Testimonials
"After many
family and children’s photos sessions have left me in a heap of despair or
worse yet, wrung out in cold sweat from the intensity of the experience, it was
a delight to have Monika take our family photos this past Spring. It was as though we were strolling through
the park (she selected UVIC gardens, which was a lovely spot for spring photos)
and here and there a photo was taken of us. Monika was perfectly comfortable with my children and really
knew exactly how to play and work with them. I was shocked when the whole thing was over and I was still happy
and relaxed. Our photos were ready
for viewing the next day and we have some of the nicest shots of every member in
our family from that photo session."

“Monika shot amazing photos at my big brother's wedding this summer on
Thetis Island! And she was extremely relaxed, organized and clear in
giving directions while taking them, so she made the process of taking
a whole bunch of photos in a short amount of time a pleasure instead of
a chore. I'd highly recommend her work!”

"Monika took my head shot for a book cover and she made me look great!
I dread having photos taken, I always feel self-conscious and I never
like what I see. But Monika kept me laughing and talking and I quite
enjoyed the process and came out with photos that even I liked! Monika
has a knack for capturing your personality and about putting you in a
setting and poses that suit you and make you look like yourself, only
better! "

"Monika captures the essence of a person in her photos. I loved that she
didn't mind taking time with my children, letting us take breaks and play
and then come back to snapping shots. Monika understands how hard it is
to get your kids all gussied up for pictures and that it's not
something you want to do twice. Every time I have come away with
remarkable photos. My favorite of which was when she came to the
hospital to photograph our 2 girls meeting their baby brother. Thanks
Monika for all the time and effort you put into my family's photos and slideshow CD's."
