Client Testimonials
“I recently had a set of portraits created by Maundy. It was a wonderful experience! Creative and collaborative; co-creation at its very best. I found Maundy’s studio to be a delightful extension of her welcoming presence. I’d characterize her process as an exploration of the human spirit; one filled with wonder. As a Painter, I am particularly fascinated with portrait painting and the search for this elusive and unnameable ‘timeless quality’ … conjuring the likeness of light and the fleeting character of a moment. Some might call it ‘beauty’. Maundy understands all of this. And more importantly, she knows how to capture it! She loves what she does. I love my portraits and you will love your ‘beautiful’ portraits too.”
Paul Mock
“I never thought about having portraits done until I spent time with Maundy’s work. I loved the detail, the homages to other artists, the beauty of youth and age portrayed tenderly, the humor and sheer artistry in her portraits. Watching her work was enlightening, too, as she put the subject at ease and engaged them to create photos that let the person shine through. Still, it is daunting when you are the subject! But the entire experience was a delight. Both my husband and I felt relaxed and engaged. In the end, seeing ourselves in so many poses gives us a glimpse into what others may see when they look at us. Our kids will have a wonderful portfolio of ‘us,’ thanks to Maundy. We felt privileged to work with such a consummate artist and are grateful for the results. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for truly exquisite portraits.”
Stephanie Osborne
“In need of updated headshots and professional photos, I was lucky to spot a friend’s online post of tintype photo taken by Maundy Mitchell. Intrigued, I checked out Maundy’s website. An email led to a conversation, and I happily agreed to participate in her Unforgettable photography [campaign]. What a fabulous experience! I felt like a queen for a day, and now I have a collection of lovely photos.”
Carol Waldo
“I never dreamed of having my portrait done until I saw Maundy Mitchell’s work. She is the best portrait photographer I have ever seen. At the age of 75, I sometimes feel invisible. Having Maundy portray me as the person I really am – was such an affirming experience.”
Susan Hofstetter
“I had the most amazing experience with Maundy! Her photographs are stunning and I am very excited that she was able to provide me with my head shots. I felt confident and had a ton of fun during our session together and I LOVE the final photographs! If you are in need of a photographer, I VERY highly recommend Maundy!”
Rebecca Ensign
“With the anticipation of my oldest graduating high school, I wanted senior pictures to really capture the essence of what makes her unique. From our first meeting with Maundy, I was incredibly impressed with the artistic process of how she took the time to get to know my daughter. Months of thoughtful and purposeful preparation led to the most beautiful and distinctive senior portraits that exceeded my expectations and my daughter’s expectations as well. Maundy truly captured the heart and soul of my daughter, and I am grateful beyond words to have this experience.”
Jennifer Wright
“A fantastic day of beauty and validation! From the moment I arrived, both Maundy and the hair and makeup stylist greeted me warmly and exuded a calm and positive energy. It was all about me, and I was able to enjoy it, and feel good about myself. Maundy is an artist and she can somehow (with her skills) bring out your authentic self while creating art with her camera. I highly recommend having portraits done by Maundy—nothing can compare with her photographic genius!”
Susan Chadwick
“Maundy’s work is art photography at its most interesting and its best. She takes great care in choosing backdrops and her lighting skills are spot on. Maundy is a multi-talented artist and brings together aspects of her talents seamlessly. She makes her clients feel comfortable and in turn instills confidence. Her end product is a successful collaboration between photographer and subject.”
Rebecca Hastings
“What a great experience. The shoot was relaxed, collaborative, and fun. I left energized. I do believe that everyone should have a picture of themselves that they love, and now I have several. Thank you!”
John Zuccardy
“My experience with Maundy was fantastic. I was part of her Extraordinary: Over 50 series. She was supportive and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. The photo shoot was so much fun and I felt like a star. The end result was amazing! From my pictures I can see her attention to detail shining through. I highly recommend working with Maundy for any photography needs or even just for a confidence boosting photo shoot! She will make it worthwhile.”
Nancy Pierce
“Marvelous — I adore the photographs. Maundy’s skill and vision make this more than photos. It is an amazing experience.”
Donna Pond
“As someone who never feels photogenic, sitting for a portrait, especially a tintype where the results are so immediate and true, feels intimidating. Maundy cultivated the session into an intimate, comfortable, and fun experience, one that was perfect for our wedding anniversary as me and my husband were able to connect and bond, participating fully in the creation and development of the images in the dark room. From beginning to end, Maundy works to help you shed layers and get at the core of who you are, and that is what shows up in the tintype. Doug and I will never forget the wonderful morning we spent creating these memories and pieces of history in her studio. Maundy is a true artist and will help you to connect with your humanity and soul. 10/10 would recommend.”
Emma van Ness
“Maundy immediately put me at ease and was able to bring out my best through a magical combination of her professional skills and warm personality! My portraits are beautiful and I had a great day of dressing up and primping a little!”
Lisa MacDonald
“Great experience and lovely results with the final photos. Excellent headshots and half body shots. Very easy to work with and highly recommend.”
Douglas Chapman
“I was overwhelmed at first about being photographed, but Maundy’s inviting warmth was comforting throughout my session. To say that she is an artist with talent and versatility doesn’t do her justice. She has vast interests and background that make you feel honored. More than that, you feel good your own skin! The photos are wonderful and can ‘tell all’ of your layers. I’m thankful for this experience.”
Kathy Gulick
“Working with Maundy was just wonderful! I’m not one that’s very comfortable getting in front of a camera, but she was so supportive and helpful and really made me comfortable in my own skin. And the final products were lovely!”
Grace Gilbert
“Maundy is wonderful to work with. She made me feel beautiful, confident and comfortable in her gorgeous studio. Her professionalism and skilled artistry are a perfect combination for anyone seeking a photography session.”
Jeanne Lohnes
“What an amazing experience! I had so much fun doing this and absolutely love the photos. Thank you so much, Maundy.”
Nancy LePage
“Working with Maundy is great! Like many people, I’m self-conscious and find having my photo taken an awkward experience. Maundy created an environment that put me at ease. She even made the process fun. And, most importantly, great photos! I recommend Maundy Mitchell enthusiastically.”
Nathaniel Bowditch
“I had a great experience with Maundy for my headshots. I felt comfortable and relaxed thanks to her friendly confidence and the pleasant studio setting. My session never felt rushed, but was was still time efficient, completing shooting multiple looks and photo selection in under an hour. I had my completed images, optimized for LinkedIn, web, and print, in under a week. I am very happy with the images and posted them to my profiles right away. Make sure you get a tour of Maundy’s restored antique camera in the back of the studio. It is a work of art itself!”
Jesse McGowan
“If I could leave more than five stars I would. Maundy creates such a safe and welcoming environment for her clients, any nerves I had about the process quickly slipped away once I met her. She guides you through the whole process and I left feeling good about not only the headshots she created, but about myself as well.”
Audrey Solinas
“Magical experience – Maundy is the one you need for business portraits or treasured family heirlooms.”
Garlyn Manganiello
“My first photo shoot ever. Maundy made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She’s extremely knowledgeable and proficient. I love my new headshots!”
Debra Claffey
“Maundy has captured my portrait several times in several capacities. From professional headshots for my website, photos for a book cover, and portrait campaigns like her Unforgettable: the Over 50 Revolution, each photo is a work of art — unique, beautiful and powerful. Maundy captures the essence of my being in each aspect of my life. I highly recommend her for your portrait needs!”
Mary Francis Drake
“Maundy was amazing! She made sure that our day was special and that we were comfortable from start to finish. The presentation of the photos during our reveal session was intimate and thoughtful. I never expected to cry while looking at our photos, but Maundy was able to capture all of our unique personalities perfectly. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Maundy!”
Heather Mason
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Maundy because of her Extraordinary: The Over 50 Revolution campaign. She made me feel at ease during the session, and the finished photos are nothing short of amazing! I highly recommend Maundy for anyone looking for high-quality photos and exceptional service.”
Amanda Stevens
“Maundy was the best! She was professional, knowledgeable and just a lovely person, and that made the experience so smooth and fun. We had a lot of fun during the shoot and the turnaround was prompt! I was so happy when got the email saying my [headshots] were ready! I would recommend her to anyone. My photos were top of the line!”
Doug Dolan
“My husband and I had a portrait session with Maundy and we immediately started enjoying and loving every bit of process. We felt well-taken care of and listened to in every step of the exploration – initial consultation session, “mood”/ “theme”discussion, make-up session, and the most exciting of all, the photoshoot! Not only her exquisite professional skills and manner, but her charm and enthusiasm also impressed us. We have worked with professional photographers in the past, though we appreciated them all, Maundy is sure one of a kind. We adored the final products, they are like artworks. When we were holding and looking at them, we felt that all the work, time, and money, we put into this were worth it. Highly recommended!”
Zi Liang
“…Maundy is as professional as she is talented. Communication and booking process was super simple. The environment is quiet, tasteful, and private. Once you’re there, Maundy makes you feel right at home. The experience is very collaborative. She is a wonderful listener, and interprets your thoughts and goals in a way that most people just can’t. She sees your vision and runs with it. I could not have anticipated how good the end results would be. Everyone I’ve showed them to is beyond impressed. This was my first time getting professional headshots done, and I was a bit hesitant prior to the day of the shoot. But now that I have the final product, it is clear I chose the right photographer. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Maundy’s work is a reminder of the sense of awe and wonder a professional, experienced artist can create. Her work is on or above par with something you would find in NYC, Los Angeles, Paris – i.e. world class. Do yourself a favor and check out her website, look at her portfolio, and send her a message. You won’t regret it.”
Alex Pascoal
“Maundy is wonderful – patient, knowledgeable, and creates a comfortable atmosphere. She helped me develop a professional portrait I can be happy to use (coming from someone who really dislikes photos). Would 100% recommend!”
Kristin Carman
“This was such a magical day! …I felt confident and damn delicious! Maundy has such talent. I highly recommend that you get professional photographs if you have never done it. What a gift to leave for those you love!”
Pamela Bowers
“I have worked with Maundy before when she did a portrait session for me several years ago. I knew she was the one to help me update my professional headshots. Everything Maundy does is well thought out and prepared for, while still leaving room for her creative spark to ignite in the moment. She is skilled, talented, creative and more — she is an artist. My experience was very enjoyable. She put me right at ease in front of the camera! My headshots came out amazing! I recommend Maundy highly for any session she offers!”
Audrey Drake
“I’m grateful to have met and worked with Maundy Mitchell on these AMAZING new headshots! She was so professional and skilled and made me feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time. It was such a joy!”
Anna Munsey-Kano
“I scheduled a tintype session with Maundy to celebrate our 10th (tin) wedding anniversary and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Maundy creates a such a warm and inviting environment. I tend to dislike being on the subject side of the camera, so her direction and enthusiasm made it easy and enjoyable. Her love and expertise of photography is evident in all her work. Do yourself a favor and schedule a session!”
Joseph Chartier-Petrelis
“After admiring her work on Instagram, I drove and hour and a half for a headshot session with Maundy. It was worth every minute! She gave clear directions about how to prepare for the session and, when I arrived, made the whole thing so easy. I was amazed with the results. I highly recommend Maundy Mitchell Photography.”
Amy Ford
“I had such a great experience at my headshot and portrait session with Maundy! I’ve never liked having my picture taken, and as a professional photographer, I wanted to have excellent-quality images that really capture who I am. Her process begins way before the appointment, and she spent time exploring my style and personality—quirks and all! I felt very confident putting this responsibility in her capable hands. Her work is beautiful, the process is really fun, and I look forward to doing it again!”
Evelyn Lamprey
“I had an exceptional experience doing a photo shoot (for headshots) with Maundy Mitchell. She deftly put me at ease, thereby helping me into relaxed poses without self-consciousness. She worked quickly but unhurriedly, along the way both evincing interest in what I do professionally and explaining some details of the lighting environment she created for the shoot. The shoot itself was easy and congenial. We then sat down to winnow the proofs down to a few keepers. This selection process, too, was a most enjoyable experience: we traded observations about details, about mood, about lighting quality, and within about 20 minutes had selected 5 shots — all very fine — from the 15 excellent possibilities we started with. I felt throughout that I was in the hands of a gifted professional. The final edited shots are most compelling.”
Mark Nelson
“Maundy was incredible to work with! I went into our session not really knowing what I wanted out of my headshots – but she was able to work with me and help me get pictures that I loved! If you are looking for quality professional photographs from a wonderful person, Maundy Mitchell is the way to go.”
Lindsey Brunelle
“From near or far, the trip to Maundy Mitchell Photography is worth it! I needed author head shots for my website. Maundy is not only a master photographer, she radiates warmth and empathy. I loved my time in the studio with her. That level of professionalism and warmth also translated to my head shots. I am so pleased with them!”
Anne Trooper
“I recently had the privilege of sitting for a portrait session with Maundy Mitchell. The session was a gift from my husband who recognized the fact that I am typically behind the lens and very rarely in front of it. While I greatly appreciated the thoughtfulness of the gift, I was apprehensive at first because it had been ages since I’d been the sole focus of a photographer and, after having had two kids and twenty years passing since my last headshot sitting, I wasn’t sure I wanted to see what the camera would capture. I shouldn’t have worried. From the moment I walked into her studio, Maundy put me immediately at ease. She talked me through what to expect from the next few hours, while her colleague Donna used her incredible makeup talents to make sure I was 100% ready for my closeup. Maundy then expertly took control of the session, guiding me comfortably through poses and facial expressions, while simultaneously arranging the staging and lighting to best capture the mood we were aiming for. I [put aside] my self-doubt aside as I knew I was in great hands. Additionally, she is a genuinely warm, wonderful human being who has such clear joy and passion for her art. Spending that time with her felt like hanging out with a friend. For the last two weeks, I have eagerly awaited my portrait reveal appointment with Maundy… I tried to whittle my choices down, but it was virtually impossible as each photo captured a slightly varying aspect of my personality… My husband and I wound up leaving her studio armed with a box loaded with prints and a framed [portrait]. Maundy’s artistry and ability to free her subject from the confines of their insecurities are remarkable. I am so grateful I had the chance to be her muse for a few hours. We have already booked a family session and it cannot come quickly enough! “
Sabreena Kropp
“My wife and I booked a tintype session with Maundy for our 10th anniversary. Maundy was so helpful and responsive while answering questions leading up to the day of the shoot. The day of the shoot was truly a dream. Maundy is clearly passionate about what she does, and her warm and fun approach to the process put us at ease immediately. Being a part of the process from planning, to understanding the science and sequence of events to make the tintype portrait come to life was so special. As a creative myself, it was a true joy to immerse myself briefly in someone else’s world. I cannot recommend Maundy more highly. She is a true artist and the results of our session are absolutely beautiful”
Drew Gundlach
“Maundy is so wonderful to work with! She encourages you to look your best. Her knowledge of how to pose you for the best outcome is outstanding. I LOVE MY HEADSHOTS!”
Suzan Gannett
“I had never gotten professional photos done before working with Maundy, and was a bit nervous about the session. Her wonderful studio space was warm and professional, immediately assuaging my worries and giving me the notion that I was going to leave with something special. Maundy gently guided me through the session with pose and expression directions, all designed to capture the message I wanted to portray through use of her extensive knowledge on body language. At the end of the session we found “the ones,” and Maundy explained how she was going to perfect [the images] for a variety of uses across print and web. I highly recommend Maundy to anyone who needs a professional photographer, she is a master at her craft and will certainly capture your vision…”
Michael Burnham
“Maundy did our family photos and my headshots a few years ago. We loved her work, so it was only natural for me to reach out when it was time for my headshot refresh. I love her work. I uploaded the new photos to multiple corporate profiles at work and immediately began receiving compliments about how good the headshots looked. We’ll be scheduling another family photo session with Maundy in the near future!”
David Unangst
“It was an amazing experience! Your warmth, eye for details, and artistic abilities are incredible. I loved everything about the day, and the mother-daughter portraits are beyond special to me. It was a beautiful and memorable day. Thank you for making it that way .”
Ulrike Smith
“I’ve never had my picture taken professionally and was apprehensive when I made my appointment, but the whole experience was so wonderful my only regret is not working with Maundy sooner. From beginning to end she was warm, professional, and personable; she is not only incredibly skilled in her art, but was genuinely interested in what I was looking for from my portraits, asking plenty of questions and integrating my own preferences and ideas with her extensive expertise. My time in the studio was very relaxed and comfortable; I never once felt rushed or under any kind of pressure, and there was a real atmosphere of congeniality and collaboration that I very much appreciated considering how new I was to the process. I was quite frankly taken aback by the quality of the finished photographs; I’ve seen wonderfully-shot portraits in magazines all my life, but had never considered that one day I might be the subject of one. I’m beyond pleased with my portraits and would recommend Maundy in a heartbeat.”
Sean McGrath
“Maundy Mitchell is both a consummate professional and an inspirational artist. She calmed my nerves and captured the core of who I am in my professional headshots. Her studio is as bright, intentional, and comforting as she is.”
Jini Sparkman
“Getting my portrait photos taken from Maundy was worth every penny! While looking around for a photographer to take headshots for my personal website, I could tell there was something special about her work. It was clear to me that the level of quality she produced was a notch above anyone else I could find locally (and I live in Boston!) In person, Maundy has an enthusiasm and professionalism that puts you at ease. From a technical perspective, her work is flawless and I don’t want to discount that part (because knowing how to light your subject and keep sharp focus is invaluable), but what I think is more important is how she makes the photo session fun and carefree. Her attitude brought out the best in me and that’s why you go to a pro!”
Jeremy Osborn
“If you are someone who is typically uncomfortable being photographed, maybe afraid the image you see will somehow confirm all of your insecurities, you need Maundy Mitchell. Her process is a mix of science, magic, luxury, and talent, and she has the uncanny ability to draw out the most beautiful bits of yourself, leaving you with images that will take your breath away, and maybe even leave you seeing yourself in a new light. Every woman who has the opportunity to work with Maundy should do so without hesitation. Invest in yourself. Get in front of the camera!”
Kree Woolley
“I was looking for new headshots so I could get back into acting, after having taken a few years off. I found Maundy through a web search and was impressed with the reviews. I sent an email; she replied very quickly and we scheduled our first meeting. I was comfortable with her right from the start; she is very personable and energetic, and she gets to know you so she can incorporate your personality into her ideas. I enjoyed creating my “mood board,” which she used to further customize my shoot. Picking out the wardrobe was fun, and she made suggestions based on my personality, likes, and style. The most difficult part was having to wait for picture day! Fast forward to the day of the shoot: I arrived early and Donna did my hair and makeup. She is a lovely soul – bubbly personality and very friendly. Then it was picture time! Maundy guided me through the whole process, and explained why certain poses “worked” better than others. She was very professional, but pleasant and enthusiastic as well. I felt like a supermodel, and was comfortable throughout it all. I now have pictures of myself that I am proud of and that I can use in my acting portfolio, and for my professional headshot for work. The printed photos are beautifully done and will be keepsakes forever. The whole experience was a very positive one, and I would highly recommend her!”
Danielle Morse
“Maundy’s photography will make you look like a gorgeous professional and make you feel like an ultimate star. Did I miss my calling as a fashion supermodel? Probably not. But working with Maundy I was able to get some perfect images for corporate and personal use. Two thumbs up! ”
Nelson Aquino
“Deciding to schedule headshots for a new business that I’m launching proved to be a much more vulnerable experience than anticipated. I had a lot of apprehension leading up to the appointment, and I made that known to Maundy upon entering her door. Not only did Maundy immediately normalize this feeling and calm my worries, she made me feel incredibly comfortable and at home in her space. If anyone is considering investing in professional photos, I cannot recommend Maundy highly enough. She is smart, articulate, hilarious, and a master at her craft. I’m so pleased with the final product and will be proud to display these pictures on my business website and online profiles.”
Michelle Cutillo
“Between having my professional headshot taken by Maundy (a photo of myself that I felt was finally amazing) and taking her photography courses, she is an artist with a lot of skill and a good teacher. Would recommend!”
Nora Butler
“Maundy is extremely helpful and professional! She did headshots for me and they came out great. I received them in a timely manner. Highly recommended!”
Bryon Restuccia
“My headshot session with Maundy was a fun and empowering experience. She is not only killer with a camera but warm, friendly and made me feel like I was a participant in the creative process instead of just her subject. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a beautiful photo that shows your essence.”
Christine Richardson
“I landed on Maundy’s website due to the reviews I read. Not only were the reviews on point, but Maundy exceeded my expectations. Maundy’s studio has a clean & fresh look. She took time to truly ensure that my personal style and look was reflected in each photo. She was extremely thorough in her instruction and process and I appreciated her being so detail oriented. Working with Maundy was a perfect way to kickstart my new gig & evolve my professional brand.”
Shwetha Anandan
“I cannot speak more highly of Maundy. I was absolutely dreading having a business headshot done and my experience could not have been more opposite of what I was expecting. Maundy made me feel comfortable straight from hello and [her protocols helped me feel] safe [during COVID-19]. I certainly don’t consider myself photogenic and she managed to get some of the best photos of me ever taken.”
Dianne Cantara
“I’m thankful to have met Maundy Mitchell. I’m grateful she was willing to capture me during what I imagine will be a very memorable time in my life. When I first met Maundy I told her I wanted to celebrate my three-decade love affair with dance, and mostly I wanted to have something my daughter could keep forever and say, ‘That’s my mom.’ Maundy’s artistry blows me away. I’m so thankful to have met this talented and gentle soul. Maundy’s creative process was so inspiring and working with her was a true collaboration. What a gift. This experience was truly a highlight of 2020.”
Ashley Meeken
“The entire experience with Maundy Mitchell was fabulous! From the moment we arrived for our photo session we were treated like royalty and the results were beyond wonderful!”
Rosemary D’Arcy
“I needed a picture of myself for professional reasons … Almost from the moment I opened the door I was expressing my apprehension, but Maundy made me feel comfortable right away. She is warm, genuine and incredibly skilled at coaching her clients through the process in order to achieve a great product. I appreciated her honest guidance and trusted her ‘eye’. She is a true artist. In watching her, I realized that she is able to see and celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of each of her clients. Because she can see it, she can portray it and reflect it back to us, which is truly a gift.”
Jan Coville
“I had an excellent experience having Maundy create headshots for me. Maundy made me comfortable right from the start, helping me relax and appear at my best. I received my chosen photos quickly. It was an enjoyable experience with the highest level of professionalism from start to finish!”
Joan Barnum
“Maundy did an amazing photo session for my husband and I. Our entire experience was so special, with photos that brought joy and emotion to life through photography. Her work is excellent, with such care and thought put into each image. Thank you, Maundy. We are so happy to have these photographs.”
Tracy Ripkey
“I met Maundy recently for my first professional NH Realtor headshot photos. She made the whole process go by so quickly and guided me on what I needed to do. A very patient and fun-loving person to work with for sure. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure!”
Tracey Bennett
“Maundy is an exceptional talent! Her clients get to become part of her artwork as she delivers portraits that bring out the best in her subject. Highly recommend!”
Jennifer Shea
“What an amazing experience, start to finish! From the first contact we had with Maundy, it was obvious that she wants her clients to enjoy every part of the unique process and come away with portraits that will be cherished for a lifetime. She works to bring out the different parts of each person’s personality and show the beauty in that depth. We absolutely love all of our portraits! Maundy is truly talented and a passionate professional who will deliver results beyond your expectations.”
Erica Willingham
“Maundy Mitchell was fabulous. I needed a new headshot with very specific requirements. She was incredibly responsive, creative, and also a lot of fun to work with. She walked me through the shoot preparation, and then provided precise but easy-to-follow suggestions along the way. Her energy and positive feedback made for a very enjoyable and successful session. I wound up with a great selection to choose from, and she was also incredibly helpful in working through that process. Amazing work in every way! I could not be more pleased with the entire experience.”
Robin Dorff
“This was a wonderful experience for our family. Maundy is an incredibly talented photographer. This was not your ordinary portrait session. Very professional. We were extremely happy with the results. We have a bunch of family shots, headshots of each of us and an awesome collection of senior portraits of our son. Maundy is the photographer to go to!”
Susan MacDonald
“As an actor, singer, and a musical theater student at Plymouth State University, I was ready to have professional, good quality headshots that would allow casting directors to take me seriously. I reached out to everyone trying to figure out where I could find the BEST headshots. Everyone HIGHLY recommended Maundy Mitchell. I was told that she has worked internationally and that her work has gotten people cast in TV shows and theater opportunities. The moment I emailed her, she responded right away and jumped to the opportunity, excited to get me started. At first I was incredibly nervous going into my first professional headshot session. But Maundy’s warm and welcoming personality instantly made the butterflies go away. The headshot session was incredibly engaging. Maundy talked me through the whole time as we created different characters for the different roles I wanted to play. She made the emotions came through my facial expressions naturally. Maundy makes sure her photos capture the pure essence and beauty of each person no matter who they are. That’s what makes Maundy so unique. What others see as a flaw, Maundy sees as beautiful. I give Maundy Mitchell my HIGHEST recommendation.”
Hanna Street
“[My family and I] had a wonderful, relaxing day of bonding. [Before this session] I was opposed to having my pictures taken. Maundy made everyone so relaxed and comfortable. We had a hard time choosing our finished photos! My granddaughter now has a keepsake [folio box], class picture, and headshots. Fabulous! If you are considering doing portraits, don’t hesitate.”
Brenda Clayton
“Maundy Mitchell is not only a wonderfully talented photographer, she’s so kind, genuine, and makes you feel so at home in her studio! Her hair and makeup artist is friendly, sweet, and talented, too! What an amazing experience with my mom, sister, and [nephew].”
Hillary Ayers
“Maundy is the best. She coaches you the entire time to get the best pictures out of you and her attention to detail is amazing. She takes her time taking your pictures and makes you feel like you are the most important person in that place and time. My headshots [have always been] terrible but she guided me through taking very nice [headshots]. It was an excellent experience. I am considering doing a full family “portrait experience” with her sometime in the future as well as taking digital photography and portrait taking classes from her. It is also worth noting that Maundy is much more than a portrait photographer, she is a working artist that designs and exhibits work and the portrait collections she puts together for her clients are a work of art.”
Lourdes Aviles
“Maundy Mitchell is an amazing photographer! I don’t like having my picture taken at all, in fact I didn’t have a single selfie or any single pictures of myself and I needed [photos] for my business. Maundy is professional and has a deep understanding of people. In our first meeting I was completely comfortable and confident she would do a great job, and I was not disappointed. I’ve had tons of compliments on the photos and I’m so happy with her work. We hope to have family portraits done soon. I would recommend her in a heartbeat, she will find the beauty in you!”
Casey Scheinler
“Maundy is an artist and a professional. During our session, I never doubted that she wanted the best look possible for me. She really wanted to get my true self into the photos and she did. I am so very pleased with the results.”
Linda Barnes
“Myself, along with my two daughters and grandson, had a photo session with Maundy… The entire experience was amazing! Maundy was a gem to work with. We all felt so comfortable. Maundy really captured our spirits; the fun we have when we’re together and the love we share for each other! The photos are beautiful!”
Kathy Twombly
“If you are looking for professional entertainment industry-grade photography you can stop searching and contact Maundy immediately. She is a MASTER in her craft and works with ancient wisdom and modern technology to create headshots that will grab the eye of casting directors at the highest levels of the industry. I cannot recommend Maundy highly enough.”
Francois Bessing
“At one point during our photo reveal session, as we stood speechless before the wall featuring Maundy’s portraits of our daughter, I remarked that Maundy was a magician. Like a true artist, she worked all kinds of creative magic, from planning the lighting and composition of each frame, to knowing how to advise us in selecting outfits, to creating a relaxing and hopeful atmosphere during the photo shoot. At every step along the way, Maundy displayed patience and confidence, all the while thinking carefully about the technical aspects of her craft that would present our teenager in the best light. We could not be more pleased with these works of art that will be treasured by our family for years to come!”
Julia V.
“I have never enjoyed being photographed as I tend to get stiff and stern. In fifteen minutes, Maundy changed my attitude completely. She is an artist with the camera but also an artist in the craft of bringing her subjects out of their shyness and reserve. She cajoles, jokes, even teases, to bring you into the photo you want. She leads you to your real image. I strongly recommend Maundy to anyone who wants a true image of themselves and to enjoy and learn from the process. “
Richard Osborne
“From my initial meeting with Maundy and throughout the entire process, she partnered with me very closely to understand what I wished to accomplish in a portrait session; but beyond that; she sought to truly understand my story; my journey and then with a refreshing openness, grace and humility she captured the very essence of who I am in stunning portraiture. I will treasure my very special experience with Maundy in her studio for many years to come.”
Susan Donnelly
“I have never had professional photos like this taken before. What a wonderful experience! Maundy Mitchell Photography is absolutely amazing and her work is STUNNING.”
Liz Chaplain
“What a tremendous experience working with Maundy! She’s a true professional and takes her time with you while in the studio. The photos that she produced are amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the final product.”
Ted Baumeister
“ It was a great JOY to work with Maundy Mitchell for [my] campaign headshots. I learned so much about myself watching her work her magic. She understands the whole person and has the expertise to convey who we are beyond the basics of how we look. Or… she helps us project the essence of who we are through an image. I never knew such a thing was possible. Can’t wait to go back and have another photo “therapy session” some time in the near future. “
Marcia Morris
“Maundy is one fantastic artist and photographer. I normally dislike having photos taken, so I was very cautious in the beginning about this whole experience. However, I needed a new headshot for some wonderful upcoming opportunities. I don’t think I’ve ever had a photo for professional purposes that I’ve really liked, until Maundy’s photos. I was surprised that I actually had a difficult time choosing. I enjoyed everything about the whole experience. It was very pleasant, fun, and interesting.”
Carleen Graff
“Maundy provides not only excellent quality work – really top notch – but also a relaxing and safe environment. The headshot session started with hair, makeup, and pampering. Maundy provides excellent instructions to ensure you get the best looks. Can’t recommend enough!”
Lesley Pankhurst
“Maundy is not only a great photographer and portraitist, she is also a well-spoken and articulate teacher. When you allow Maundy to create your portraits you come out of the experience with more than just a picture in frame; you will learn a little something about yourself and the everyday people that you walk among. And the picture isn’t just a picture, it’s a message to the world about you.”
Bruce Denis
“[My friend and I] went to [an open studio event] in Plymouth, where I met Maundy for the first time. I fell in love with her photography. I decided I would have a family session with our daughter, two of our teenage grandsons, and my husband. [On the day of our photo session] my daughter and I felt like we were royalty. We had our makeup and hair done, and then individual shots, and shots together. My husband and grandsons joined the session later. Maundy made it fun for all of us. It was a great experience! The photos are great and [everyone] loves them! Thank you for the great day and the wonderful photos.”
Linda Grey
“I have found a connection with these photos like none I have experienced before. The process of being in front of a camera wielded by an artist is something I cannot express clearly in words. Maundy Mitchell is more than a professional photographer. She is intuitive and knows how to bring out the authenticity of her subjects by pushing them just far enough to the edge of their comfort zone until they are willing to show themselves, show their vulnerability, shyness, goofiness… I had forgotten how joyful I could be until I saw it again in these photos.”
Audrey Drake
“These [headshots] are amazing. What a great experience. It was wonderful working with you. You were so helpful through the whole process, from hints before we arrived to making [my daughter] comfortable while being photographed, and assisting us in selecting among all beautiful shots you took. Thank you!”
Jen Stewart
“Maundy showed me that maternity portraits can be an authentic expression of the growing bond between mother and child. Her gorgeous compositions celebrate my nurturing new maternal curves while also validating my independent, confident identity. I am so glad to have these photos so that I can always revisit this special time when my daughter and I were one!”
Sarah Parrish
“When we first met Maundy for our initial discussion about Ella’s senior photo session, we felt heard and seen. The studio space is professional, warm, and welcoming. Maundy is an artist whose photos are beautifully contemporary with a hint of the old masters, and extremely personal and strong. We are looking forward to our family photo session next summer.”
Suzan Ballmer
“A truly wonderful experience. I reached out to Maundy looking for some professional photos for social media, and I love the results. The shoot design is really well done – Maundy’s process and recommendations leading up to the shoot really helped me to envision what I was looking for, and helped me when it came time to try different expressions. I loved everything from start to finish, and I definitely recommend a session with Maundy.”
Nichole Mitchell
“We came to Maundy looking to build an authentic, professional image for our businesses that captured the heart of who we are as a creative team and separately as a working copywriter and designer. Maundy delivered on every count, the result being that we can update our websites with pride! Thank you to you and your makeover team for your guidance and expertise, Maundy — and for a terrific photo shoot day.”
Lisa Sargent and Sandie Collette
“Our portrait session with Maundy was an experience my girls and I will always treasure. We spent the day together feeling and looking our best, focusing on each other. Maundy is truly exceptional; professional from beginning to end, easy to work with, kind and patient… She knew how to bring out the best in each of us and how to capture the relationships between us. We love all the pictures!”
Patricia Rella
“I stumbled upon Maundy unexpectedly when I began thinking about updating my website pictures and was immediately drawn into her photos. I had an amazing time working with her during my photoshoot. My husband and my dog joined in the fun at the end of my session. Maundy is patient and knows how to bring out the beauty within yourself you didn’t know even existed! I would highly recommend her!”
Kimberly Hancock
“I usually try to avoid posing for photographs — I think I look unnatural and self-conscious when I know a picture is coming. Knowing this, my wife got me a headshot session with Maundy as a gift. Maundy’s wonderful warmth put me at ease immediately – my session was fun! — and her consummate artistry led to photographs that I think go far beyond the customary headshot. “
Jonathan Santore
“I highly recommend Maundy Mitchell Photography! Upon arrival, I noticed how clean the studio was. I had my hair & make up done by the [professional stylist] right there in the studio (how convenient!) who did a wonderful job making me look beautiful without putting too much makeup on. She curled my hair nicely as well. Photos had not even begun and I was impressed and sold on Maundy Mitchell’s services. We started the headshot session, which was painless–she tells you exactly what she needs from you in such a kind, calm manner to achieve the best results. The fun part… picking out your photos; this was exciting and seamless! Her turn-around time with touch ups on the photographs I chose was very reasonable. She even has a changing room. You won’t be disappointed with Maundy Mitchell Photography! I will be back.”
Brandi Hawthorne
“I booked my portrait session after seeing Maundy’s beautiful photographs of many people I recognized. She brought out the extraordinary in each of them. I wanted to treat myself to a celebration of my independence. I also wanted to mark the accomplishment of my son achieving his Junior first degree black belt in Uechi Ryu karate from White Mountain Karate. It is fun to be pampered and elegant, royalty for a day and every day that I gaze upon these images. Maundy’s portraits capture beauty, poise and confidence. We are all worthy.”
Kim Shansby Currell
“I have always feared the camera—when one is pointed in my direction, tension sets in. Maundy helped me overcome this long-held phobia with sincere patience and compassion. She delivered beautiful photos of my family and amazing individual shots–all capturing natural smiles. Her talent for minute details and gentle persuasive nature worked with even the most challenging of clients—me! I highly recommend Maundy Mitchell for individual portraits or family sessions—she’s the best!”
Deb Naro
“This was an amazing and precious experience…Maundy’s profound tender skill of seeing you, mixed with her exquisite talent, has me spinning.”
Leslie Jose
“Maundy makes the process easy and relaxing. She keeps you at ease and gets the best from you… I will cherish our photos forever!”
Bob Gannett
“Maundy is such a gifted photographer and I felt very relaxed during the whole portrait process. We are so fortunate to have her living and working in our community!”
Anne Jung-Mathews
“Maundy Mitchell made my age 70 celebrated to the highest level of joy and quality. She reached into my heart, and drew out my truest feelings. Thank you Maundy! Everyone should go and have the experience and proof: people are beautiful, as Maundy says. Superb quality service, top artistic outcome, fun experience. World famous in Plymouth, NH! Maundy makes us feel as film stars, and at the end we look like that!”
Hanna Frederick
“Traveling to France for the first time, specifically to be photographed by Maundy was a dream come true. When she told me that does photo shoots in special destinations I jumped at the chance to go with her. We’ve done work together before and I implicitly trust her ability to make me look good! She planned our photo schedule with extra time to see the sights I wanted to see and relax when we wanted to. We planned the sites to shoot and the outfits to wear, leaving some room for the unexpected, like Notre Dame as the sun was setting, which made it even more exciting for me. We had a phenomenal time together and on the day of my Print Reveal, I wanted to cry at the quality of the composition but also for the way in which Maundy found the gems in each location we shot. If you have a time in your life that you want someone truly special to record, with beauty and grace, book your time with Maundy. You will cherish her work forever.”
Shirley Mower-Fenoff
“Amazing experience! I’m astounded by her talent and in love with our portraits!”
Amy Forbes
“[I feel] blessed to have a true artist among us here in Plymouth, NH in the brilliant and beautiful Maundy Mitchell. She gave me the courage to dress up and get my picture taken someplace other than on a rock! I see her finding the singular beauty of each of our tiny souls and she accentuates it rather than trying to make you look a certain scripted way. I dressed up and had fun? Really, I’m serious!”
Kayte Knower
“Thank you for your absolutely brilliant photography, which adds so much character to [my project]. I am so happy we worked together.”
Herschel Garfein
“Maundy is the first photographer to truly capture my spirit and who I am as a person. She gave 150% to the shoot, was an absolute joy to collaborate with, and just kept pulling ideas out of her unlimited well of creativity. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results of my portrait session, and look forward to working with her again in the future. Look no further if you seek vision, artistry, and excellence.”
Amy Millios
“Maundy has a way about her that puts you at ease in front of the camera. I am someone who prefers to be behind the camera, so it was a big hurdle for me to overcome to step in front. She made those fears go away immediately. I would recommend Maundy for any type of portrait you are looking to have done!”
Laura Stevens
“Our portrait session was a soul-satisfying family experience from start to finish. It captures a unique turning point in my life. We all really loved working with Maundy and we look forward to enjoying our portraits for many years.”
Trudy Pelletier
“I needed professional headshots and was happy to find Maundy local to me. She scheduled me promptly and gave helpful hints to keep in mind as I prepared my look. It was fun getting photos done for work but also felt like a treat to myself. The finished photos were delivered very timely and came out lovely.”
Marney Mahew
“Thank you, Maundy, for an extraordinary experience! You captured our relationship perfectly and made us feel unique and beautiful. We are usually camera-shy but we were totally comfortable with you. Thank you for creating an unforgettable mother-daughter experience, and capturing unique and extraordinary images that truly reflect who we are.”
Carrie Brady
“I came to Maundy with a project for my business. She immediately dove in and worked hard to make our shared vision happen… The entire process was enjoyable, easy, and with quick turnaround. During the shoot Maundy made me feel relaxed and safe, and the images were ready fast. Don’t hesitate to work with Maundy!
Natalie Taylor
“Working with Maundy on a four-generation photo session evolved into a wonderful and unexpected gift to us! Maundy has great skill in guiding people (especially the self-proclaimed non-photogenic) to reveal their best self to her camera lens. I am so glad we now have these beautiful, memorable photos…”
Susan LeDuc
“Maundy Mitchell is amazing to work with. She will bring out the best in you with her photography. I love working with her. She rocks!”
Robin Ingalls-Fitzgerald
“Within 15 minutes, Maundy managed to make me feel beautiful, powerful, and heard! Her style is both personal and professional and I can’t recommend her enough!”
Samantha Searles
“Maundy is wonderful! I was nervous coming in at first because I had never had professional headshots taken, but she made the environment completely comfortable and helped me along the whole time. She really knows what she’s doing and your photos will turn out beautifully! Thank you Maundy!”
Lily Ayotte
“I had a great experience getting headshots from Maundy Mitchell Photography. She is incredibly welcoming and makes one feel instantly comfortable [in front of] the camera. I got exactly what I wanted and more from the experience. Also, the process of choosing the photos is enjoyable and she gets them back to you in good time.”
Louisa Holbrook
“My husband treated me to a portrait session with Maundy this past Christmas. I was hesitant and nervous at first as I prefer to be the one snapping pictures of others. Maundy made it fun, and during the planning stages managed to make me excited about coming in and sitting in front of the camera. After more than a year of basically being home in leggings, Maundy made me feel beautiful. She even let me bring my dogs to be photographed along with me, which made my finished product seem more authentically me. Maundy is professional, meticulous, and talented. Treat yourself to a session. You won’t regret it!”
Shana Jackson
“First and foremost, her work speaks for itself! Truly, truly stunning photos that you can tell she puts her whole heart into producing. I called Maundy in a panic needing headshots (after trying to contact two other photographers) and she was SO accommodating even though she had a very busy schedule. I was definitely a little nervous but Maundy’s light and kind attitude instantly put me at ease. The shoot was fun and painless and her passion for what she does really makes you feel confident. Do yourself a favor and book a session with her because it’s worth it!”
Kelly Carter
“I had the best time working with Maundy for my headshots. My session was amazing! Maundy has an effervescent energy and the love she has for her work made me so excited and comfortable to work with her! My photos came out so beautifully and I recommend going to her for any photography needs! She’s a gem! Thank you so much Maundy.”
Janaysia Gethers
“Maundy is an amazing photographer! Very professional and artistic. She is kind and caring. My session with Maundy was a lot of fun and she is very skillful at putting you at ease. I was beyond happy with the photographs!”
