About Monica

Wife. Mom. Photographer.

I'm a mom of four boys and a wife to the most amazing Dad/Husband around. I love days spent with family or a night out with friends. I live on coffee and my kids crumbs. Having four small children, I am constantly reminded how quickly time passes. In my spare time, which is rare, you can find me curled up on the couch looking through pictures of my babies with a smile on my face. I cherish the moments that we dream of reliving over and over again. Every moment will pass, an attribute that makes each one so unique, but an image can keep the memory alive.

My love for pictures and preserving memories comes naturally. I'm a proud daughter of a 'Momtographer,' meaning most of my life was documented with my mom's 35mm film camera, then put into beautiful scrap books. I still love flipping through the many albums she created and am incredibly grateful that she preserved my childhood so beautifully. I now love documenting my own family. Every year as an anniversary present, my husband and I create an annual photo album. Each new album seems to be our "favorite". We both love looking back at our growing family and relishing on how cute our kids are :). Please tell me we are not alone in being pathetically obsessed with our children?

These are the reasons I love photographing families. I love my job. My "office" is full of smiling faces and tiny giggles. The connection of a family or a baby's first steps or an announcement that someone is expecting! I feel honored to capture these moments for my clients. My favorite images are those full of smiles and joy, the kind of pictures you can almost hear the giggles coming through the picture. Most of the images I deliver are more lifestyle as opposed to portraits to portray your family unique personality. I love shooting in great light and beautiful locations. My absolute favorite time to shoot is close to sunset, golden hour. The lighting is perfect and creates the warm and fuzzy feelings that your family should have when looking back at your beautiful memories.
