Monika is amazing – we booked her for both our newborn session at our home as well as a beach session with our extended family. Our photos are unreal. They truly capture the emotion of our children and the love of our family. I love the natural, candid style of photography- nothing was forced and the images don’t look staged or posed. Monika is truly talented. She is professional and so easy to work with. We will be booking annually for our family holiday photos. Everyone adored her and her work speaks for itself. Highly recommend.

Jax maternity+newborn+family session
7 years later and I’m still raving about Monika! We’ve worked with her four times since our newborn session and she consistently delivers above our expectations. She offers color/outfit recommendations, makes the sessions fun and natural, and provides beautifully edited photos. The most difficult part is choosing which photos to keep!
Booking Monika for our maternity and newborn photo sessions was a wonderful decision. She spends time getting to know her clients and strives to capture authentic emotions in her photographs. Monika made us feel comfortable and natural (which is a feat since I tend to be awkward in front of a camera!). Not only was she great at giving my husband and I some direction without making us feel forced or overly posed, she was fantastic with our baby during the newborn session- gentle, soothing, and exceptionally patient. We will treasure our photos forever!

Thank you for pouring your heart and soul into capturing our wedding, Monika! These gorgeous photos will be treasured for generations. It means a lot to me, Jake, and our family. I had so much and you were so wonderful and sweet to work with

Neptune Beach family session
Monika is not only professional, kind, playful, and patient- she truly is an artist, and it shows in the incredibly intimate and evocative images she captures. I feel like she not only saw us, but that she also appreciates the unique beauty within each of us, and that she managed to capture us as individuals, and as a family- and all the individual relationships that make up that unit, between siblings, parent-child, and lovers. It’s hard to express the level of my appreciation and gratitude. I look forward to remaining in touch with her and asking her to continue to capture us over the years.

Atlantic Beach engagement and maternity session
Monika captured beautiful moments of my fiancé and I that we will get to keep forever. She helped us pose throughout the session which took stress and discomfort away from the two of us. She matched our energy throughout the session keeping it lighthearted and casual yet structured. This method captured our emotions and love for each other rather than just the two of us in poses. We had so much fun throughout the session and we were blown away by the pictures she returned to us. We highly recommend a session with her!

Jacksonville maternity and newborn photographer
Absolutely incredible! Monika is everything you could hope for in a maternity photographer; she is kind, caring, professional, and extremely talented. On our pre-shoot planning call, she gave me some great tips on dresses and we texted pictures of a few I liked back and forth to find just the right one (ok two). We met at Atlantic Beach and I was a little nervous bcs of Covid but she was so professional and always aware of safety, while still effortlessly reading the clouds and environment, and directing my husband and I to get all of the angles she needed for great photos. She really helped us feel comfortable and have fun, and her pictures are just gorgeous. We can’t wait for our newborn photo shoot with her too! She is reasonable cost for the time spent and expertise, and well worth it for the memories made in the moment and cherished in time through her beautiful photos. Thank you Monika!! ❤️❤️

Ponte Vedra pregnancy photo session
Monika is an incredibly talented Photographer! From the beginning of the process she was nothing but professional, and welcoming! This was the first time I’ve gotten professional pictures done, and she made it feel so natural. She was willing to help with ideas for the shoot, from the locations, to props! She went out of her way to do research to find the best business for my flower crown, and the best location that fit me. She took the time to get to know me and my partner before the shoot, so it felt more personal. During the shoot she made both my partner and I feel so comfortable, and beautiful, which matched her pictures. If anyone is looking for a maternity/family photographer I will always recommend her!

Monika has been my go-to photographer for the last few years through maternity and family sessions. She has an amazing eye and the ability to capture more than just your trappings. She recently helped me see myself as more than just a mom. Her easygoing manner and fresh, effervescent approach to sessions really helps put you at ease and makes the time fly

We had an amazing experience with Monika for our newborn photoshoot! As first-time parents, we were a bit nervous about the process, but Monika made everything so comfortable and seamless. She was incredibly patient and gentle with our baby, and her attention to detail was outstanding. The photos turned out beyond our expectations—beautiful, natural, and truly captured the essence of this special moment in our lives. We couldn’t be happier and will treasure these memories forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented, caring photographe

Ponte Vedra Beach family session session
Almost a year later we still treasure the photos that Monika captured of our family on Ponte Vedra Beach. From one session she captured so many emotions and everything from the perfect Christmas card photo to some beautifully artistic images of our children which we cherish. Would highly recommend.

Jacksonville newborn family photos
Monika is fantastic! I was a little nervous about our newborn session, I wasn’t sure what to expect and how my newborn would react. Monika is calm and professional, working with her was great. She is so talented and captures so much love and joy in the photos. We are absolutely in love with our images from the newborn session. We will continue trusting her with photographing our family in the future.

maternity, newborn, family, children session
We used Monika for both our maternity and newborn photos and we knew she was talented from viewing her portfolio online but WOW did she go above and beyond. We would invest in her photography over and over again to have those special moments in our life captures forever through her talented and emotional photography. She made us feel so comfortable during both sessions and made the process fun and enjoyable. The hardest part was choosing the photos we wanted from all of the options she shared with us- each one was more special than the next. We will be hiring her for our family photo sessions for years to come. We love Monika!!!r
