WE LOVE OUR PHOTOGRAPHS! Monique is amazing, professional, fun and creative! What a great experience!

Monique is so kind and talented! Finally found a photographer that is just my style and speed!!! Efficient and savvy! Will stop looking for my photographer- she is a gem and exceeded my expectations...which are high! ;) Thank you, Monique! So lucky to have found you!!

My fiance and I booked with Monique for our engagement photos and we had the best experience. Monique was so kind and professional and her environment was so welcoming.

The final product was absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to book with her again! Less

Monique is a true artist. From the moment I stepped in her studio, I was inspired. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. I explained what I was looking for and she made it come to life. It was my first time taking solo-professional portraits and I'm so glad it was with her. Her whole process made me feel comfortable and I cannot wait to work with her again!!

Monique is an artist and a true professional with an eye for photography. She has a way of making a woman feel extremely comfortable in what can be a vulnerable setting.

Monique made me feel so beautiful, sexy, and comfortable. She captured images of me I did not think were possible. Her work is incredibly beautiful, elegant, timeless, classy yet sexy and tasteful. The entire experience working with Monique from our consultation to hair, make up, studio, her gallery of outfits and props exceeded any expectation I had for this photo shoot. The images and album she created was jaw dropping and I was left speechless.The quality of her work and products are beyond top notch. She is a true perfectionist and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Monique for any photograph needs. She knows how to capture the true beauty of a woman and make her feel empowered in the process. Thank you Monique! Less

If I could give Monique 10 stars I would. Monique is a master of her craft and I feel lucky she and her family have found their home in beautiful North County San Diego considering her talent puts her on par or better than talented photographers I have worked with in New York and Los Angeles.

If I could give Monique 10 stars I would. Monique is a master of her craft and I feel lucky she and her family have found their home in beautiful North County San Diego considering her talent puts her on par or better than talented photographers I have worked with in New York and Los Angeles. Not only does she provide a warm and professional environment but she also shows a clear dedication to her clients. Her systematic and detailed process reminds me that she is trained in tech but found her calling with photography as art. The perfect combination! Blown away by the experience with Monique and her wonderful studio and team. Less

Monique photographed my maternity and family photos - she is phenomenal! She was so patient with my toddler and she made me feel so beautiful, even though I was not been feeling like my best self during pregnancy. Monique paid a lot of attention to detail in posing us and in producing the final images. We are obsessed with the photos we received!!

Monique made my boudoir mini shoot experience really exceptional. The attention to detail and posing and the fabulous make up artist that helped get me glammed up were such a treat.

I have never felt more beautiful or special! Monique is a true artist behind the camera. She listened to what I was envisioning and was so patient with me. After having lost 125 lbs.

I absolutely loved shooting with Monique and I can't wait to do it again! She did a great job of making me feel super comfortable, it was a fun experience and she's talented and skilled. Highly highly highly recommend! Also less important but not for nothing, lots of easy parking.

Being someone who discovered Monique on Instagram, her work speaks for itself. What makes her the best of the best is her ability to take her vision, as well as the vision of her client and completely direct you the whole way through.

Achieving breathtaking results you’ll have for a lifetime! The experience from the moment you walk into the studio, to the moment you step in front of the camera is so inspiring and inviting. Her beautiful and elegant display of dresses are so amazing. She is so sweet and personable, you can’t help but feel comfortable, which is essential for great photos! I beyond enjoyed my time with her and the moments she captured are incomparable. I cannot wait to work with her for all of my future shoots. Less

This was one of the best experiences I've had in my life! I have never felt more sexy and beautiful and comfortable in my own body than I did during the shoot and the results were better than I could have expected

I researched for a boudoir/maternity photographer for months and even when I found Monique, I was a bit skeptical as this would be my first photoshoot. Monique is not just a photographer, she is a true artist. I trusted her process and she made me feel so comfortable and sexy. I could not be happier with the outcome. I will cherish these pictures forever, thank you, Monique!

Having never done a photoshoot before, I was nervous, but Monique made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in. She helped me ease into the photoshoot, and I appreciated that she both referenced inspo images I had sent over prior to the shoot and had the pictures she was taking up on a screen so I can see how beautiful they were coming out in real time! She has a great artistic eye and is clearly talented and passionate in what she does. Seeing her work to capture the perfect angle, light, and mood to stunning results was truly inspiring. She was also so amazing at posing - from demonstrating the poses herself to giving cues that were easy to understand and execute. I am SO excited to get the final products! She truly made it feel collaborative and made me feel genuinely empowered. I highly recommend working with Monique! Less

I loved going here for my photo session! So much fun! It was my first time taking professional pictures but I just felt so welcomed and comfortable! Thank you Monique for the best experience!

She had coffee and snacks ready and even ordered lunch, so it was fun girl time getting ready. When it came to picture time, she had a ton of dress options (she was also proactive to discuss prior to photo day what look I wanted, ordered dresses we needed, and planned it all out) she also gave a ton of posing directions; Lift your head up, shoulder back etc, but more specific. She has an eye for sure. She was pleasant to spend the day with and she got our pictures back quickly. Can’t wait to do another session. Less

The most incredible experience from start to finish. I wish everyone could experience a shoot with Monique at least once in their lives. She knows exactly what she’s doing, is incredibly detailed, empowering, and an all-around pleasure to be around.

When I was looking for a photographer I had very unique needs. I needed someone who has experience with maternity photos AND brand photography.

I needed a cover for my pregnancy fitness program and website photos. I had a clear vision and needed the photos to reflect my brand. Working with Monique for that was the BEST decision. She completely understood what I needed and came up with amazing ideas! I felt like she read my mind. She knew exactly what would work well with my brand - even better than myself! During the shoot I felt confident, strong, and empowered due to Monique's constant reassurance. She gave so many compliments that I felt like a supermodel (which I am not lol). She gave clear instructions which I loved because there was no awkward moment where I didn't know how to pose. Monique is very detail oriented and will do everything to get the perfect photos. She is very professional and the quality of the photos is incredible! I am sure I will work with Monique again because she is the best photographer I have found (and I have worked with a lot). Less

I will definitely go back to her a third time whenever the occasion arises. Less

I highly, highly recommend booking with Monique. Thank you for these beautiful photos that I’ll treasure forever! Less

Working with Monique has been such a positive, fun, and eye opening experience. She really knows how to capture your beauty and don’t get me started on her amazing selection of dresses. It’s an expensive you won’t forget!

Monique has done multiple photoshoots for me in the past and I cannot emphasize enough that she’s truly amazing! Most recently, she did my engagement photos and they exceeded my expectations. She’s not only talented, but has a warm-hearted personality that makes me feel comfortable.

Had an awesome time with Monique! She is very welcoming and professional. Lots of wardrobe to choose from and nice studio. Felt confident and also got a lot of posing tips and help, so never had uncomfortable moments when I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. Pictures turned out amazing and diverse. Will definitely return!

Monique is SO kind, patient, generous and just an overall pleasure to be around. She makes you feel like you are the most important person she will see all day. She spent extra time with us during our shoot because my 1 year old daughter wanted to do everything except take photos, and Monique did not once make us feel rushed or in the wrong. Also, while she is the artist and photographer, she keeps in mind what YOU want for looks and shots (many photographers get lost in their own desires or preferences sometimes). Overall I just can’t say enough good things about my experience with Monique. Do not hesitate to book with her, or you’ll be like me and wish you found her sooner 🤍🙏🏽 Less

Every interaction with Monique has been an absolute pleasure. My session was such an amazing day! I’ve never felt so confident and comfortable in my own skin and it’s all thanks to Monique and her incredibly skilled make up artist Victoria. My photos are literally photos of my dreams, very well excelled my expectations. I can’t wait to work with Monique again!

It's hard to express in words how amazing my experience with Monique was! She did my family photos 2 years ago and I love them so much I came back for an intimate photo shoot. Monique was communicative, professional, and worked hard to get every photo just right.

Monique is amazing!!! I'm not very comfortable in front of the camera and she makes you feel so at ease. I was nervous being so very pregnant and after I felt so excited. She is very professional in the way that she understands your vibe and what you're looking for. I look forward to working with Monique again and definitely recommend!

Great experience shooting my wife’s maternity pictures. Beautiful pictures and we received them very quickly. Thank you Monique!

Monique is the sweetest person and an INCREDIBLY gifted photographer! Her artistic eye and direction is unmatched. My maternity shoot was a dream thanks to her and her amazing personality for making me feel like a queen! You will wish you were able to have them all from how beautiful her work is!

First of all I have to say Monique is one of the most amazing photographers I have worked with. She made my baby and I feel comfortable throughout the entire photoshoot. I am so thankful that she was able to capture these special moments. Thank you Monique!! I loved our pictures ❤️❤️

Amazing!!! If I could give a 100+ stars I would ! I’m a mommy to be , just had my maternity shoot with Monique !

She’s amazing and very friendly! Overall best experience ever !!

Very professional and treated me like a true queen. I have never taken professional pictures and was nervous but she made me feel comfortable and was patient with me. Monique made this pregnancy very special! My husband loved it too and he hates taking pictures lol. I can’t wait until I book my next family photo session I’m really looking forward to holiday pictures!

My wife and I went to Monique for a photography session. It was great!! she is professional, we felt relaxed, she forced me to smile, and most of all the photos are exceptional! She really captured us. We appreciate your work very much Monique. Thank You!

Had a amazing experience with Monique, she made me feel so comfortable and really listened and collaborated with me on some of the ideas, she dressed me in beautiful gowns and made me feel like a model. Such a incredible time and talented person.
