What Our Clients Say..
-
I have done 4 business projects (from film to photography) with Mandi and let’s just say I am never going to anyone else. Your vision becomes her vision, and she will execute well beyond what you could imagine.

My experience with B.A.B.E productions, LLC was amazing! Mandisha was professional, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire experience! She responded promptly to my messages, was supportive, listened to my vision and goals for my photoshoot session, and executed it to perfection!
Kayla Jeanty | IDELLA Candles

Mandi is unmatched with talent she has and the environment she curates for you. The whole shoot was comfortable. She has a great skill in immediately getting you in a comfort zone so your poses don't look stiff. Its remarkable. Make sure you communicate your likes and dislikes with lighting, poses, and edits. All she can do is follow your vision. I’d recommend Mandi 10 times out of 10.
