Hi, I’m Monica,

I’m a photographer, videographer, and embodied creative who works with visionary leaders and artists creating work that is meant to be felt as much as seen.

For over 19 years, I’ve supported people who don’t want surface-level visuals, they want imagery that feels like them, communicates depth, and stands the test of time.

I know how to translate who you are, how your work moves through people, and what it feels like to be in your presence.

My work lives at the intersection of:

  • Cinematic storytelling that prioritizes emotional arc

  • Embodiment and nervous system awareness

  • Deep listening and attunement

  • Strategic brand thinking, rooted in longevity

Working with me means you’re fully supported, start to finish. From creative brainstorming to final delivery, I’m there with you, guiding, refining, and ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.

My work is about creating a visual legacy that amplifies your impact.

I believe in:

  • Quality Over Quantity: Every image and video is curated with care. I personally hand-edit each piece to ensure it meets the highest standard. No rushed AI edits, no outsourcing. Just artistry, intention, and attention to detail.

  • Deeply Intentional Craftsmanship: In a world that prioritizes speed, I prioritize depth. Every session is thoughtfully planned, creatively guided, and designed to produce visuals that last.

  • Embodied Storytelling : Movement is a powerful part of my work (and what sets me apart). I use somatic movement techniques to help you feel at home in front of the lens.

  • The Power of Presence: Your first impression isn’t your logo, fonts, or colour: it’s YOU. I capture your essence in a way that resonates, magnetizes, and expands your reach.

  • Jaw-dropping Results: After almost 20 years behind the lens, I know what moves people (to join your world, to be in your programs, to buy your offers).

A Deeper Look at My Approach

My Story

  • 2006

    The Leap
    Started my business with no niche, no plan, and no idea what I was doing. I photographed everything: fitness shoots, families, weddings, little league games. I kept myself busy, but the confidence took time.

  • 2016

    The First Retreat
    I was invited to Costa Rica to capture my first-ever retreat. It was a turning point. I realized my deepest calling: documenting transformational experiences through photography and video.

  • 2019

    A Year of Expansion
    I opened my own studio, led a six-month creative workshop series, taught somatic movement at a yoga festival, and captured more retreats than ever before.

  • 2023

    The Maine Chapter
    I moved to Maine, bought my first home, and captured seven retreats in a single year, a new record! I deepened my expertise as a Brand & Retreat Photographer, guided 17 women through a life-changing ceremony in Sedona, and launched The Initiation Immersion.

  • 2025

    A New Era
    The biggest, boldest year yet. Coming out from behind the camera, leaning into community, and elevating my artistry and leadership. I captured 16 retreats this year (a new record), and grew my business by 99%. One of the busiest and most heart-centered years in business. The year my DREAM offer, MYTHIC LEGACY was officialy born.

  • 2026

    Embracing the Mythic Artist
    Continuing to expand my edges, deepen my commitment to my artistry and core values in an increasingly AI-driven world. This is the year I step even more into my leadership and expertise and create the most mythical, magickal art I’ve ever created.

My Mission

I’m here to help visionary leaders and creatives translate the depth of their work into visuals that are honest, resonant, and enduring.

I believe imagery can:

  • Build trust

  • Hold memory

  • Invite the right people forward

  • Support work that endures

I’m here to help you create a visual legacy that amplifies your impact.

My values:

I am a proud woman of color and I live my values every day in my business.

My work is rooted in respect, equity, and inclusion. I am committed to working with women, femmes, non-binary, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals across Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, and worldwide.

A portion of funds from every session is donated to mutual aid efforts supporting Black, non-binary, and transgender individuals and organizations.
