"Monica does amazing work! We were so pleased with our son's senior portrait and outdoor session from two years ago that we decided to have Monica do our daughter's as well. She made this session fun and painless for our daughter, who was less than thrilled to have her picture taken. Monica and her staff were easy to work with. She responded quickly and made this whole process a great experience! I would highly recommend her to capture your important moments."
