Hi - I'm Mona.

I'm a mom of two rowdy boys (and currently expecting a third!), I survive on coffee and secret spoonfuls of nutella, and I love telling families' stories through beautiful, natural images. It's so nice to meet you!


You've come to the right place if you're thinking "meh, do I even NEED maternity photos?" (Yes!) or you're worried that your toddler will run the show during your photoshoot (they will - let them!) or that you'd feel awkward in front of the camera (I will make it as relaxed and fun as possible for you!)


Still on the fence? Scroll down to read some kind words of past clients - or get in touch to ask my any questions you might have for any family and motherhood photographers out there!

I'm so excited you've found me!


You might be wondering how I got so passionate about intimate, emotive and documentary-style motherhood portraits and family photography.


Well, let me tell you my story (and those of so many moms I've come across in the last few years). The photo you see on the right here - that's me! - photographed during a maternity session during my very first pregnancy in 2020. I now have two amazing children - yet still, this is the one photo I've found in my archives (oh, and I went deep!) that shows JUST me, looking as beautiful as I've possibly ever felt in my life, embarking on the journey that is motherhood.


Now, imagine there were photos of you, in whatever stage of motherhood you currently are, that made you feel beautifully seen and documented as the wonderful mother you are - pregnant, with a newborn, with a toddler, with older kids, or even as a grandmother. That's where I come in to document you, your family and your motherhood journey with my signature emotive, documentary-style family photography approach.

Here’s how it works:


  • If you know someone who would love a session, send them my way
  • When they book and mention your name, they’ll receive a $50 gift toward their session—a little something to welcome them in
  • As a heartfelt thank-you, you’ll also receive a $50 gift toward your next session
  • There’s no limit—share with as many friends as you’d like, and I’ll keep the gratitude coming 💛
