Capturing the Beautiful Chaos of Motherhood – Where Every Moment Becomes a Memory. Orange County's Top Motherhood & Family Photographer.

IT''S HARD AND CRAZY AND SO TIRING BUT IT''S WORTH LIVING FOR. 

Hi, I’m Monica – a wife and mom of three amazing kids and the heart behind the lens. As a mother, I know just how fast time flies and how precious each moment with your little ones truly is. That’s why I’m passionate about capturing and preserving the beautiful, raw, and sometimes chaotic moments of motherhood. Every photograph I take tells a story and I’d be honored to help you preserve yours through meaningful, heartfelt images that will stand the test of time. I can't wait to work with you and create something to remember!

"We have been getting our annual family photos done with Monica for about 3 years now and every time I am always amazed at how beautiful our photos come out. Monica not only captured some great moments with my son actually looking, but we had multiple shots with our two kids that were so beautifully captured, I was amazed to say the least. I will never go to anyone else but Monica! "

"My family and I absolutely love Monica! She has the best communication, scouts the location the days prior to the shoot, arrives early and lets me know where to park, and provides styling feedback which is always helpful to know what photographs best. During the shoot she is so patient and makes the whole family feel comfortable.  She directs us well and also gets those in between moments which turn out to be some of my favorites. She has captured our family for the last 3 years and I’m blown away each and every time I receive our photos!

"From the moment I made an inquiry until the date of the shoot, it felt as if I had known Monica for years. She was very thorough and assisted us in finding the best location for the little humans we had with us that day. During the shoot, Monica shined even brighter! Photography is an art and I’m so glad to have found someone who not only loves what they do but can do it with such grace and passion! We highly recommend her!"
