Hey there! I'm Mandy. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you stay a while and look around. I'm so glad you found my little space on the web and look forward to connecting with you.
Born in South Africa and recently relocated to North West Sydney. I fall a little more in love with my new home country everyday!
I'd call myself an "eternal optimist" ~ see change as an adventure and I'm always excited to meet new people and capture their uniqueness with my lens.
welcome

I love travelling and I'm fortunate to have travelled to some of the most beautiful places in the world through this amazing job of mine! From coastal and inland towns in South Africa, to the majestic vistas of Switzerland, Italy and France. I'd pretty much call that a dream job.
The SUGAR TREe PHILOSOPHY
TIMELESS. GENUINE. JOYFUL
A photoshoot is not just about the photos that come out of it – it’s about the entire experience. Your photos are important, but first and foremost – YOU’RE important! I believe the end result of your session should be photos that capture YOU … your joy, your laughter, your relationships.
One thing you’ll learn about me is that I’m all heart. Achieving excellence and meeting your expectations with love and care are part of that. I strive for timeless, genuine, joyful images that capture your precious moments that you will be able to share with your family and friends for years to come.
I am a people person and I love meeting new families, couples, kids & babies. I am often described as warm & friendly - so I’m sure to make anyone feel comfortable and look great in front of the camera. I aim for fun, relaxed sessions that are full of joy and laughter, especially if kids are involved. This is what I bring to all my sessions, no matter what the occasion. I can’t wait to do the same for you…
God has blessed me with the opportunity to do what I love as a career, and through that He brings amazing people into my life that I have the honour of capturing with my lens.

You are an amazing photographer Mandy, thanks for our wonderful family photos! I just wanted to let you know that a friend of mine here in Switzerland said she has never seen such natural, warm photos from a shoot before. She has been looking for a photographer for years to capture her family...I said you could come on holiday and do them for her.
thanks for our wonderful family photos!
Starting the year with a family shoot at the always gorgeous Fagan Park was an absolute dream. I’ve been wanting to do a Fagan Park Family Shoot since I first visited! So when I suggested Fagan Park as an option and Monica agreed it was the perfect location, my heart did a little happy dance.[...]
