Modern Lifestyle Portraits | Mandy Martin Photography

portraits that celebrate confidence at every stage of life.

Because confidence is worth capturing.

You don’t need a reason to book a portrait session just a desire to see yourself the way others already do. Whether it’s for your business, a milestone, maternity, or simply you, I create relaxed, editorial-style portraits that feel effortless and true.

No awkward posing. No forced smiles.
Just honest, confident, beautiful portraits crafted to reflect your story, your style, and your stage of life.

Family Portraits On The Gold Coast

Warm, genuine portraits of the people who matter most.

Family portraits should feel warm, genuine, and connected. My Gold Coast family photography sessions are about capturing love, laughter, and real moments—whether it’s your immediate family, multi-generational group, or holiday celebration. With gentle direction and a relaxed approach, I’ll create photographs that become part of your family’s legacy.

I believe photography is more than just a beautiful image, it’s about connection, trust, and storytelling.
Over the past decade, I’ve helped women across the Gold Coast and Brisbane rediscover their confidence through modern portrait photography.

MORE ABOUT ME

I would give u limited stars if I could! Mandy went above and beyond for our maternity shoot and newborn family shoot. The photos that she produces are above any expectations. They are so unique and absolutely breathtaking. She is so talented and produces such high quality beautiful photos. We can’t wait for our next photoshoot with Mandy.

Mandy was great to work with. She was easy to communicate with from engagement to delivery. The online platform she uses is simple to use. Her years in the industry show in the seamlessness and beauty of her work.

Mandy’s work is absolutely incredible! We are beyond grateful for the effort Mandy went to in ensuring we received the perfect shots for our new range. Extremely happy with the high quality, professional images we received for our brand. We will definitely work with Mandy again for our future campaigns.

Mandy interpreted my vision for my pregnancy photoshoot beautifully. I showed her visual references for lighting / styling and angling and she executed flawlessly. I wanted some photos that were only covered by a light cloth and Mandy made me feel relaxed and comfortable (necessary when you’re scantily clad)! Highly recommend her to other women who want to have some beautiful memories of their pregnancy.

Remie Plehan
We were fortunate enough for Mandy to take our maternity photos at The Spit, Main Beach, Gold Coast. As two incredibly non-photogenic people Mandy had a magical way of easing our minds from the very first conversation. Mandy gave us all the information we needed to prepare, asked all the right questions to understand our desires and made us feel honestly like family with her beautiful nature. We were so SO happy with the images that we reconnected with Mandy to take our newborn photos of our little one at 2 weeks old - for which she made so incredibly easy for us as new parents; even coming to us at home. All the photos from both sessions were far beyond our wildest expectations! Mandy delivered a quick turnaround, heaps of photos in the gallery and perfectly edited images. We cannot recommend Mandy more highly! We are, and will continue to be, returning clients of Mandy Martin Photography!

Kate Hall
Mandy is incredible at what she does! She effortlessly facilitates the photography sessions efficiently, even with larger groups. We have continued to return to Mandy Martin Photography for family photoshoots as well as professional agency photoshoots. Flawless and we could not be happier. Thank you for all your hours of assistance!
