Oh wow, Hey There!!! Thank you for checking out my business page!! My name is Monica, and I am the owner of Atlas Photography. It is an honor for me to be with you through your planning process as well as during one of the most important days of your lives. Whether you are eloping at a courthouse or putting on a full sha-bang, I am here for it.
"What is your style?" It is important that my style of photography will fit your expectations and hopes for the final product. These are your forever photos, of course! My style is timeless and as true to real color as I can get while still making your skin look bright and flawless. I lean away from trendy styles in photography because trends change, and I want you to look at these photos 2 years from now, 10 years, even 50 years and still feel like they are as beautiful and timeless as when we first took them.
"What about posing us?" I could not tell you which is my favorite: posed and smile or 100% candid. They both are wonderful, and I believe they are both important to have a well rounded photoshoot and wedding album. So if you don't specify a preference over one or the other, your album will have a healthy mix of both of those types of photos.
You will also see this in my portfolios.
As far as posing you and yours, I will pose and prompt you in different ways to get some amazing photos, but I also rely on the chemistry and love between the two of you to make those poses really shine to their fullest potential. Before that scares off some of you!!!! ...I truly believe that if I create a safe, comfortable space for the two of you to do that, it happens so naturally without you even thinking about it. That's what creates exceptional moments and photos. Even if you think you are "bad in front of a camera" I promise you aren't. :)
"What kind of packages/services do you offer?" I am so glad you asked! Sometimes people really just want the package details but sometimes they want more or less than what each one offers. I am FLEXIBLE with my packages and even offer an "Additional Items" list (like an Side Menu if you will) for you to add on to my basic packages. You want a leather bound wedding album? Absolutely. Second Photographer? Yup. Engagement session? Of course! I want you to get everything that you are hoping for and not be confined to what I've put together in a package.
It is truly an honor to be with you and document your day for you. I want it to be as magical, joyful, stress-free, and entertaining as possible. Send me a message, and let's get planning!! :)

Monica was amazing. She helped us through the photo planning every step of the way. Her energy and creativity on our wedding day made our pictures so fun and memorable. The photos are beautiful. I highly recommend her services and will use her again for future Family Photos.
Monica is THE BEST. Her energy, enthusiasm, kindness, encouragement, and personality made such a difference on our wedding day! She was so excited, it made the experience all the more fun for us! She had great ideas for locations, backgrounds, lighting, etc. She is so easy to talk to, it was like having another best friend there! We loved our wedding photos, and I think she did an incredible job of capturing our day. If anything, I wish we'd had more time with her because the day just goes by too quickly! Can't recommend her enough, a great person, and a great photographer!
t communicator. She took on so much from me (sorry Mon), from my confidence issues, to family not listening during pictures, lateness, etc. I got mud on my dress during first look, and she gave me the minute I needed to compose myself because I was pretty upset. I’m not a confident person with pictures and she literally melted that away in seconds. I went to feeling like a sexy bridal model. Her instructions could not have been more clear and it was we needed. The entire wedding loved her, she is SO FUN, a truly INCREDIBLE photographer and person. I would hire Monica again if I were to plan it all over, no doubt. We met her at an expo and really hit it off, and I’m thankful everyday that I met her. A wedding day can be extremely, extremely overwhelming and maybe I showed some frustrations, but Monica didn’t. My driver couldn’t get me to my first look, so I started walking (through Manito) and Monica came to meet me! I was upset that I was late and barefoot and Monica was smiling, excited, and instantly changed the vibe. She answered questions and really put MY mind at ease, I was nervous about pictures but she somehow made me feel so natural. She’s magic. She’s lovely. She’s fun and fantastic. You’d be lucky to meet Monica and luckier for her to capture your moments.
Any questions?
Monica was fantastic to work with. She not only helped with our photographs, but she had excellent suggestions for timing for our wedding day. Highly recommend using her!
Monica was absolutely amazing. She was very flexible with the plan and knew exactly what she was doing! The photos that I got back are magical.
Absolutely Amazing!
Monica was a lifesaver! We booked her last minute for our wedding, and she completely exceeded our expectations. Her ability to capture stunning moments, like the breathtaking sunset photos, is incredible. She effortlessly blended into the background while still capturing all the essential shots. We felt like she was part of the family by the end of the night. Five stars all around!
Monica is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. Her vibe is great to have around and her photos are stunning.
I have only the best things to say about Monica - not only is she a very talented photographer, she is also just an amazing and kind person! She was such a pleasure to have at our wedding and she certainly elevated our experience. Her attention to detail, fun spirit, and flexibility helped make our day go smooth. Monica was also incredibly helpful in the planning process - she gave some great advice, helped out with our timeline, and pointed out beautiful locations for photos. And the photos she takes are just incredible, we love every picture that we got from our engagement shoot and our wedding! We couldn't be happier with our wedding gallery and would recommend Atlas Photography to anyone!
We loved working with Monica! She was super patient with our family during family photos, she made the whole process easier. I love how the pictures turned out. Monica made me feel beautiful while capturing the special moments during our day! Thank you, Monica!
Tiffany was so great to work with!! From the beginning, I could tell how organized, experienced, and detailed she is and knew that we made the right decision to book with her. Tiffany was easy going, had some great suggestions, and took a lot of the stress out of the planning process. When it came to the wedding day, we had both Tiffany and Cara- they both were super flexible, structured but still fun to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. We had a wet and cold day- Tiffany was already prepared for inclement weather and made the best out of the situation to give us special moments and beautiful shots. We couldn't recommend Atlas Photography more!!
It is truly incredible what this woman was able to do in just a couple of hours- she even drove an extra 4 HOURS to be at the venue because I got the address wrong 😭😅 Monica was professional and I loved her energy (I have an anxiety disorder and she never had me feeling on edge). The experience was magical and our photos came out better than I could have imagined. Highly HIGHLY recommend Atlas Photography.
I am so happy with my pictures. Monica is amazing. She was such a pleasure to have at my wedding taking pictures and I absolutely love the results. I couldn’t have asked for more. She sent me so many more pictures then I expected and they are amazing. I am so happy I chose her to photograph our wedding day. I have a very large family and she was able to get those huge family pictures I wanted. I knew it would be like herding cats to get them together for pictures but she did it. I would highly recommend her.
She did a wonderful job with our pictures. Would highly recommend.
Monica photographed our wedding, and I could not have asked for anything better! She caught every moment. We are absolutely blown away!!
Monica is incredibly personable and continuously strives to put your needs first. She has a wide variety of skills and is passionate about her job. She arrived at our venue early and worked continuously into the evening and provided us with amazing photographs. She captured every important moment of our big day and had an incredibly positive attitude.
I would recommend Monica to all my friends and family, she provides quality, reliability and professionalism.
We were blown away by our experience working with Monica, and had a wonderful experience.
Monica did such a great job on my photos! She’s very personable and pays attention to detail. I would highly recommend.

I LOVE WEDDINGSSSS!!!!
My love for photography has continued on for a decade, starting out as a landscape photographer and then slowly working my way into photos of humans! I was a manager at a lake resort at Priest Lake, Idaho for a two years and have lost track of the amount of weddings that I've worked. I am well versed in the schedule and flow of the day as well as making sure that you are comfortable and enjoying every minute of this special occasion.
I see photography as art. I would love to be your artist!
