What they say when I'm not in the room

Some would call this a testimonial but to me...this feels more like a Love Letter!!! My Personal Branding Photography work is so special and always highly personalized and high-touch.

I refuse to do it any other way.

I had THE BEST time with this fun soul, from the shoot prep to the day of. She’s and Artist and Entrepreneur and I got to style and capture this whole shoot from scratch, every piece of art, roll of fabric, pillow and paint brush was significant to her story and her brand. We made magic that day... I love making magic with my Ladies.

Jackie wrote me these words and ya’ll I cried and cried… Happy Tears of course.

"I found Monique through work she has done for other women in my industry. I was blown away by her ability to capture not only beautiful imagery, but also the personalities of her clients. This was especially important to me because one of my fears about getting in front of the camera was not looking authentic. Based on her previous work I knew she would be able to capture fabulous images, but what I didn’t expect was how working with Monique would energize me as an entrepreneur. She is so much more than a photographer.

Monique’s process and disposition made me feel confident and at ease during the entire process. She spent time getting to know me and my brand long before the camera came out which insured all of the images aligned with my vision. Monique also gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for the photoshoot. The Getting Ready Guide was godsend for my inexperienced self.

On the day of my shoot Monique brought so much energy and creativity. She expertly guided me through everything from makeup and wardrobe to posed and candid shots. Throughout the day I had the pleasure of getting to know Monique. She is a walking treasure trove of knowledge and experience. We discussed many things including our journeys as entrepreneurs and what it was like to follow our passions. We even shed a few tears together, the good kind. Monique is extremely talented and is a source of light and inspiration, I’m blessed to know her and cannot recommend her highly enough."
