Mandy is the best there is! She’s so dedicated and passionate about her work and it shows. She’s a joy to work with and definitely makes the experience of a photoshoot fun, even for the babies and guys!! I wish I would have found her before my wedding day but I’ll never have a photo shoot without her ever again. She will be my forever photographer! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Mandy is unbelievable with babies and dogs alike, and somehow managed to keep the attention of our 11 month old while also wrangling our spunky and excitable goldendoodle. ....Our photos truly captured the energy of our time in Coronado, while also showcasing Mandy's brilliant eye for light and angles. If you're looking for a San Diego-area photographer, Mandy is the clear choice!

The Emmons
Mandy was amazing! Her work is beautiful, light and airy and she was so easy and professional to work with. Her patience and fun personality made all the difference in our session with our 2 year old and we felt comfortable and were able to enjoy ourselves, and the moments she captured were incredible! She was also fast in getting edited images returned to us even around a short timeline with the holidays. I would recommend her highly to anyone. Thank you, Mandy! We are forever grateful!
