hello! i’m manda(she/her) ☺️ i’m a traveling photographer currently living in portland, oregon. i grew up in the midwest and started traveling to explore and photograph abandoned places with friends. that led me into doing multiple solo trips with my (ESA) dog reese, and deciding to make the move out to the PNW. i currently spend most of my time working as a production/hospitality runner in the music industry, photographing bands and musicians in the studio or as their tour photographer, and doing creative trips with friends here in oregon. i’m also passionate about doing my best at living sustainably when possible, vintage clothing and decor, and trying new vegan foods!
