A little about me

Hello and welcome! I am your friendly neighborhood lifestyle portrait photographer based in Sonoma County, California. Whether it's high in the mountains, on the beach near the ocean or in a shady forest, I'll be sure to guide you every step of the way to ensure we capture beautiful memories for a lifetime.
I am a girl mom and live a simple life with my two babies, highland cows that sometimes like to join in during sessions, miniature ponies and dogs. Watching my kids grow up with animals is my greatest joy in life.

Let's Chat

"It was wonderful working with Monika for our family photos! She was fabulous with our two young kids and made the process fun for the whole family. Thank you Monika for capturing beautiful memories for our family."

"We are so grateful to have worked with Monika on so many special occasions. Monika is so easy to work with, and makes the whole family comfortable. I appreciate how well she’s worked with our toddler (and has been so great with him since he’s been 6 months old!). We are always very satisfied with our collection and variety of photos, as well as the turnaround time. These photos will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we hope to use Monika for all our future family milestones."

"My husband and I worked with Monika on

our maternity and newborn photos and we could not be more impressed with her and our pictures! Not only does Monika have a great eye but she is also meticulous about editing and each picture that she delivers turns out amazing. She is incredibly patient and makes sure that at the end of each shoot you have gotten every picture and angle that you are looking for. Our sessions have never felt rushed."

"My husband and I loved working with Monika for our newborn photos. She was very friendly and made us feel extremely comfortable. She also made sure to capture the small details of our newborn. Her editing is timeless and she captured truly authentic moments we will cherish forever! "




"Monika has been my go-to family photographer ever since I discovered her four years ago! She's a talented photographer, she always puts my son at ease during shoots and she knows the best locations, lighting and poses. Her photos turn out stunning every time! I live in Oakland, but I make the drive up to work with her every year, she's worth it! "
