West Michigan Senior, Branding & Family Photographer

Hey, I’m Malorie—wife, mom, and the heart behind M. Cogar Photo LLC

 If you’re here, you’re not just looking for pictures—you want to feel something when you look back. The laughter between your kids. The quiet moments that say everything. The chaos, the connection, the love that makes life yours.

Photography found me back in high school, in a darkroom in 2004, when I watched my first roll of film come to life. That spark never left. Life got busy—kids, career, all the things—but my camera never left my hands.

Now, I balance a full-time job with this passion because it matters deeply to me. Every session is personal, relaxed, and built around what makes your story real. Whether it’s a milestone or a simple slice of everyday life, I want you to walk away with images that feel timeless and true to you.

This isn’t just photography. It’s connection, memory, and meaning—all wrapped up in a moment you’ll want to hold onto forever.

Here's What They're Saying...

 "I recently had a branding session with Malorie, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and understood exactly what I wanted. Her attention to detail and personal approach truly set her apart. The photos turned out beautifully and captured the essence of my brand perfectly.

If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in your vision, I highly recommend Malorie. I’m so pleased with the final results and can’t wait to use these images in my branding and schedule another session!!

Thank you, for your amazing work!"
