  • I would give u limited stars if I could! Mandy went above and beyond for our maternity shoot and newborn family shoot. The photos that she produces are above any expectations. They are so unique and absolutely breathtaking. She is so talented and produces such high quality beautiful photos. We can’t wait for our next photoshoot with Mandy.

  • Mandy was great to work with. She was easy to communicate with from engagement to delivery. The online platform she uses is simple to use. Her years in the industry show in the seamlessness and beauty of her work.

    Angel Dixon

  • Mandy interpreted my vision for my pregnancy photoshoot beautifully. I showed her visual references for lighting / styling and angling and she executed flawlessly. I wanted some photos that were only covered by a light cloth and Mandy made me feel relaxed and comfortable (necessary when you’re scantily clad)! Highly recommend her to other women who want to have some beautiful memories of their pregnancy.

    Remie Plehan

  • We were fortunate enough for Mandy to take our maternity photos at The Spit, Main Beach, Gold Coast. As two incredibly non-photogenic people Mandy had a magical way of easing our minds from the very first conversation. Mandy gave us all the information we needed to prepare, asked all the right questions to understand our desires and made us feel honestly like family with her beautiful nature. We were so SO happy with the images that we reconnected with Mandy to take our newborn photos of our little one at 2 weeks old - for which she made so incredibly easy for us as new parents; even coming to us at home. All the photos from both sessions were far beyond our wildest expectations! Mandy delivered a quick turnaround, heaps of photos in the gallery and perfectly edited images. We cannot recommend Mandy more highly! We are, and will continue to be, returning clients of Mandy Martin Photography!

    Kate Hall

  • Mandy is incredible at what she does! She effortlessly facilitates the photography sessions efficiently, even with larger groups. We have continued to return to Mandy Martin Photography for family photoshoots as well as professional agency photoshoots. Flawless and we could not be happier. Thank you for all your hours of assistance!
