Hi! My name is Monica, and I’m a proud Hispanic photographer, proud mom, and fur mom too 😊 Originally from California, I now call Virginia home and have been living here since 2015. My passion for photography began when my parents gifted me my very first camera, and from that moment, my journey started. Over the years, I’ve photographed everything from live bands and concerts to families, children, pets, couples, boudoir, and special milestones.

At Mini Mony Photography, my goal is to create timeless, emotional images that bring the beauty of your life onto your walls. I believe your memories deserve more than just sitting on a phone — they deserve to be displayed in your home where you can relive those smiles, moments, and connections every single day.

Serving Hampton Roads, Virginia, including Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and surrounding areas, I specialize in lifestyle photography, family portraits, boudoir photography, couples sessions, maternity, and pet photography. I also travel throughout Virginia and beyond for destination sessions and special events.

Being from California allows me to bring a creative, vibrant, and fun energy into every session. I love meeting new people, capturing genuine moments, and creating an experience that feels relaxed, exciting, and unforgettable. Welcome to my world — I promise you’ll leave with memories you’ll cherish forever.
