Wendy Taylor from Prosper Corperation




I think today I am going to let someone else do the writing for me. This is a gorgeous thank you note I received from Wendy taylor from Prosper Corporation after taking her headshots.
"Dear Monica,
Thank you so much for the wonderful photo session and fabulous photos. I love them! I am so excited about having a bunch of publishable headshots to use! I can't choose just one...Thank you again for teaching me how to pose, and for making my first headshot photo shoot such a pleasant experience."
This letter made my day. I know how nervous my first time clients can be especially if they are not use to being photographed. Wendy realized that she was missing out on some key opportunities because many speaking engagements and publishing opportunities require a headshot.

Baby Jesse






These cheeks slay me. Jesse was so unbearable darling the entire time although he did insist on his cheerio snack, all talent have their demands. Even though I tend not to photograph this age in studio I think we both did very well.

Nicolas and Quentin Ertoz











These baby boys could not ask for a more loving family. Their grandparents flew in from Turkey to meet these little darling who did amazing well during the photo shoot. They were happily handed around from grandparents and auntie but they were never happier then with mom and dad. Each time I photograph families I am amazed by what I can see in the down moments. The times when no one thinks I am shooting. You can see the absolute love dad has for his boys and the gentle way grandpa's hands wrap around them. The magic of photography always amazes me.
