For two people who don’t like to take pictures of ourselves, you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our wedding photos! Mandi captured our day perfectly and made us feel so comfortable, allowing us to completely be ourselves. She took great care to ensure she knew what was important to us ahead of time, so that the day of the wedding, she skillfully helped us get all the shots with each other and our guests. Our photos are beautiful and we couldn’t be happier!

Mandi is an ARTIST
I've had the absolute pleasure of having Mandi do several shoots for me. She is truly amazing behind that lense, and her photos turn out STUNNING every time. She's able to capture images without them looking forced. She's super easy to work with, makes you comfortable, and honestly I don't ever plan on using another photographer again. Any occasion that calls for a photoshoot, Mandi is gonna be my go-to.

Hey Ladies and Gents! I'm Mandi, owner, and Photographer behind the camera here. I'm just a person who also gets really nervous having her photo taken! I do my best to make everyone comfortable with me, which is why I always start with a get to know you call, and an engagement shoot. I ask a lot of questions about YOU! I like to find out what we have in common because the more we can nerd out together the more fun we are going to have and the more at ease you are going to be. :)
But, I guess the tables have turned and you're here to learn a little about me. I am a mom of a little boy, who is named after a Disney Prince. (Feel free to guess which one when we talk!) I originally went to school for animation and fell in love with the frame by frame storytelling art more than the actual film of it all, which brought me back to photography. I worked in the comic book business for several years, so I'm pretty nerdy in a lot of ways. Fun facts: I also do paralegal work, I'm ordained, and a notary all in the State of Maryland. My brother and I actually do micro weddings together since he is also ordained.
I love animals, I do adoption photos for SPCA and Humane Society a few times a year to help get everyone fur-ever homes. I live in an apartment with a pet duck, (also a rescue). I'm currently obsessed with Bullet Journalling to keep my life on track. I'm an open book!
