Hi - I'm Mona, your fellow mom-friend who is truly also in the thick of motherhood right now & Your Vancouver-based Family and Motherhood photographer.


As a mother of two toddlers and storytelling family photographer, I understand how fleeting these moments are—the quiet connections, the gentle touches, the love that fills the in-between.


My approach is stress-free, natural and documentary-style, capturing raw emotions, soft light, and the beauty (and chaos) of everyday life.


If you’re worried about chaos, don’t be—I live for it. Wiggly toddlers, snack breaks mid-session, newborns who refuse to sleep? Been there, captured that. My superpower is turning real, unscripted moments into the kind of photos that make you feel something. 

No more awkward posing: have fun during your next family photoshoot with Mona, your Vancouver-based family and motherhood photographer.
