Testimonials

Well an experience like no other..something magical, uplifting and incredible journey to unleashing a goddess within all courtesy of Mandi Lynn of Mojo Studios (the creator of amazing & inspirational memories)

I found the whole experience to be amazing. I felt supported and encouraged through out and my ideas/wishes were definitely heard. That day was truly life changing - I had never felt more beautiful than when I posing and viewing my gorgeous images. The prints, memories and lessons I learnt are something I will cherish forever!

"I could write an entire essay on my experience at A La Mojo Studios. Historically, I've always found it hard to like photos of myself. I'll often judge my looks or compare my body to others, and I feel like a deer in headlights when asked to pose for a photo. I'd also never done a professional shoot before, so signing up for one with Mandi was definitely a push out of my comfort zone. As it turned out, I had no reason to be anxious or afraid. Mandi and Craig are wonderfully warm human beings. I loved spending a day at their home talking about life and the different journeys we're all on. Mandi's sunny personality put me entirely at ease, to the point that I even felt confident enough to shoot some boudoir photos (I never thought that would happen in a million years!). Mandi is a creative genius with an uncanny knack for finding amazing shots, and she makes posing for photos feel easy and fun. One of my favourite shots from the shoot was taken as I was rolling around on a bed like a mad woman, giggling at myself - I still cannot comprehend how she got such a stunning photo from that! I left the shoot with a small collection of beautiful photos of myself that make me so joyous to look at, and for once I'm not insecure about sharing them around"

Thanks again so much. I know I've said thanks a lot, but I truly feel so grateful and blessed that I came across your booth at the Women's Expo. It was meant to be(:
Thank you for your kind words and your guidance and your listening ear - I keep the worksheets you gave me on a shelf near my bed so I can look at them every morning and remember to be kind and understanding towards myself even when I don't feel the greatest. It was such a pleasure to meet you and Craig and I hope to see you again sometime in the future."

Whilst a little apprehensive at first, I embraced my day and gave Mandi free licence to experiment with what she thought would work – colours, curls and location suggestions.
Mandi was a delight to work with and the day was a fun and exciting experience. I felt comfortable, relaxed and with a sprinkling of sass took my confidence and worked it.
The results - I was so delighted with how beautiful the images were, and the husband well he was just was blown away. I cant thank you enough Mandi and Craig.

"My makeover photo shoot with Mandi Lynn was all I had hoped for and so much more. After a thoughtful preshoot consultation, complete with Pintrest dream board reviewing, Mandi had crafted an idea of what my dream photo shoot would look like and absolutely delivered on all my hopes and dreams! We accomplished professional head shots, beautiful nature shots, and boudoir! My morning of hair and makeup pampering, rummaging through the studio's wardrobe, and then getting expertly coached on how to best flaunt my body made this whole experience so special. Mandi Lynn is a master of her craft and guiding women to feel beautiful, empowered, and full of mojo through photography is absolutely her super power. This is exactly the gift I needed to give to myself, and I don't know a single woman I wouldn't recommend this to. Thank you so much Mandi! I will cherish this experience and love these photos for the rest of my life!"

"This photo has now become my most ‘liked’ post on Facebook! My friends and family were positively stunned by it! And I love it because it feels so genuine and natural! Thanks again Mandi!"

"I had such a wonderful time hunkering down for the winter with you guys! I look at my photos every single day and get energized by what I see! Thank you so much for just being you and helping me see me."

I guess all I can say that my experience with A La Mojo Studios was Majikal. With one foot planted firmly in Fairy-dust, I was able to revoke the Siren I let dampen down deep within myself. My boudoir experience was so very empowering that I still cannot believe I was brave and courageous enough to do that - and something special for me and my partner to hold forever.
Nā mihi nui ki ā körua mö toū aroha tino manaaki.

I first heard of Mandi Lynn La Mojo Photography when I saw pics on Facebook of a friends daughters that looked so magical. I knew that one day I wanted my daughters to have pics taken like this.
It dawned on me last month that the time was now before my girls were suddenly grown and had left home. I wanted pics representing us in this moment in time.

Mandi went over and beyond my expectations. She even managed to get a horse for my horse mad daughter that usually avoids the camera but was made to feel so comfortable and beautiful by Mandi and she shone like never before. All my friends and family are amazed at her transformation. I love all the pics of my daughters as they have turned out stunning. My girls not only love the photos but love the experience Mandi created for them on the day. It will forever be a beautiful memory.

Thank you so much Mandi and Craig from Joanne, Bethany and Jeannie

"At a stage in life wanting to step outside my comfort zone, be more confident and try new things never in a million years did I think I could ever do anything like this. Contact from Craig was excellent and organizing a booking was made so easy. Mandi made me feel very comfortable from the moment I stepped in the door, so easy to talk too and calmed my nerves! She is superb at what she does, finding just the right angles to make you look super. I couldn’t believe the results I wanted them all! I came out feeling so confident and amazing. A super fun and exhilarating morning, even being frozen in the 5deg morning sun was invigorating! I absolutely love my photos and will proudly display them on the wall. I recommend to all women to go and do it, even if you think you’ll be nervous you will soon feel very at ease and have a wonderful fun time making some awesome memories. Thanks so much"

There is something in Mandi Lynn's skills that bring out something in me that I don't see in a mirror

Friendly, warm, inviting and fun. Such a fun morning getting creative.

Thank you Mandi and Craig for such a professional job.

"I felt so comfortable and welcomed with Mandi. We had so much fun during the shoot - laughing the whole day. I'd never done anything like it but finished the day feeling so confident, beautiful and inspired. I can't wait to get my prints! Mandi is such a warm person, and an absolute genius behind the camera. Her vision, talent and creativity with her photography is magical. Thank you Mandi and Craig for an incredible day"

A big thank you to Mandi, Ashley and Craig for making my day such a special one. My photo shoot was another step in the Josie journey and what a surreal experience it was. I've never been one to like having my photo taken, or to be the centre of attention so I knew having a whole day that would be all about me captured by a camera would be a challenge... and it was, but I was so pleased I did it. Mandi and co welcomed me like family and made me comfortable throughout the entire day. Now, not only do I have some gorgeous photos to look back on but I also have the memory of the day where I took a giant leap out of my comfort zone. If I can thrive in a photo shoot I can do anything!

When my finished photos arrived, my first thought was, "is this really me?". I think that today we're so used to having snapshots taken of us, by ourselves or friends that we forget that a "portrait", is something to be valued,treasured and proudly shown. Right from the start of my portrait session with Mandi, I was made to feel special, beautiful and I appreciated the time that was taken to explore the "me". It was a pampering day, a special day and an opportunity to explore the "beautiful me".

In my favourite shot, I'm looking out of the window, contemplating the winter scene, and taking a restful moment for thought. I feel serene, and I keep this portrait near my bed, where I can conjure up the memory of a calm and stress free moment.

We loved the outdoor photo session at Mandi’s studio, something that we had in our list of things to do.

Our little Emilia surely enjoyed her time she had with the bunny & cats (Mojo & Mews) and also running around them. There is something magical about Mandi and her Place that you will make you feel quiet relaxed and fulfilled. A memorable moment to cherish!

Mandi is a beautiful spirit with a lovely gift. She has the ability to connect with you in a way that makes you feel safe and special. It allows you to fully relax and let your inner light shine. Then she glides in and captures the light on film with breathtaking results. THANK YOU.

I have recently come back from a short trip north to say goodbye to family and friends before my big overseas trip. I took my photos with me to show people. My father and grandmother did not believe it was me. My hairdresser and friends were stunned and said they were lovely.
Thank you so much for the gift you have given me…photos I can look at without cringing. It really does mean a lot.

OMG I just opened the Mojo Box after dinner and the kids were in bed. I cried. They are beautiful, every single shot. Way better than I'd ever had expected as the colours are so rich. I even look beautiful! My husband got a bit weepy too and said 'I wish we'd have gone for the extra six photos now as I had no idea that they'd look like this, I've never seen photos this good'

What I loved about the images were that they were no make-up/no filters and showed Graces inner beauty. You captured her strength of character too ❤

What Grace loved was seeing the images of herself and being wowed by the beautiful, strong young woman looking back at her. She has been overwhelmed with positive comments and encouragement when she posted them on social media and says this experience has given her so much confidence – something she has struggled with a lot.

From the moment Crystal, my daughter and I walked through the doors it was like stepping into another world where nothing else mattered. Mandi and Craig, made us feel very welcome and relaxed. Mandi did and amazing job on our makeup and hair, and after feeling very pampered, the dress ups began, lots of fun, and laughter and dressing up, feeling confident and pretty as will as having the best memorable time with Crystal.
Thank you Mandi and Craig we loved the whole day

Mandi Lynn makes you feel and look your best ever!
We only needed one super-photo and she got it!

Sorry it has taken me so long to write this email. I guess I was just waiting for the words to come. I wanted to write to you and let you know how you changed my world in Oct last year. You see, I have had Graves disease for many years. Without over explaining it's basically a very over active thyroid. What it meant was being very thin for a long time and pretty much everyone thinking I had some crazy eating disorder, which I did not. Over the last year or so I have put on weight and although I now look 'normal' in my minds eye I did not. I felt like I was living in a body that was not mine.
Your amazing photo shoot changed that for me. You made me feel beautiful and brave and for the first time in a life time, confident to let it all show. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing work you do for women out there. You will never know what a difference you have made.
Thank you again and keep up the sensational work!

Our experience with A La Mojo was so fun & relaxed. Mandi has a really gift & is so natural about it. She quickly tapped into our fun-loving side & they show through the snaps. Craig has been a pleasure to deal with & communication is on point once your photo shoot is done. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Mandi & Craig

"Bayley's experience with you was awesome. Bayley was so happy and confident getting her photos done with you, she had a great time and wants to get more done. Will definitely be getting more photos done with you. Thanks so much for making our daughter feel so special ??"

My wonderful friend Jess and I had our photo shoot together and we had no idea what to expect. We just wanted a bit of a confidence boost and to share a fun experience but it turned out to be the most hilarious and rewarding day!

Mandi and Craig felt like old friends from the moment we walked in the door and they are both seriously talented people. Mandi gave us the confidence us to experiment with lots of different clothes, hair and make-up - It was like being a kid again but with professional help to play dress ups! It was really liberating to suddenly look at yourself in a new light and the photos she took were phenomenal.

I got so much more out of the experience than I ever expected. Thank you!!

"I would say, as someone who prefers to take pictures rather than have pictures taken of myself, I ended up having a fun afternoon. There were some moments where I felt silly and self conscious, but Mandi didn’t not mind my nervous giggles and captured beautiful snapshots. She also let me cuddle her bunny which made my day! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon!"

Where do I start… my photos are my confidence. Whenever I get stuck or need a creative jolt I go through my photos to see which one speaks to me to move forward. I still can’t believe I have so many great shots of ME to choose from. My photos were a critical step in my self belief.

We did a Mother and Daughter photoshoot with Mandi and had the most amazing experience. Mandi makes you feel so special and so beautiful. We walked away from our time with Mandi saying ‘Wow’ what an experience we had. Mandi’s skills are incredible and she makes you feel and look stunning in every single photo. Thank you for the time you spent with us we will never forget our special day. This experience has given us so many special memories of our time together and this is something we will treasure forever.

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you!
I know not many women will ever ring up and say "Mandi, I want you to take photos of me in all sorts of outfits and settings, because I am a strong woman, mother, partner, lover, daughter and person, I deserve to be really proud of my amazing beautiful body with all the curves be them large or small! " like or loathe them! "

It just does not work that way!!!!
.... what it does take are real people like me to tell you YOU MUST DO THIS IN YOUR LIFETIME !!!! No matter what age or shape you are !!!

These were taken in July in the middle of winter, at a bit of a low time in my life. As a Mum I work full time also and was just about to postpone the day, I just did not feel like smiling or having my picture taken at all. I had organised to have the day off work and instead of sitting on the couch I went !
The day was amazing! Mandi welcomed me with open arms, I didn't have to worry about a thing or anyone, the whole day felt like we were just playing dress-ups, before we became adults !!! lol
The end result ... Never did I think I could look this way, I love them all soo much !
These photos are not just about the finished product either !!
These photos, every-time I look at them is about remembering who I am as a woman, knowing that my body will change, but to be proud of the body I have today.
Mandi has captured so much more than just an image, I am so grateful to now have these Mandi thank you.

Please ladies do this at least once in your lifetime !

We felt very comfortable during our time with Mandi and we were so impressed with her creativity and ability to soothe our newborn Brodie to get the perfect shots!
The experience was fun with all of the creative options, scenes and props we could choose and Mandi spent a generous amount of time trying to get the best images for us- Thankyou so much !

"An awesome experience at Mandy's beautiful garden. Mandy made us feel comfortable and confident- love our results!"

I was nervous and unsure what to expect or how the morning would pan out but after arriving and meeting Mandi I was quickly reassured this was a great opportunity and I needed to make the most of it. Mandi has this amazing personality that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed in the studio and outdoors. I’m ever so grateful for the experience and being able to have these amazing images to look at and remember that beauty can be found everywhere. I loved the experience so much I returned for more photos. Thank you Mandi and Craig.

My daughter and I took up Mandi’s kind offer of a mother/daughter bonding photo shoot. It was fantastic! We learned to treasure ourselves, and each other all over again. We re-learned how to laugh at ourselves because the day was so much fun! . Mandi did our make-up which was different to our normal looks. Through this she captured some special looks. We loved it.
Being able to use Mandi’s dress-ups was an absolute bonus. There was a treasure trove of amazing colour and costume options that added to a delightful day of feeling beautiful, pampered and loved. We are very pleased with our photos

I loved everything about my day with Mandi, right from the start when we talked about my interests and why I wanted a 1940's themed shoot. I wasn't going to do any boudoir shots, but we did those first and I was made to feel so comfortable and it was so much fun. The photos are so beautiful it is hard to believe they are me! I would recommend them to everyone. When my husband came and joined in after lunch the fun really started. I have a set of three of the two of us in our kitchen and they make me smile every time I see them. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and of course pictures.

Very welcoming and fun loving experience. Mandi has a warmth and gentle personality which children especially find the experience easy and natural. Highly recommend to all.

Hi Mandy and Craig just wanted to thank you. My photos are amazing !!!!
My experience with ala mojo was incredible I had s fantastic day.
You had me calm and relaxed feeling like an old friend in no time.
I felt like a princess.
The hair and makeup was natural yet effective and I never knew that I could look that beautiful. Thanks guys ...
What a beautiful memory for my 40th.

"I can't remember a decent photo of me during my adult years and I became quite phobic about having my picture taken as the results were always terrible. Time to face up to this so I booked a shoot with Mandi Lynn and the results were mind blowing - I had no idea I could look this good! It was a great experience, I loved the dressing up and make up, which helped a lot and most of all it was fun!"
