About Me
Hello! My name is Jessica Malin and I'm the face behind In the Midst Photography and I would be so genuinely thrilled to be your photographer! Whatever that might be in this chapter of your life!
A little about me- Knoxville is truly home. I do life with my amazing husband Adam, which we have now been sweethearts for 10 plus years! Other things I love: coffee, naps, exploring new locations, eating at local places, meeting new people, hanging out with friends, my church, my faith, lakes-the water, Phantom of the Opera, anything lavender, chocolate, bonfires, Fall, and flowers {peonies are my favorite!}
In the Midst Photography is about creating and capturing those special moments with the ones you love. My sessions are client-centered and I encourage natural emotions, genuine moments and a heck of a good time!
The name In the Midst Photography was inspired by the scripture below.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
- Psalm 22:22
My Mission
At In the Midst Photography I make it my goal to create an experience you won’t forget. I use a mixture of actions and prompts to promote raw organic emotions- for example running, hip bumping, and dancing. I love having a good time and I want that to shine through in each photo! It is my personal goal to make you feel happy, confident, and excited during each session.
This Moment
Have you ever heard a song or smelled an aroma that takes you back to a specific time in your life? I want to help capture that moment for you so you can have it forever. From an everyday lifestyle shoot of making breakfast on Saturdays to your special elopement on a hillside and every sweet moment life has to offer in between.
Your Memories
Life is short, memories fade, but photographs give us the ability to save these moments and cherish them forever. Whether young or old, documenting each step in our life is an important endeavor. Not just for ourselves, but to share and pass on the gift of memory to others who come after us. Let me help make that memory for you.
So come and let me capture your story!
Your Experience
Your experience with In the Midst Photography will always be genuine, real and down to earth.
There are a lot of photographers out there and it can feel overwhelming to choose, so why me? Here's why! You will be cared for, listened to, celebrated with, and possibly have a new BFF by the time your session is over! My clients are my top priority and I want to make you feel like royalty! I will have you walking away from a session talking about how much fun you just had!
My passion for true connection with people pours out into my work and I believe shows through my photographs!
General Photo Sessions
My general sessions are an hour long — full of activities and adventure!
Let's climb a mountain, frolic in a field, find a new location or even go for a swim! From an urban setting in downtown Knoxville to the mountains near Max Patch in Asheville-lets go!
Rather stay cozy indoors? Let's do a lifestyle session in your home and capture the day-to-day activities that just pass us all by too quickly. Whatever your adventure, I'm up for it!

"We had the most amazing session with Jessica! This was our first couple pictures we have taken and we did not know what to expect...Honestly, a lot of this stuff can be kind of awkward when you are not comfortable taking pictures, but she made it so much fun and entertaining. I am looking forward to our next photo sessions in the future with In The Midst Photography."
"Jessica has done a wonderful job capturing our family in her photos. I am always beyond pleased with her work and would recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer. "
“There are not enough good things to say about Jessica! She is an amazingly loving person (who truly loves everyone) she always keeps you laughing! Words cannot express how incredibly gifted she is! After receiving my album I was so blown away, it didn't feel like posey shoots - it felt natural and fun. HIGHLY recommended reaching out to work with this sweet friend!! Definitely the kind of person you will meet and want to be friends with instantly”
“I had so much fun working with Jess and taking these photos! I never felt awkward or confused on any pose, and I felt like the session flew by. She was amazing at instructing Shaun and I on what to do, and that made me feel really comfortable. She made every part of the session feel natural and fun, and I think anyone would love having her as their photographer!”
"Jessica is an amazing photographer. She did a photo shoot of my daughter and her great aunt. The photos were more then I could of ever asked for. She makes the photo shoot fun for the kids and the adults. I Cant wait to use her to capture more memories of our family in the future. Thank you”
