Loved having my daughter's Senior pictures taken by Mandy. It was easy to set up and communicate primarily via text. We wanted urban locations as opposed to natural settings and she had great places in close proximity to each other that met our desires. Like the previous reviewer, I had a shot I saw on her facebook page that I wanted and she did it, it is my favorite picture! She was fantastic at making sure that the hair always looked good and having it on one side, or both, or back- whatever made the shot the best. Mandy made it fun and easy and everything flowed and felt natural. I would not hesitate to use her again for any type of photo shoot. read more

I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am about our experience and photos! I was so nervous that our boys (12&14) wouldn't cooperate and would complain the whole time! Mandy was fast (but took her time to make sure everyone and everything looked just right) and knew exactly what she wanted to do! She took her expertise and our input and created memories that we can cherish forever! The boys were even like, "wow! That was fun! I'd do it again!" Her prices are great but I would do it all again no matter the cost!!! She's that good! Mandy is super sweet, but knows how to direct you to look your best! I recommend her to EVERYONE I know! read more

Mandy took my daughter's senior pictures. She was amazing. I have never had a photographer that was so easy to work with. She made my daughter the star of the show. My daughter wanted to take photos in two different locations and Mandy was more than accomidating. My daughter also wanting to take a few pictures with the family dog and Mandy did not mind at all. I had seen a picture that was on her website that I wanted for my daughter and she made sure to do it. The photos turned out beyond amazing. If anyone needs a photographer, this amazing lady is the right choice. read more

We chose Mandy for our Broken Bow (OK) Wedding in Oct 2020, and she was AMAZING!! Great communication in the beginning to delivery of photos so timely. I couldn't believe I had 500+ photos all within 3 weeks of the wedding. Mandy is so easy to work with, personable and has an awesome eye for the most beautiful poses. We have received so many compliments on how gorgeous our photos are.We have had experience with many family photographers across the country and even Mexico, and Mandy was by far the VERY BEST!! You will not go wrong choosing Mandy!! read more

We had family pictures taken by Mandy Ballard photography. We were coming to Arkansas from Ohio and found her on Yelp. There were 16 of us, which seemed like a large group to us, but she was very efficient, friendly, and a very good communicator throughout the process. The pictures did not disappoint us. She took many combinations of people and family units and the outside backgrounds were perfect. She is very professional. We are so fortunate to have found her. We can now enjoy and treasure beautiful pictures! Thanks Mandy!! read more

She was obviously very experienced and was great at guiding poses ("move your left hand up a little," "tilt your chin down," etc..) Along with posed photos, she was also great at candid shots during the reception and ceremony! She was able to work quickly and efficiently, so not all of our time was spent taking photos. We LOVE our wedding photos!! They look like they could be magazine covers, simply breathtaking. We were so lucky to have found Mandy Ballard Photography! read more

I recently took new family photos with Mandy. She is AMAZING. I love all of the pictures she sent for proofing. I had to buy all of them because I could not pick my favorites. Mandy was easy to book, she suggested the perfect place for pictures, she captured the perfect lighting in all of the pictures, she gave great direction for poses, and she was able to make the baby smile! I highly suggest booking Mandy! I will treasure these photos forever! read more

When our session was just beginning (we have a rowdy 2 and 4 year old boy) it began to mist and rain and I was just sure we wouldn't be able to get good pictures but she worked her magic and after 30 mins, turns out we hadnsome awesome pictures of all of us to put on the wall. I would say she's fast, really knows her stuff and gets down to business. I will hire her again! She got the proofs to me so fast!! read more
