Your Experience
Natural joy-filled photography
what to expect when we work together
Step Four
It's Your Day!
I like to give prompts rather than poses to capture movement and emotion. This way you don’t have to be a pro in front of the camera, you just need to be you! I’ll be here gushing over the magic you make.
Step Five
Gallery preview
Finally the moment we’ve all been waiting for! 1-2 weeks after your shoot, we will meet to view your photos and select your favorites. Within 24 hrs of viewing your images, you will place your product order and/or receive your online album.
Step Six
Final delivery!
Once an order has been placed with the lab, it typically takes 4-7 business days to arrive. I will hand deliver (if you live in the area) or mail your beautiful products for you to enjoy and share with your family for years to come!
Step one
Say Hello!
Submit your request under “INQUIRE” tab and be sure to give me all the details! Within the day, I will send over my investment guide and we can find which package suits you best!
Step two
Book Session
To save the date on my calendar, you will sign a contract and pay a non-refundable deposit. Now we are ready to start planning!
Step Three
Let's Prep
I want to know more about you! Learning about you helps me to capture you in your most authentic moments. We will also gather inspiration together, pick a location(s) and outfit(s)!
Common Questions
I am excited to travel wherever YOU are! Washington? I’m there. Greece? I am so so there. Travel fees apply if the session takes place 40+ miles from Black Diamond, WA.
I love spontaneous shoots, but am also available to book up to 6 months in advance for you avid planners! Check my booking calendar for regularly updated availability.
Depending on the package your select, I will choose my 20+ favorites based on composition, lighting, expression/emotion, and storytelling. Rest assured, you will get some variety!
Yes! Your retainer must be paid in full upon booking, but the package you choose can be split into 2-3 payments. Products ordered from the a la cart menu can be placed at anytime, either during your package selection, or weeks/months afterward. Keep in mind, all payments must be made before receiving deliverables (products and/or digitals).
We will preview your images 1-2 weeks after your session. If you purchase digitals from a package or a la carte menu, those will be delivered the day of your preview!
Yes! I am partnered with a couple professional labs who create the most stunning quality prints, albums, and folios! If you have purchased digitals and want to order from the a la carte menu at a later date, an online shop can be accessed from your gallery. Refer a friend and receive a FREE folio when they book.
Yes please! If you’ve purchased digitals you are free to share wherever you like! I want to see these photos everywhere, from your Instagram profile to large prints on your wall. Please give credit and tag me on your photos. This helps me spread my creativity to other amazing people like you!

I have had her take multiple shoots of me and my husband, and now our little family. She is so genuine and compassionate about what she does. LOVE her!! We will definitely be using her in the future!

"Monique will hype you up and capture the most beautiful you."
I tend to feel awkward in front of the camera, but leave it to Monique to make you feel at ease. I have had many sessions with her; just me, engagement, wedding, and family photos. She is so joyful to work with!
