About Monica Duny Photography

Photography rooted in storytelling, documenting real life, connections, and legacy

I document your memories in a way that feels real, raw, and emotional - so you can cherish them for generations to come. I don’t just take photos; I tell your story and capture your legacy through authentic, unscripted moments.

To capture your legacy with photos that spark a feeling

My Mission

I’m a documentary family and wedding photographer based in Santa Clarita, passionate about capturing real moments that tell your story. From the deep connections and milestone celebrations to the quiet, everyday moments that make up your legacy, my goal is to create imagery that makes you feel. I believe every chapter of your life deserves to be beautifully documented. 

When I'm not behind the camera or editing away in my dream office, I'm soaking up the moments with my little family. I've been married for 10 years to the man I met online (before online dating was cool!) and we have two beautiful daughters. I'm a diehard Swiftie (since 06') and I love getting lost in a book. 

I offer documentary style family photography, including in-home and studio lifestyle sessions, outdoor lifestyle sessions for families and couples, as well as wedding and elopement photography. If you’re looking for a storytelling photographer who values authenticity over perfection, let’s create something magical together.

Because the photos made them feel something...

Monica's talent is magic!

I don’t even know where to begin! Monica’s talent is MAGIC!! Her photography is truly captivating and will take your breath away every single time. I can’t describe the joy my family and I feel when we go through our precious photos. You know her photography is special when your almost 5 year old comments on it and says “WOW, mommy”! Thank you for sharing your talent- thank you for capturing our family! We adore you!!!

My favorite Memory Catcher

Monica is more then 5 stars. This woman is magic! She is a true family/lifestyle photographer. Right before our shoot she happened to post an IG about not worrying about the unexpectedness of kids, which was my worry. Right at meeting her she had calmed us all (which isn’t easy being a boy mom), music going, and the boys smiling. I left happy and stress free knowing our pictures were in good hands. She is my new favorite memory catcher.

She's our lifelong photographer

Monica is seriously the BEST! She’s been photographing my family for the past 5 years. She’s makes the photo sessions fun and helps us stay relaxed so she can capture the best moments during each session. We are so thankful that we have her as our lifelong photographer.
