Capturing the little things in life...
I'm here to help you create memories you'll love forever!

I love coming up with new ideas, finding new props, and scouting new locations for my clients because I enjoy going above and beyond to have that perfect session and get that "WOW!" image.
Weddings are some of my favorite things to capture, so I take the time to truly customize your experience. Getting to know you both, phone calls, meetings, whatever helps get to know you better, I'm all about it. I want your day to be everything you dreamed, and I want to be there to capture it.

Monica was wonderful. She helped my now fiancé in planning a surprise proposal and captured every moment that we now get to cherish forever!
I had worked with Monica before for family portraits and headshots, so when it came time for my fiance to book a photographer for our surprise proposal, it was a no-brainer who to choose. The best thing about working with Monica is the way she makes everyone she's working with feel comfortable - because we're all relaxed she can capture beautiful moments where our personalities really shine through. Monica is also very professional and timely - both at the shoot, and afterwards with her delivery of photos. I highly recommend her!
Monica has been a dear friend for years and I have always loved her eye for capturing special moments. When it came to my own wedding, Monica attended as a guest, but you know I couldn't have her there and not snap a few incredible photos. Her and I had planned a special photo shoot with all of my groomsmen the morning before the wedding. We got married at a summer camp (something my wife and I are both very passionate about) and had the most fun running around camp and having our own silly photo shoot in the custom robes I got for my guys. Monica also has a background in camp and really knew how to capture everyone's inner camper, including her husband (one of the groomsmen)! Thank you Monica for keeping this plan a secret for the months leading up to the big day. It meant so much to my wedding party and meant the world to me ❤️
We absolutely LOVE Monica. Me and my now husband are not every comfortable when it comes to photos and posing. We picked Monica’s package that come with an engagement session as well as our wedding. Engagement session was amazing, she was so easy to talk to and immediately made us feel comfortable. We could not stop talking about this session and how we couldn’t wait for the wedding. Fast forward to this past Friday Oct 25 Monica came into the wedding suit and immediately was asking if I needed anything, how I’m feeling, checking to make sure I ate and had water. She made everyone in the room so incredibly comfortable. My mother who hates photos as well absolutely loves Monica. She was organized, kind and funny. The guys absolutely loved her and my husband could not stop talking about how she helped in every aspect. Would 1000% recommend her for all of your event photography.
Monica went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams! Not only was she a great photographer, she would help my groomsman and I with things we were unsure about. You won’t find a friendlier, kinder, and more enthusiastic person to be a part of your wedding. Not only did we think she was great, even our wedding guests couldn’t stop talking about how great it was to have her as part of our wedding.
Monica was such a pleasure to work with for our engagement photos. My fiancée was running 15 minutes late and she kept me calm and smiling the entire time! The photos came out beautiful, and I can’t wait to work with Monica again to capture more beautiful memories.
Monica was so great to work with for Bridal Budoir! She made me feel very comfortable and the time flew by during our session. Her process was very easy and she completed the edits quickly. Would highly recommend working with her!
Overall, happy with the pics. while some poses are not us, we had many great pics to chose from. The photographer really knew the city well and how lighting is affected throughout the day if that's where you wan to go. compared to other prices, it was on par with other companies and best of all, no surprises at any point throughout the process.
Monica is truly amazing! She’s fun, easy going, and so accommodating! As a wedding coordinator, I work with new vendors almost every weekend but I hope to work with Monica regularly.
Monica has done photography for my husband and I for 5 years. Couples shoot, engagement, wedding! She will eventually do maternity and newborn for us! She is so personable and makes us so comfortable. We have absolutely loved all of her work, can not speak highly enough of her and the memories she has helped us keep forever.
She goes above and beyond and makes the entire shoot a breeze (even though we can be awkward in front of a camera). I recommend her to everyone I love and can’t wait to continue working with her.
Absolutely over delivered on every single request! Photos turned out absolutely amazing. Using again in the future is an easy YES.
How do I put 6 stars? It only let me do 5. Photos came out amazing for our surprise engagement! Monica altered her work outing in Las Vegas and flew into Nashville to help make our moment perfect. Can’t thank her enough for everything she did.
Monica is the best! My fiancée had her hiding behind the scenes when he proposed so she could capture the moment. And after we did a photoshoot where she so perfectly captured our joy and excitement! She also knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera!
Monica was amazing. She listened to what I wanted and made it happen despite nature working against us. Monica will make you feel like a model, she’s thoughtful and comes prepared. Her easy going and kind demeanor will put you at ease. I’m going to cherish these photos for years to come!!
Monica is the absolute best. She brought so much energy to the shoot, was attentive and prepared to capture the things that were important to us, and adapted her approach so that she could make us feel comfortable and bring the best poses and shots to life.
We gave Monica a pretty sizable challenge: a wedding party in a relatively small space that’s not ever used for wedding parties. Low ceilings, not a ton of space for people to move, north facing windows bringing in weird light, and the space had its own weird lights too. Yet she captured all of the fun, warmth and celebration we experienced that day in several beautiful ways. She brought immense creativity, not just within the space but also finding great photo backdrops just outside of our venue (including a wonderful recreation of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover). She took time to get a ton of information before the event, and didn’t balk at any of the challenges that came with our unconventional plans. My father passed away shortly after the event, and she left that personal, memorable touch on some of our last photos of him. We’ll treasure her work for the rest of our days.
Monica was amazing and made the day more enjoyable and way less stressful. I would recommend her to all of my close family and friends. She also has a great eye for what looks good and great attention to detail!
Monica is an absolute boss, while also being friendly and professional. She can manage a wedding day with style and get all your must-have photos taken, even when you’re on a tight schedule!! She makes sure to keep you in the loop with how the day is going and works very well with family remembers and friends. She captured my engagement photos, 2 boudoirs sessions that were gifts to my now husband, and my wedding day. She’s the woman you want by your side on your big day!
Monica has taken our engagement photos, or wedding photos, and both of our childrens new born photos! She has watched our family grow! Having her there during these milestones have been so great! Cannot say how much we love and cherish the photos she has taken for us! We love you Monica!
Monica absolutely CRUSHED it as our wedding photographer. She took the time to understand what we wanted and to get to know us. She is organized, prompt, clear, communicative and an all-around fun person to work with. She made sure we knew exactly what to expect and even helped us pivot flawlessly when things didn't go as planned which gave us so much peace of mind on our wedding day. She kept us laughing and knew just how to weave every photo opportunity into the day unobtrusively so that we felt like we spent our whole wedding day actually in the moment! She is a rockstar!
Monica did an amazing job on our engagement photo session! I would use her again for other photo sessions in the future! :)
Monica did an amazing job bringing to life our vision for engagement photos. She was easy to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the session.
Monica is a great photographer and an even better person! She helped with our engagement photo session, in addition to handling our wedding ceremony & reception photo needs! Her bubbly personality makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera lens. Monica clearly communicates what she's hoping to capture, and the final photos she's provided us have always surpassed our expectations! We'd highly recommend Monica for your future photo needs.
Monica took my proposal pictures and she did an amazing job!! She got back to me with the proofs in a timely fashion and edited them to my liking! I was so happy to have her as part of my special moment! I recommend her to everyone because she does incredible work with all types of photo sessions
We initially hired Monica 5 years ago for our maternity shoot and baby shower - since then, she has captured the most special moments of our (and our family's and friends'!) lives - from engagements to bachelorette parties to annual family sessions. She is SO easy and fun to work with and I would, have and will continue to recommend her to everyone.
Monica was so easy to work with and helped me feel calm and prepared for our wedding. On the day of, she stepped up to essentially act like the coordinator that I needed. She went above and beyond the photographer role and helped someone who knew nothing about weddings on her wedding day to feel confident and calm. Also, our pictures make me so happy everytime I look at them. The colors look beautiful and she really captured how happy that day was.
My fiancé and I asked Monica to shoot our wedding and she was fantastic! From the moment we contacted her to receiving the finished photos, she walked us through every step and answered every question we had. No ask was too big or too small for her. We even had a couple of sneak peak photos shortly afterwards which made the final photos well worth the wait. Thank you so much Monica!
Monica’s services were gifted to us by my husband’s sister’s family. We had a small intimate wedding/reception at Dovetail Brewery in Chicago and what can we say, Monica was a rockstar! Initially, we were just going to do disposable cameras and a hashtag but honestly, having Monica a part of our day was wonderful! We had a call with her a couple days before and outlined a shoot list of must haves. The day of, Monica was early, very attentive, and was extremely accommodating. Once my husband and I showed up on that very rainy day, she leapt in, hit all our shots, got us some beers, help dole out orders to our set up crew (we were late, and I was the planner; don’t do that by the way) and really helped push through to the start. Ceremony shots were perfect and afterwards, family shots! The space was dark so lighting was a chore but each of our photos turned out beautifully. Turn around was completely acceptable and timely. Monica is all that and a bag of chips! Kind, caring, attentive, and all around one of the best choices (gift!) we ever made for our wedding. Let her be one of yours!
My fiancé and I hired Monica to shoot our engagement photos at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis. She traveled for the shoot and was on time, professional, and prepared! She truly didn’t miss a beat. She was so relaxed and fun to work with, she made us feel comfortable and confident. There was never a moment where I felt like a shot wasn’t “us” or was uncomfortable, which was really important to us. My fiancé enjoyed it as much as I did, which is saying a lot for a man who hardly enjoys taking selfies! Ultimately, I would recommend Monica to any friend getting engaged, married, or having a baby! She was so much fun to work with and we will definitely be hiring her again! 11/10 for quality of service and overall attitude. She’s a true gem and a great fit for any occasion!
Monica listen to our ideas and wishes for what we wanted her to capture from our wedding. She added her own ideas and the photographs are perfect, allowing us to relive that very special evening.
Monica took beautiful photos for our engagement photo session in June 2020, and we're looking forward to her handling our September '21 wedding as well! She has a great eye, gives helpful direction, and also has a great taste in music!! \mm/
Monica did our engagement photos in December 2019 and our wedding on September 19, 2020! She is attentive, professional, and talented! She worked closely with our videographer to make sure they both got every shot and captured the whole day. I would highly recommend her!!!
