Hi there and welcome to my blog. I’m Monyeen (pronounced MOE - NEEEN) but everybody calls me "Mo."
about me:
Where do I begin? I spent most of my life in the Bay Area and recently located to Paso Robles when I got married to my first crush. I have fallen in love with this beautiful area. Serving the Central Coast ~ I am located in Paso Robles, California.
my style and approach:
Hmmm, I would say definitely non-traditional. I like cut off heads and funky angles, bright colors, quirkly looks and going outside the box. My sessions are relaxed, letting me take my time but also be creative and unique. Not being rushed lets everybody relax. During our session, I want you to have fun. Having fun during the session brings out the natural smiles and personalities that we see everyday. We can do some posed portraits in the beginning of your session, then we’ll let you be you and show your inner self to allow your photos tell a story of what was happening when it was taken. I shoot in color but I love the classic black and white photos. For seniors I do lots of bright colors.
Just be you. That’s all I want. If you’re silly and giggly or if you’re calm and snuggly, I want that from you during our session. Show up with an open mind and willing soul and ready to have some fun – you will love the results.
I specialize in custom portraiture with mostly newborns, seniors and engagements. Here you can find sneak peeks from your session and new items, specials, news, etc. I always enjoy reading the comments you leave on the images, so leave a comment anytime you drop by.
If you need to get in touch with me, email is the quickest way.
Thanks for visiting!
Laughter. Yep, we laughed and laughed. Kiersten has the best personality. I had such a great time with her and her mother. Both are so kind and easy-going. I love, love, love that she switched up here hair style. not just once, but several times.
