My name is Mandy Skiles, I'm a Quincy native, and a twin mom to two beautiful girls Sloan and Baylee, I'm a wife to my wonderful and loving husband Aaron, and fur mom to a small zoo here at home. I have had a passion for photography since I was very young, it continued throughout my teenage years and into my early twenties, life just seemed to get in the way from time to time. However, once my girls were born I really started to focus on taking their portraits, and thus branching out to take friends and family members' as well. Now that my Employer has the Company up for sale, I have realized that this is the time to do what I love! Why wait, when nothing is holding me back!

​

Little Doves Portrait Studio got its name when we were trying to give the girls nicknames after first finding out we were having twins. Aaron went with the "little peas in a pod" and I thought that was way too cliché so I started calling them my little doves. Once they were born, and Springtime rolled around, we went for walks and every time we got to the end of our road, two little white doves would be in the middle of the street, same exact spot each day! The girls started to look for them and they would point and call to them. The following year, those little doves came back again, and I hope they continue to do so for years to come! Just as I hope you, my clients, will do the same!
