Hello, I'm Mandee
nATURAL lIGHT pHOTOGRAPHER
Hi there! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm a Pittsburgh-based natural light photographer with a heart for capturing real, authentic moments. From golden hour laughs to quiet, magical scenes, I love creating photos that tell a story...your story.
Photography has been a love of mine since I was little. With a camera in hand and a big imagination, I quickly learned how powerful a photo can be. With some encouragement from family and friends (and a little leap of faith), I turned that passion into this beautiful little side business.
I specialize in outdoor photography: families, seniors, kids, newborns, weddings, birthdays, and everything in between. Whether you're looking for playful smiles or dreamy, light-filled images, I'm here to make the experience fun, easy, and memorable.
Let’s create something magical together!
My approach
My approach to photography is all about capturing the magic in real moment: the genuine smiles, the spontaneous laughter, and the little glances that often say the most. I love working with natural light and outdoor settings to create a relaxed, playful atmosphere where you can simply be yourself. While most of my sessions happen under the open sky, I’m always happy to bring the magic indoors when that’s what feels right for you. Wherever we are, my goal is to tell your story in the most beautiful, authentic way possible.
Kind words from
