Mandi McDougall Lifestyle Photography | Children, Family, Maternity, Senior and Newborn Portraits | Centralia and Olympia Washington bio picture

  • Have a look around

    ...here you will find my life. I have found that the wonderful thing about a blog is that it has become a place for me to document my own life, while I document your's. 

    My name is Mandi, and it is my passion to capture life's moments. From the cry of a newly born baby, to the happy tears of an adoption story, all the way to senior portraits that won't go out of style. Behind the camera, I prefer to capture the moments and not create them. I will offer suggestions and be available to you along the way so that you get the most out of your custom portrait experience. On the other side of the lens, I simply love life. I have an amazing family, wonderful friends, and can often be seen reading or crocheting (yep, I have a little old lady down deep in my soul!)

    Take a few minutes to check out my blogsite, catch up on the goings-on of a photographer from little ol' Centralia, and look at some pictures. If you are interested in a portrait session, all the necessary information can be found at the top or the bottom of the page. Contact me via the form, at info@mandimcdougallphotography.com, or at 360.827.1609.

    Real. Life. Captivating.

Meet Madi {children’s portraits}

Saturday, June 7, 2014

I am blessed to do this job I love so much, and it really is meeting people like sweet, feisty Madi that makes it so fulfilling. Madi is a fighter. She’s been through more in her short life than a lot of us will in a lifetime. And through it all, she keeps smiling. Meeting her family, hearing their story and praying for her during her surgery and recovery was a highlight of my year. I cannot wait to see what lies in Madi’s future, because I know it will be bright.

Dujela {family portraits}

Sunday, June 1, 2014

I can’t believe it has taken me this long to share these pictures! Shame on me! I had such a fun time meeting up with this family in Olympia, and capturing not only some sweet family portraits but a few maternity pictures too!  I will be sure to share their newborn and 6 month sessions soon, cause Miss Maddie takes after her brother – both are as cute as they come!

Takeo {newborn portraits}

Saturday, May 31, 2014

Oh Mr. Takeo… what a sweetie he was! This little guy was not only a champion sleeper for me, he also gave me a handful of smiles! I love how his parents brought some sports props to incorporate, and extra adore their family pictures! Nothing will show how little your sweet pea was better than you holding them!

Charlie {1 year portraits + cake smash}

Friday, May 30, 2014

This little miss made us work for ALL of her pictures this past year, but I would say it was well worth the extra effort to get her big smiles! I can’t believe one year passes so fast, even when these adorable munchkins aren’t mine!

Rose {family portraits}

Thursday, May 29, 2014

Welp, it’s been a while. Like, 2 months! Shame on me, but the last two months of growing a baby and preparing for her arrival kept me all kinds of busy! I’m hoping to use my maternity leave to catch up on the long list of blog posts that I need to do! Without further ado, let’s get started!

This winter I was lucky enough to get to photograph this family; I have a soft spot in my heart for big families, AND for adoption/foster care, so this was a lot of fun for me. Their beautiful mama also happens to be a photographer, too, which makes doing their pictures an honor and nerve-wracking all at the same time!  Despite icky weather on and off, and someone forgetting their shoes, we managed to get some awesome pictures of the whole gang, super cute ones of each of the kids, and even a few of just mom and dad – have to remember where it all started!
