Photography you can feel

from bumps and babies

to couples and families

+ all the fleeting moments in between

 

Hi, I'm Monica!


I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE :)

 

 

A little about me:

I started taking photos because I was scared of forgetting things. Not the big milestones, but the smaller parts of life that quietly disappear over time. The way home used to feel, the people I loved in ordinary moments, the little habits and routines you don’t realize you’ll miss until later on.


I am a 30 something mom who was raised south of Boston (and will never shut up about how it's the greatest city in the world.) I currently live in Northern Virginia with my husband, our daughter and our sweet pup, Winnie. If I'm not taking pictures I am working out, reading, and/or listening to Noah Kahan on repeat.


I am truly honored to be chosen to take your photos and I do not take the responsibility lightly. With that said, I WILL be rolling on the ground trying to get your kids to laugh and making your shoot the funnest experience ever.

 

My promise to you

 

I know family sessions can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, especially with little ones involved. Please don’t worry about perfectly posed moments or perfectly behaved kids. Some of the most meaningful photographs come from the quiet in-between moments: the cuddles, laughter, movement, and love you share naturally as a family. My goal is simply to create a calm space where you can be yourselves.


Let’s preserve these moments, just as they are

Things you need to know about me

Some of my favorite images happen in between everything else- I'll be clicking away while I hold space for you to be yourselves.

Kids don't have to be on their "best behavior." Everyone can come as they are-attitudes, spunk, personality + all.

You will receive all your photos from the session- if it's a good one, it'll be in your gallery. I never charge extra for you to decide which memories don't make the cut.
