Maternity Photographer Tampa Reviews
Loved by Tampa and St. Pete moms.
Real Google reviews from Captured by Mallary clients across Tampa Bay.
I absolutely loved my maternity shoot. She made the entire experience a natural one. We didn't have to work hard to bring our real family moments into memorable portraits.
Mallary made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. She corrects your posture, hand and leg placement the entire time so every picture is great.
When I tell you I won't go to another photographer, I mean it. She took the time to really work with me and my husband and made us feel comfortable.
This was my first professional photo shoot and it could not have been more perfect. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed and even played music from my country.

Pregnancy deserves an editorial.
I'm Mallary Denson, a Black maternity photographer. Tampa and St. Pete expecting parents have trusted me with their pregnancy portraits for years. I believe pregnancy deserves the same care as a magazine cover, with lighting that flatters every skin tone.
From choosing your gown to finding the most flattering Tampa light, I handle the details so you can simply be present. What you keep are heirloom portraits you'll treasure for decades.
