It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics. Photography is about carefully crafting and YOU in a way that beautifully tells your unique story.

CREATING MODERN AND HONEST PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THOSE WHO CRAVE AUTHENTICITY

the artist

Get to know me

That is what my Lolo (my grandpa) says as he takes a picture of our family. With each click of the camera, we would hear that rolling “R” dancing through the air. And like clockwork, we all would respond with affectionate laughter, prompting us to unleash our best impression, blending those Tagalog and English accents together. 

Every time we get together for a holiday, birthday, or any type of celebration, my Lolo possesses an unwavering passion for capturing moments with his family. In the realm of social media, my Lolo immediately shares these cherished photographs, a profound way for him to share his legacy and gratitude with other family members who live across the world. 

When I look at all the pictures he has taken throughout the years, I am reminded of the countless chapters of our collective journey. The nostalgic smiles, the shared laughters, the tears of both sorrow and joy - they all exist with those frozen fragments of time. They remind me that our family, like the seasons, evolves and flourishes, leaving behind footprints of love and resilience. 

So, within the simple words - “One, two, rrrrready” - lies the the unbreakable thread that weaves our story, our heritage, and our boundless love. Because with each picture produced, our celebrations come alive.

I put all my trust into Monette's vision for my daughter's senior pictures. AT THE END OF THE BIG REVEAL I WAS ALL SMILES AND TEARS! I was literally speechless and full of emotion. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! She captured so much of my daughter's personality. From the moment I met Monette at the front door I felt like we were old friends about to have some fun girl time. Her makeup artist did a phenomenal job on my daughter's hair and makeup as well. The end result brought out my daughter's natural beauty. They both made me feel comfortable with everything they were doing. I was beyond pleased, her work is magical. She definitely has a gift when it comes to photography. I love her work!

In the span of an hour, she not only made us feel as if we’d known her for forever, but she captured the most beautiful pictures of our 4 month old daughter on her first Eid. The edited pictures were delivered within a week as promised and the quality was amazing. We will definitely be using her for family pics in the future.

Monette came in with a lot of energy and immediately made me and my fiancé so comfortable. The photos are so beautiful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!! 💛🧡
