  • 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.

Craig {family beach portraits}

Saturday, March 8, 2014

I’ve known this family for a loooong time – Kristin has been doing my hair for almost 15 years, and back when Brycen was shorter than me (although I can’t claim my taller-ness lasted awful long) I babysat him! We had a blast at the beach for these pictures, their willingness to relax and the genuine nature of their interactions (and goofiness!) really made my job easy. I always enjoy doing beach portraits, and I am excited to get a few chances to again this spring/summer! If you are interested, send me a message!

Crew {newborn portraits}

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

This sweet baby boy and his family came to visit when he was just a little over a week old, and we capture the most beautiful portraits of them! I can never get enough of newborns. Sigh. The sweet smell, all the funny noises they make, the way they like to curl up. I love including family in newborn portraits, those bond form fast and last a lifetime!

Hoxie {couple session}

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

These two adorable lovebirds were the sweet people who let me borrow their vintage truck for the Fall Farm mini sessions. It was great to hang out with them on a sunny day at one of my favorite locations.

Fall Farm Mini Sessions {family}

Monday, March 3, 2014

This past fall I was so incredibly lucky to do family mini sessions at the beautiful Country and Lace farm/wedding venue. Talk about a picture-perfect location for family snuggles, tire swing fun – and the vintage, restored truck we got to use was the icing on top!

Day 28 {LANDON in FEBRUARY} 2014

Friday, February 28, 2014

{Four years ago I decided to take at least one picture a day of Landon, for the whole month of February in celebration of his birth month. I borrowed this idea from Kerianne Brown, a fantastic photographer. I have done it for three years now, and the compilation of pictures has become one of my most cherished possessions.}

Today we took a little trip with Grandma to the hospital to see Delaney. All is well, she was just a stinker last time around so we needed a few more images. (She wasn’t much better this time around!) You were so very well behaved and patient, and I think you even enjoyed getting to see her move around on the screen. You were most impressed with her feet, which she had positioned right in front of her face! I am very excited for you to be a big brother – you already talk about how you are excited to give her a bath and feed her, and help out (as long as no one mentions changing her diaper – that you’ve made it clear you are NOT helping with!) I know that without my brothers and sister, I would be lost, and I hope that you and Delaney have that same sort of relationship someday.
