I have worked with Monika for three separate shoots, including maternity, newborn, and family shoots. For each of these, the photos have turned out very well. Monika is a pro at getting the best out of situations, from helping coordinate outfits to giving the perfect amount of guidance to have it feel natural but still come out looking your best. She also works very well with children. She clearly takes pride in her craft, and it shows.

We had an amazing experience with Monika for our newborn photoshoot! As first-time parents, we were a bit nervous about the process, but Monika made everything so comfortable and seamless. She was incredibly patient and gentle with our baby, and her attention to detail was outstanding. The photos turned out beyond our expectations—beautiful, natural, and truly captured the essence of this special moment in our lives. We couldn’t be happier and will treasure these memories forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented, caring photographer!

Monika was the best! Her work is absolutely stunning and was everything we had hoped for. We had trouble narrowing the photos down because they were all so incredible. Monika was so patient with our newborn and even waited about 30 mins so we could feed him mid-shoot. She has such a calming presence and was even able to get him to fall asleep when he was fussy. She was also very patient and loving with our dogs. 10/10 would definitely recommend Monika!

Monika was wonderful to work with for our extended family session in June. She was able to direct our large group with small children, and we were able to get lovely photos despite the ridiculously high winds. She was very communicative from booking until the end when ordering photos. We will cherish these photos forever, and we won’t hesitate to book with her in the future should we visit again.

Edit: 7 years later and I’m still raving about Monika! We’ve worked with her four times since our newborn session and she consistently delivers above our expectations. She offers color/outfit recommendations, makes the sessions fun and natural, and provides beautifully edited photos. The most difficult part is choosing which photos to keep!

Booking Monika for our maternity and newborn photo sessions was a wonderful decision. We trusted her to capture those special moments and we were not disappointed! She is professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous, and it shows in her work. She spends time getting to know her clients and strives to capture authentic emotions in her photographs. Monika made us feel comfortable and natural (which is a feat since I tend to be awkward in front of a camera!). Not only was she great at giving my husband and I some direction without making us feel forced or overly posed, she was fantastic with our baby during the newborn session- gentle, soothing, and exceptionally patient. We will treasure our photos forever!

Thank you for pouring your heart and soul into capturing our wedding, Monika! These gorgeous photos will be treasured for generations. It means a lot to me, Jake, and our family. I had so much and you were so wonderful and sweet to work with.

We used Monika for both our maternity and newborn photos and we knew she was talented from viewing her portfolio online but WOW did she go above and beyond. We would invest in her photography over and over again to have those special moments in our life captures forever through her talented and emotional photography. She made us feel so comfortable during both sessions and made the process fun and enjoyable. The hardest part was choosing the photos we wanted from all of the options she shared with us- each one was more special than the next. We will be hiring her for our family photo sessions for years to come. We love Monika!!!
