the years that will hopefully make every couple's wedding day as smooth and special as possible. If the selected winner is a photographer, you may choose a photography portfolio review. In this one-hour portfolio review, I will take a look at your entire online presence: website, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., and identify areas of improvement and potential growth.
