About me

Everyone lives their life in their own authentic way.

You deserve to have all of your unique moments documented for a lifetime of memories.

My Story…

Hi Friendssss!! I’m Monique aka Mo!

I’m a happy go lucky, annoyingly smiley but optimistic wife and mom of two wild and adorable kids, Grace Lilly & Dawson Sean! Yes.. I named my business after my sassy little girl because I discovered the importance of documenting my life through her! And then came Dawson! They are the most outgoing and vivacious little humans I've ever met! They are so used to me constantly recording and take photos of them, it has become just a normal part of life. Can you tell I’m obsessed with them?!🤣

I have always had an affinity for photography. Having kids lit a fire in my heart that made capturing all of the fleeting moments of their childhood almost a necessity and not just a passion. In my slow moments, I find myself looking through all of the old photos and videos of my babies while tearing up with a huge smile on my face. In the end, all we have are photos of memories since passed.

My purpose has always been helping and serving others, which started in nursing but has rolled into photography! My purpose in life is not only to be a great mama and give my kids something invaluable to show their grandkids one day, but to share that gift of telling other people’s stories as well! I want my clients, who all become my friends, to leave our sessions having had a fun and authentic experience knowing that I captured their real love, personalities and relationships.

My photos are not just pretty images to hang on the wall, but they tell a story of each client’s unique life in that moment. All we have in this life are moments in time, which are all fleeting. I can’t wait to meet all of you and become besties so I can watch you and your families grow through my photos for years to come!!!

 A Few Fun Facts About Me…

01. My Studio was a Pinterest Dream of Mine.

I saved probably 5,000 pins of Boho decor for years to decorate my house and brought it to life creating my dream studio.

02. I majored in pre-med in college.

It was sooo boring so I switched to nursing and then found my true passion in photography. Doing photography doesn’t even feel like a job. Here’s your sign to find a career you love.

03. I’m a huge advocate for moms finding their new identity.

Being a mom is the best but hardest role in the world which is why every mom needs something separate from their kids. Try to find a hobby or do soul searching to find out what makes you happy outside of being a mom. Our mental health is what keeps our kids happy and healthy, so focus on you also, mama! Your happiness is important too! Photography was my hobby, look where I am now!

05. My hubby is my high school sweetheart

We’re going on 18 years and have been together since I was 14 years old! When spending your entire life with someone, there are going to be a lot of ups and downs. We are not perfect by any means and have seen super highs and super low-lows. One piece of advice if you’re reading this, go date your spouse again (without the kids) you wont regret it! 😉

04. I like to have fun..

Life is too short to not have fun and enjoy every moment of it. I love laughing, being silly and making new friends.. Also I make stupid noises when I’m trying to get a kiddo to smile. So beware! lol
