Hello and thank you for stopping by. I started my business as a professional photographer in 2005 after earning my BA in Visual Communications. I love, love, love photography because it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and capture some of the most important moments of their lives.
A bit about me, my passion for creativity started at an early age. As a child, I remember dreaming of one day becoming a fashion designer and taught myself how to sketch clothing designs. Even today, the fashion industry continues to inspire my work as a photographer. I also have a deep love for travel. I've been fortunate to visit beautiful islands like Bora Bora, Tahiti, Jamaica, and St. Maarten. These travel experiences have really helped me understand the importance of providing quality service and catering to my clients' needs.
I pride myself on being professional and quality driven to give my clients the best experience possible. I currently specialize in Maternity and Newborn photography because I love helping women feel confident during such a transformative time. There's something also special about capturing the beginning of a new life and documenting these new beginnings for a family.
Simply put, I'd love to be your photographer. Click the let's chat button below so that we can plan your session and start the booking process.

Celebrate the beauty of your journey and the incredible life you are creating. Investing in maternity photos is a beautiful way to celebrate this incredible chapter in your life.
Allow me to turn your story into art—capturing the elegance, joy, and connection that make your journey unique. Together, we’ll create timeless images that will serve as a lasting reminder of this beautiful season of transformation.
THE MATERNITY EXPERIENCE
You’ve spent months dreaming of this moment—holding your precious baby in your arms and feeling their tiny fingers curl around yours. These moments are purely special but they go away so fast.
Your baby will grow so quickly—their little toes will no longer fit in the palm of your hand, and their newborn features will change. Capturing these details now is a gift not just for you, but for them—a way to hold on to the beauty and perfection of these early days forever.
Let me help you turn this beautiful chapter into timeless art that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Monica did such a wonderful job with our maternity pics 📸 She was so respectful and accommodating to our needs. She was constantly asking me if I was okay and if I needed to sit down or take a break or have a drink of water. The whole experience was fun and comforting. Highly recommend! Also shout out to her makeup artist for slaying my makeup!

Your pregnancy is a unique and personal experience. It is my goal to capture the inner strength and beauty of every mom that walks into the studio and to provide them with timeless works of art. I love creating an unforgettable experience for my clients that celebrates the strength and beauty of pregnancy. All sessions take place at my studio which is located just past the downtown area of South Bend, Indiana. The session fee will secure your appointment. After the photo session is complete, you will have the opportunity to review and order your images at the end of your session.
MY STYLE
My maternity photography style is elegant and classic with a fashion-inspired twist. I also welcome ideas from my clients as long as they aline with the style of photography I offer.
SCHEDULING
Maternity sessions are best captured between weeks 27 and 32 of your pregnancy. In an effort to provide the best possible service, I limit the number of sessions I accept each month so please book your appointment early.
WARDROBE
I provide a variety of maternity gowns, fabrics, and accessories that each mom has access to during their session. After you book your session, I will email you a prep guide that outlines the items you will need to bring with you.
RETOUCHING
Professional photo retouching is included on all final ordered images. No need to worry about blemishes or stretch marks as these will all be removed during the editing process.
NEWBORN - All sessions come with three scenes | Use of newborn props and wardrobe | Professional editing
Your newborn baby will only be this teeny and tiny once. It is best to photograph your newborn within the first 14 days after birth while they are snuggly, soft, warm, bendy, curly, and perfect-in-every-way. In an effort to ensure a quick turnaround, I only accept 10 newborn photography sessions each month so it is a good idea to reserve your session at least three months before your due date. Once you arrive home from the hospital with your new baby, we can arrange a suitable time and day for your session.
Newborn photography sessions can take 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on how well the baby sleeps and to allow enough time for feeding and comforting. After the photo session is complete, you will have the opportunity to review and order your images. All newborn photography sessions take place at my studio which is located just past the downtown area of South Bend, Indiana. A signed contract and the session fee will secure your appointment.
RETOUCHING
Professional photo retouching is included on all final ordered images. No need to worry about flakey skin or marks as these will all be removed during the editing process.
