About Us

Meet Our Photographers

“Hello lovelies, my name is Mandy, and I am owner/lead photographer here at Millshots Photography. I will be honest; it feels a little strange to talk about myself but bare with me and I’ll try my best. I am first off, a lover of Jesus. I also do enjoy my coffee, and the outdoors. I was born and raised here in Fayetteville /Hope mills NC. I graduated from Jack Britt High School, class of 2010. Some of you may know me from my maiden name Gibson. Now married to my wonderful husband Brian (Who is also our videographer, I’ll have to do an introduction for him soon as well.) Together we have 3 beautiful children. Whom you might see photographed from time to time. As a photographer, I want to be able to pause time for just a second and remember every detail I see and never forget. Photographing those moments mean everything to me. And I want to be able to do the same for other mothers and families. Capturing moments otherwise forgotten in time. I think it is such a blessing to have the trust and privilege to provide families the same emotion and detail I see in my children, in theirs. As a business owner it is my highest priority to make sure you have the best experience and images from us. I am always looking for ways to help and work with all of our families to really provide a service that you will always remember and cherish. I look forward to meeting you and seeing all of our returning clients every year. And if there is anything I can ever help with please let me know. Even if it’s just to talk about your day, because I feel that we all need to love each other a little harder now a days. “

“Hello! My name is Tristan Hankel and I am essentially the communication between our customers and our photographers! I was a stay at home mom until the end of 2018 when I came to work for Millshots as the office manager. I am married and have a 16 and 6 year old who try me daily lol! We have a small farm that my husband cares for in an effort to become more self-sufficient and control what we are eating. I LOVE my job and have loved working with all of you through the years. Although I don’t take your pictures I do love being a part of your experience with Millshots and look forward to many more years watching your families grow!”
