PHILOSOPHY

Picture this: you are sitting with your teenager as they are about to take off for college. You have misty eyes as they are about to walk into their dorm, and you say your goodbyes. You go back to the car, and take out an album. On each page is a cherished memory from every year that your child has lived, captured and printed for you to share with your partner. That is where we come in: taking family photos, for us, is purposeful and personal. The most joyful memories that would normally exist in a memory are soon to be captured beautifully for your family to cherish for generations. We look forward to meeting your family, and bringing these moments to life!

Mandelette did our family portraits and they were fantastically done and so quick! They were able to get so many smiles from my son that were so natural. There were so many great shots I had trouble deciding which to use!

"Mandelette did a fantastic job catching those ranges of emotions from all the little ones.."

Mandelette took our family photos for us and with our extended family. Rachel prepared us ahead of time with ideas for things to bring to keep kids entertained and to keep the their attention while shooting. In the end, kids are going to be how they are going to be, and the Mandelette team did a fantastic job catching those ranges of emotions from all the little ones- tears, fear, and pure joy. The shots are truly spot on for our normal day-to-day rollercoaster. Parents cherish these moments, and I am so pleased to now have them captured in awesome photos.

"Mandelette got our crying son to briefly part his lips and smile for the photos.."

Thank you for for capturing the happiness of our lives. You’ve made such a special day even better. Both myself and my husband’s family enjoyed working with you so much. I’m also so impressed that you got our crying son to briefly part his lips and smile for the photos! Lol. You are simply amazing. Thank you so much! Our photos are absolutely beautiful.
