Hi, I'm Mandy

I'm a boudoir & beauty photographer located in Southern California. 

orange-county-boudoir-photographer

I believe boudoir photography has the power to ignite and inspire a whole new version of a woman. 

I'm also a wife and a mom. 

I'll be using this little blog here to showcase my recent work & projects, client testimonials, while sometimes even diving into my crazy life as a working mom.
