Did you know that every year I run a floral boudie call? 🌷 I love getting to incorporate fresh florals into bo***ir sessions whether it be a cherry blossom installation (my fave ever so far!), a bridal bouquet for my brides or as simple as a bunch of tulips to hold.

What kind of flowers would you want to have in your session?

I’ve got a blank space baby ✍🏼 thank you to this gorgeous babe who brought the fun playful vibes from 1989 (taylor’s version) to her session ❤️‍🔥 the blank space mv was always one of my favorites and we pulled from that for our inspiration for the 1989 set of my eras bo***ir project 🏙️✨💙

I’m so ready for spring and summer and to feel the sun warm on my skin but I’m reminding myself that a lil cardigan bo***ir is always nice for winter ❄️🕯️🫶🏼

FAQ: do I have to share all my images publicly?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Answer: not at all! Every image I share has written permission to be shared. You decide your level of model release 🫶🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙌🏼 full release means I can share any and all images from your session. I love these releases because I get to share all the gorgeousness we’ve created!
💗 partial release means I can share anonymous shots publicly like on this instagram & my website and images showing your face can be shared on my private, women only channels like this insta ***ir and my Facebook group. I don’t allow men, shared accounts or spam-looking accounts on those pages. Your images are shared among women who are there to empower and support and hype you up 🫶🏼
🤫 anonymous release means I’ll only share images that don’t identify you, there’s less than 1/3 of your face showing. Tattoos can be edited out for your comfort but it’s all a mystery to who my anonymous girlies are 🤐
🌚 no release means exactly that, no images will be shared and you can keep them all to yourself ❤️‍🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to share certain images but not others, totally fine! Your comfort is my priority- your images are in safe hands 🫶🏼

I’ve been behind on sharing but another era is crossed off my list from my eras bo***ir project! This babe was ✨fearless✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s usually a moment during the session where I’m like “yep- THAT’S my Eras photo. That’s the one I’ve been thinking of.” But with this session, I felt like I was almost there but not quite. It was during editing and reviewing the images that I took a double take at this one. It was the fearless shot: curls flowing, sprayed out, golden. Thank you S for being my fearless muse 🫶🏼

January’s self portraits was just about having fun and feeling the joy of all the highlights of the month. As far as January goes (a notoriously sh*tty month for me, usually) this has been the best one. Less bitter, more sweet. There were many highlights that I couldn’t have imagined this time last year and while I may have slipped on a couple goals (like reading 2 books a month and going to the gym every week) I got to cross a few goals off my list career wise and it’s always a cause for celebration. This month it’s focusing on updating and getting systems in place to hit my quarterly and yearly goals for the most abundant and successful 2024. What goals have you achieved in January and what goals are you striving for in February? I’m all ears! 🫶🏼🥳

Posting has been a long time coming now 😂🙈 after a casual month long out of office time followed by a week long home renovation project, it’s finally time for me to get back to it and look back on 2023 (tbh, ew.) and make goals and plans for 2024 (already looking AMAZING I might say) ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so so ready to see what this year has in store and can’t wait to share what I have up my sleeve 🫶🏼

My clients aren't just subjects; they're muses in a story of feminine strength and beauty. Read Dakota's own words about the bo***ir experience:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Book. With. Monica. She is just fabulous. This was my first ever bo***ir session and I went into it not knowing what to expect from myself but confidence in Monica's art. I had been following her photography for some time on Instagram and knew her editing style was light/bright but romantic and filmy too. From start to finish I don't think there was any detail missed. She sets you up with a phone call, prep guide, AND gets your ideas from a joint pinterest board. She talks you through posing, makes you feel beautiful but not too serious, and is the best hype girl. She's creative in her work and sensitive to the nature of the shoot. If I could give her a 1000 stars I would. I drove two hours one way for this photo shoot and I will absolutely do it again in the future. Bo***ir ended up being a form of self-care and healing that I didn't know I needed but I'm so glad that it was Monica who walked through this with me. Book with her. You won't regret it."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now booking remaining Dec 2023 dates and through Fall 2024. Ready to book your self love date on the calendar? Our Blkfriyay saIe is still ongoing- comment ME and I'll dm you all the details!
