Hi, I’m Monika

Portrait Photographer

I truly believe photos matter more than we realize.

About four years ago, I moved to Washington, and about a year later I bought my first professional camera. What started as something I wanted to learn quickly became something much more meaningful.

Who We Are

After losing most of my family photos in a house fire back in California, I realized how important it really is to have those memories saved.

It’s something I don’t take for granted anymore, and it’s a big part of why I care so much about what I do.

Since moving here, I’ve fallen in love with the natural beauty around Bellevue, Issaquah, and the Snoqualmie Valley—the mountains, the soft light, and the quiet moments you can only feel when you’re outside.

I work with small families, maternity, motherhood sessions, high school seniors, and anyone who wants to capture something real and meaningful.

My sessions aren’t about being perfect or overly posed they’re about capturing you as you are. I’ll guide you when you need it, but I also give you space to just be yourselves.

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to give you beautiful photos. I want to give you something you can hold onto for years to come something that brings you right back to how this season of life felt.

If you're looking for a photographer in Bellevue, Issaquah, or Snoqualmie Valley, I’d love to connect with you.
