About Me


I grew up in central Pennsylvania during the 80s and 90s as the youngest of four, where childhood meant bike rides, snow days, and being home “by dark.”


Today, I live in Ashburn, Virginia, with my wonderful husband and son, who attends WVU..


After a 25-year career in the federal government focused on program management, budgeting, and analysis, I learned the value of organization, precision, and follow-through. Armed with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, I bring those same strengths to my photography business—from planning each session to managing timelines and delivering galleries quickly and seamlessly.


As a photographer, I combine the creativity of an artist with the organization of a seasoned professional. I specialize in high school senior portraits, professional headshots, and sports photography throughout Northern Virginia. My clients value polished, expressive images that reflect their authentic selves—and my signature fast gallery turnaround, often within 24 hours. Because great photos shouldn’t have to wait.

"I can’t say enough good things about Mandy! I absolutely LOVE how my senior photos turned out. Every single picture is so beautiful.

The whole experience was so much fun and Mandy made me feel completely comfortable and confident the entire time. She was so kind, patient, and easy to work with, and she made the session feel really natural instead of awkward or stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure you love your photos."
