Alli was a dream come true as a wedding photographer.  Not only
did she get creative, beautiful shots, but managed to capture the
spirit of our day perfectly.  The photos are artistic without being
hokey at all and we love them all.  Importantly, she accomplished
this while being a 'fly on the wall', and we hardly knew she was there!
 She was respectful, talented and lovely to work with.  Our wedding
came to life with "Life Through a Lens"!  Thanks Alli!

When I found Alli online I thought I’d hit the jackpot. Her work was so original, and
truly captivating. Then she told me her prices and I said, “Sign me up!” We shot at
sunset, which I assume takes some degree of technical ability… and Alli most certainly
had that! She is SO easy to work with, almost as if she isn’t even there—very
professional, punctual, and most importantly a true artist. The shots were
breathtaking. They now fill my home and mother’s home, and I still get chills every
time I look at them. Where Alli really shines is in her candid shots. I’m not a model,
so I was a bit nervous about how to pose or smile. Alli didn’t seem as concerned, and
I found out why when I saw the end result. The best photos were the spontaneous
moments, those completely unrehearsed shots that I thought were accidental, but were
obviously all part of the plan! I cherish my photos and I can say with great confidence
that no matter what the occasion, Alli will not disappoint! And no one believes me
when I tell them how much it cost me. I tell everyone about Alli and Life Through a
Lens. What a find!

I have had the pleasure of working with Life Through A Lens Photography and
Alli Mandoske to capture the memories of my high school reunion as well as some
special family moments.  She has the gift of seeing and portraying both the
emotions and memories of the occasion in beautiful photos.  I have displayed
many of her pictures throughout my house and every time I look at them feelings
of love and happiness are evoked.  She also has a gift of seeing an everyday
moment as art and capturing it that way.  I feel that pictures taken by Alli truly tell
a story.   On top of all of that talent she is very reasonably priced, flexible, and
patient - which is important when working with children.  She has been great to
work with and I will definitely be hiring Alli again.

                                                                                       We have found a real gift in Alli!  We love her!  And not         
                                                                                        only has she become our one and ONLY family                      
                                                                                        photographer, but she has become a friend. We feel so
blessed to have found her! She is so easy to work with. Our three year old responds to her so well. Unlike the
traditional child photo studios, that work so hard to coax a smile out of him, Alli's photos capture the true happiness
within.  Her sessions are so fun and relaxed. My son actually enjoys picture day now! When our newest addition to the
family arrived, we had to have another photo shoot for his baby pictures. Alli was so energetic with wonderful ideas
and she was so patient with the time consuming shoot. (Infants will be infants) Between feeding time, diaper changes,
and bouts of crying- she managed to get the most beautiful pictures, that were totally unexpected- due to the
circumstances.

Every session we have had with Alli, the photos have been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I never imagined our photos
could be so beautiful. They are true works of art (creative, interesting, and beautiful). Her photos now fill our house as
well as our families.

She knows how to catch those touching moments one hopes to never forget! She is very professional and talented, yet
endears herself to her subjects with gentleness and thoughtfulness. Alli has a great eye and her creativity sets her apart
from other photographers. She pays attention to detail and the results are always phenomenal.

We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an outstanding set of photos for any special occasion.

I needed pictures of my little girls for a Mother's Day gift for
my wife, but waited till the last minute. I've done some various
printing work for Alli and decided to ask for a favor-I called on
the Thursday before Mother's Day. She was able to help me out
at the last minute. She met me and my three little girls at a park
that they were familiar with and just let them play. She took
professional photos at the park and at my house with a back
drop she provided. On top of taking professional photographs,
she did editing to the photographs and made some black and
white and even some with other special effects. I could not be
happier with the quality of the photos and the service they
provided. You can not get this type of photograph or service at
the mall...I had the photographs on a disk and in my hand by
Friday evening along with prints that they provided. This gave
me more that enough time to get them framed before Mother's
Day.  Needless to say, Mother's Day was a huge success!!!
Thanks Alli and Life Through a Lens Photography. I will
happily refer you to anyone that needs photography services....
