The most precious story we tell is our own. At every stage of life, our story takes on new dimensions, like chapters in a book — and every chapter is uniquely worth celebrating in pictures.
A photo shoot is a little like a dance where the rhythm becomes a form of expression in time to the beat. The photographer's job is to catch glimpses of this dance as it flows uninterrupted.
At Mono Graphics Studio, I shoot in a fashion/model style with themes. Together, we use props to bring out creative interactions, and lighting to sculpt your form. This is not a department store studio where you sit on a stool, hold still and give a shallow smile with vacant eyes. I stage a playful setting to help you relax so I can capture your photograph as you interact with the environment. Once relaxed, it becomes easier for you to laugh and engage with the photographer and to be yourself. It's my job to watch for your story to emerge and to capture the way you tell it.

A few tips for your portrait session
When preparing for a studio or on-location shoot you’ll want to:
- bring a couple of changes of clothes if you like (light/dark)
- long sleeves are better than short
- keep the colors and patterns simple
- bring appropriate props if desired
- bring along a CD or two of your favorite music
- think creatively and let’s have fun
