Hi, I am Mahalia Pickens.

(Muh-hay-luh)

I'm a photography-loving mama of 2 beautiful daughters. My girls may be my full time job but photography is my passion. Something about capturing a moment in time is just magic to me!

I was born and raised in The Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. I enjoy spending time with my hubby and family camping, swimming and just about anything outdoors. When I'm not on a family trip, taking photos or in the school dropoff line, I like to spend my "me time" reading psych thrillers in a cozy spot.

“"Mahalia is amazing!! We did a maternity mini-session and the pics are literally breathtaking. 😍 She was wonderful with my 3 girls (ages 7,5, and 2) and they were happy to take directions from her. We can't wait for her to do the newborn session when our little mister gets here! Thank you for the beautiful pictures to remember such an important time in our lives. Schedule a shoot with MNP Photography, I promise you will love the results! ❤"”
