I’m a natural light on location photographer that loves what I am doing…living my dream, my passion of photography. I enjoy capturing newborns, infants, toddlers, kids of all ages along with seniors, families, maternity, engagements & weddings. I travel to you where you are comfortable, a favorite location, a park, downtown, wherever you would like your session to be. If you are unsure where you would like your session I have alot of great spots for pictures so just ask. Otherwise I am game for coming to meet you wherever you would like. I love shooting outdoors but if the weather is not cooperating the day of our session, there are many alternatives so no worries. There are so many options out there for locations for photo sessions, just be on the lookout. I like creative minds…they make for some great photos! I absolutely love working with people & really enjoy seeing people from my camera view. Those precious moments are captured in my camera for memories for you that last a lifetime! That is what I aim to do for you!

I also am a stay at home mom of 4 great kids. Ever since I had my first child I was obsessed with taking pictures of her. I always had my camera in my hand waiting to capture that amazing moment in her life. I then had my other daughter 15 months later & loved taking picture of them together even more. I have an airmoire full of photo albums to prove just how camera happy I was. Almost 9 years later I was blessed to have boy/girl twins. Of course I wanted to capture every little moment especially since I was finally blessed with a boy. I come from a family of 3 girls…me being the middle sister so I just really wanted a boy & I finally got him! I have been with Jason my sweetheart from college since 1997. He is a wonderful dad, fiance & friend. We have been engaged since 2005 but feel like life is wonderful as it is & with my mom passing it may take me a little longer to finally get that wedding planned. One amazing day it will all happen like it is suppose to.

My beautiful mother really believed in me to pursue this dream & my passion. She was diagnosed with colon cancer & within a year she sadly left us & went to heaven. Too quickly & right before our eyes. She did get to see some of my work after a workshop & was so proud of it. She is another reason I strive to pursue this dream.

My logo has so much meaning to it…Mandey is obviously my name, Marie is my middle name but that was also my mom’s middle name so that is why I took the Marie in honor of her. The 4 leaf clover is in honor of my 4 amazing kids that give me strength, love & hopefully will give this amazing adventure lots of LUCK. The colors are their favorite colors. Carissa pink, Catlyn purple, Jason Jr <Lil J> blue (for my first boy! YEAH!) & Jada <my baby..the youngest> teal for my favorite color!  I put alot of thought & countless hours into making sure this was just what I wanted & what I had envisioned….I would have it NO other way! I hope you like it just as much as I do! Thanks to Danella Miller for the amazing work on the logo & the blogsite!

Thanks for taking the time to check out my photography. I am honored! Live every day to the fullest because you never know what tomorrow will bring!

Have a wonderful day!
