Mandi is an absolute blast to work with and she creates truly stunning photographs. From our engagement photo shoot through our June 2021 wedding, Mandi consistently proved her excellence. Her prompt communication is refreshing compared to the email black hole that orbits some wedding vendors. Her attitude and energy are incredible to lean on in the moments when posing for pictures gets a little bit uncomfortable. Her quality of work is evident in every picture she takes and our apartment is overflowing with her work. We couldn't have been happier to work with Mandi and we've already told her that

Mandi is an absolutely amazing photographer! I'm by no means a pleasant-looking person, but somehow Mandi managed to make me look very presentable during a portrait session for my job. She is extremely dedicated to her profession, and it shows in her work and the finished product. Moreover, she is incredibly good with people! She knows how to build rapport and make anyone feel truly comfortable when they are in front of the camera lens. I highly recommend her services!

I had a boudoir photo shoot with Mandi, She was professional, had great ideas on poses and over made me feel very comfortable. I was blown away with how the photos turned out they were BEYOND AMAZING! Hands down the best photo experience I have ever had!

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mandi for our engagement photo shoot!
She was highly professional and responsive throughout the whole process and went beyond our expectations by visiting our location ahead of time to scout out the best spots, giving us great tips for our wardrobe after an unexpected snowfall just before our shoot, and keeping us laughing the whole time. We debated skipping engagement photos altogether; but, now after working with Mandi and seeing our fantastic photos (which we love - our friends and family are constantly asking for copies!), we’re so glad we chose to do this

Mandi is a truly amazing photographer. She goes above and beyond (like getting knee deep in the bay in a formal dress to get that perfect picture) and her turnaround time is fast. But above all, her pictures are truly stunning, and I will never go to another photographer. She has been our go-to photographer for our engagement, our wedding, family portraits, and we'll always come back! 11 out of 10 stars, will recommend over and over again!
