Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to consider me to document your special memories.

My name is Mandy. I live in Valparaiso, Indiana with my husband, two boys and two gentlemanly dogs.

I have a wild case of ADHD and bounce from one dopamine inducing project to the next, but photography has been my constant for 15 years.

I feel alive at the beach in winter, I love Pearl Jam and I love concerts.

My favorite moments to photograph are family sessions. The bonding, the chaos and the love they provide, make my job easy. They can be messy, but they can provide so much authenticity, that is by far the best part. I love to document, not just take a photo.

I am real. I talk to myself during your session, I pause to think, I say wild things. I laugh when I’m nervous, I laugh when I am happy. I love to be awkward so you don’t have to be.

Let’s become friends!
