the experience

If you're into the unposed, candid moments, the laughter and joy of your kids running around carefree, and creating memories with your family, then you're in the right place. Documentary family photography is my bread and butter. I specialize in capturing the little moments, the connection, and the love within a family. I offer family, maternity and newborn photography.

What To Expect

Let's capture your legacy...

I see you - working hard, putting your family first, and wishing time would slow down as your babies grow. I see you snapping photos of every new milestone, trying to hold onto these fleeting moments. But let me ask you - when was the last time you got in the frame with them?

Time moves too fast, and we only get a few precious years of our babies being this little. As a documentary family photographer, I'm here to help you preserve these moments - the giggles, the cuddles, the stubborn expressions, and the silly faces - so you can hold onto them forever.

I specialize in documentary-style family photography, capturing your family exactly as you are. No stiff poses - just real, unscripted moments where your kids can be kids and you can be present with them. As a mom myself, I know how important it is to document these years before they turn into memories.

Let's create images that tell your story and celebrate the beauty of your everyday life. If you're looking for a documentary family photographer who values authenticity and emotion, I'd love to connect.

Let's create some magic together

what to expect

01

Once you are officially booked, you can expect open communication. We'll get to know each other and being planning your session. You will receive my welcome guide, that gives you all the tips and trick to prepping for your session. If you have any questions, I'm a call, text or email away.

OPEN COMMUNICATION

02

Worried your kids will misbehave? Don't. I approach families with a documentary style. I am not about overly posing, I give prompts that get your kids laughing. Will there be chaos? Probably, but ultimately I want you to just enjoy spending time with your kids, play with them. Let them run the show.

Prompts not poses

I send you a family questionnaire to truly get to know you all before I even take out my camera. Be as detailed as possible, because my ultimate goal is to capture your story authentically and provide you with photos that are entirely you.

PHOTOS THAT ARE ENTIRELY YOU

When your session date arrives, expect to have a ton of fun. Expect a lot of laughs. Expect to feel confident and comfortable. Expect to feel cared for. Expect to walk away feeling like you just hung out with a friend for an hour. My ultimate goal is to provide you with an experience you won't forget.

A Heck of a good time

"This woman is magic"

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.

Love Notes

"I cannot recommend Monica enough"

Monica made family pictures easy (even with a husband and toddler ;) hehe! She brought a speaker to play some of my son’s favorite songs and made sure we weren’t standing awkwardly and helped facilitate “poses” and activities to capture candid photos of our beautiful chaos! Even with hiccup with venue changes, she was flexible and offered a lot of beautiful options which I appreciated since we are not from the area. The photos turned out beautiful. I cannot recommend her enough!

Love Notes

"We have 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.

Love Notes

"You don't just get pictures you get memories!"

Monica is personable and makes photo sessions so much fun! She plays music during the session to get you and the family hyped up. She captures true authentic moments. My favorite pictures are ALL pictures she has taken. She is always trying to come up with new and creative ways to enhance the experience. You don’t just get pictures you get memories!
