Durham Documentary Photographer & Birth Doula

A family's story can be lost in one generation

You’re someone who cherishes the small, everyday moments—kitchen dance parties, mornings spent at the Durham Farmers Market, impromptu trips to the North Carolina mountains, or simply watching your children grow. You understand how quickly time passes, and how easily these stories could be lost if not captured and remembered.

Your family’s story is rich with history, love, and connection. But without care, those moments—the laughter, the quiet hugs, the traditions passed down—can fade. My work is about keeping that legacy alive, preserving the essence of your family so that current and future generations know the beauty of where they come from.

Your Story Deserves To Be Told

...At the heart of your family’s
most intimate moments

I specialize in documentary-style photography, focusing on natural, unposed moments that reflect the spirit and deep-rooted love of your family. From the first moments of life to the everyday rhythms that define your family’s world, I offer you honest images that honor the richness of your story—images you’ll be proud to pass down for generations.

My services go beyond photography; I provide holistic birth support, ensuring that you feel safe, empowered, and nurtured throughout your journey.

When a person or group has no artifacts to reconstruct their stories, things slip away across generations. People slip away.

Hi, there.

I'm Malinda, a North Carolina-based documentary photographer specializing in the preservation of family and birth stories, serving the Triangle, NC area (Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill), and beyond.

I understand that preserving your family’s legacy is about more than beautiful images. It’s about creating a visual history—one that is genuine, personal, and deeply connected to who you are. With a focus on authenticity, I’ll work with you to capture those irreplaceable moments that show the real love and connection in your family. From the joyful laughter to the quiet, reflective times, your story will be told in a way that feels true and lasting.
