My photography is designed for creatives, story-tellers and dreamers. I capture the ‘in-between’ moments that evoke emotion, creativity, whimsy & romance. Embracing and celebrating your unique story means I strive to create an atmosphere that is relaxed, comfortable and easy to feel like yourself in! Nothing excites me more than working with like-minded people, that believe photography should be about real and natural story-telling with a little edge.

It was an absolute pleasure to have our day captured by Monica and Astrid. They are a dynamic duo and do a great job of making sure they capture the intimate moments of your day! They’re both professional and kind and made us feel special on our wedding day. We are very happy with the images we received and will cherish them for a lifetime!

Excellent Overall
I want to start off by saying that both Monica and Astrid were amazing. Astrid was my photographer, while Monica did the editing. Astrid was punctual, which is a good start, though my wife was not lol. That didn't matter, Astrid was super patient and by the time we got down to meet her in the lobby of the hotel she was ready to go. We hung out for a bit and explained our vision, which was basically "just take some bad ass photos and don't force us to get into any cheesy ass poses, because we won't". She was not only ok with that, but she loved the freedom and it shows. The way she is able to capture the natural light of the sun, hit some amazing angles and give us multiple versions of different scenarios was on point. She was super friendly and as awkward as it must have been for her to be the 5th wheel in a wedding party of 2 (plus me and the wife), she did great at joining in conversations on the way to location without feeling like she was forcing herself in. After all is said and done, she was professional, personable, accommodating and overall bad ass!
Monica was the master editor of the album. She was able to pump out 100+ pics in just under a week. We loved the edits, thought we wanted a bit more color and minor changes. Once we voiced that to Monica, with no hesitation she went back to work and again in under a week, pumped out some fantastic work. The color schemes, the brightness and the clarity all exceeded expectations and the "Monica touch" was evident. She did a fantastic job, I would recommend both of these artist without a second thought.

Stress free and professional
We were and are over the moon with the services provided. Astrid arrived early, discussed our preferences, and what we would be comfortable doing for our shoot. She proposed some very creative ideas and captured every moment beautifully. Monica did an excellent job at editing the photos to our liking, bringing out the beautiful and vibrant colors of our backdrop as we remembered it. Thank you for helping us create the perfect wedding memory that we can now keep forever and share with our loved ones. You guys are awesome!
