Hey y’all, my name is Mandi!

I didn't get my first "real" camera until around 2016 when I left for New Zealand while debating dropping out of college or taking a gap year. I messed around with settings and photographed all of the neat landscapes. When I came back, a friend asked me to photograph her senior pictures and the rest was history. Those seniors turned into couples and those couples turned into weddings. My new goal is to go to all of the places my late uncle (a nature photographer and bear follower) traveled to with his old film camera and continue the legacy. 

Throwing it back to one of the first weddings I ever second shot, I remember seeing how in love the couple was. I had never met them before, I was really just being a sponge and soaking up alllllllll of the details. From that moment forward, my bar for my future spouse was through the roof and it's only gotten higher as I see more and more lovers. 

I’m a very professional, sarcastic person who has an innate ability to make anyone feel comfortable and supported.

I love a hidden photograph- like I'm seeing something that I'm not supposed to, think, through a door or window, like my camera is watching from around a corner. Like the office but without the awkward facial expressions! Hands off, laid back, go with the flow and cinematic!

I'm not into stiff poses or awkward encounters, I feel like your love is best shown on Sunday mornings making breakfast together and my job is to bring that side of you out.

Now onto photos...
