Currently booking 2024 Elopements & intimate micro weddings, 2024 boudoir sessions and maternity, engagement & newborns
I am so happy you are here!! I am a Calgary based photographer. Specializing in Elopements, Couples Sessions, Lifestyle Newborn & Boudoir Photographer. I have a beautiful in home studio where I shoot all my boudoir sessions and also lifestyle couples sessions.
My photography journey started when I fell in love with wedding photography while planning my own wedding in 2008. Shortly after our wedding I bought my first DSLR camera and just two short years later I photographed my very first wedding. My passion for boudoir started a few years later after doing a few for fun session with friends. Just like weddings, I fell in love with boudoir photography instantly. I started shooting out of a small room in our old townhouse in 2013 and in 2016 we built a new home with a designated 450 sq ft natural light boudoir studio.
Twelve years, 250+weddings & 900+ boudoir sessions later, I can happily say I have my dream job! I am that couples photographer who LOVES LOVE and all things romantic. I cry so easily at any sappy moment in a movie or TV show!
I laugh hardest at my own jokes, I am quite good at giving awkward hugs and my dogs think I am the coolest! If you connect with my style and want to bond over dogs, donuts or our latest TV binge please reach out to chat about me capturing your session!
Monica was professional, warm, punctual, confident and very easy to to get along with. When we initially set out on our quest to find the perfect photographer for our day, we searched high and low and did some serious research. The market is full of really talented photographers, and we were having a really hard time making that final decision. When I found Monica however, I just had a totally comforting feeling and felt she did such a great job separating herself from the rest. I loved how her editing style (specifically related to lightness and brightness versus a darker style) was actually right in the middle! It was natural looking and professional and you could tell her work came from an experienced photographer. Something about how timeless her style was, just made me feel confident that in 20 years, I would STILL love our photos! Her website was so professional and full of information, she was quick to respond to our questions, and what really sold me was hearing how long she had been photographing for. My husband and all of his groomsmen adored her, because she made it comfortable and relaxed for them. She had us all laughing from start to finish, and we absolutely love all of our photos. It was a long search for the perfect photographer, but I am so grateful we chose Monica!
