So are You wondering who is Monica?
Well let me give you the story of me...
It all started 30 years ago (this is my 30th B-day self portrait) when I wan put on this earth to be me!
Growing up my mom was always in to photography and was knows as the camera lady and drove us all crazy with taking photos. Now I look back and think I'm so glad to have so many photos of my childhood. I would like to do the same for you and your family too.
Well as I grew older school and the writing thing was not my favorite thing (as I suer you can tell by all I have written on my web site). So when I was going to Del Oro High School I looked for anything to keep me busy and out of trouble. In that search I found yearbook and and became photographer my junior year. Wow it changed me and I couldn't get enough. Then my senior year I got Head Photographer position and loved it enough but got a little burnt out. Now it is graduation time, I was ready for the Big world having no idea that photography was going to be a huge part of my grown up life. I had to go through some life challenges of working to just get paid not working to love what I do. I put my camera down and didn't think much about it until almost 10 years later (what was I thinking or not thinking I guess) I was asked to do a huge project of photographing 97 preschool not interrupting them in their exploration at school at a local preschool and enlarge them to 11x14 black and white. I thought sure I can do this! Wow what a project it was a life finding moment for me. I had again found my love for photography. After this project my finger started snapping away and I have not looked back...
So here we are a few years later...
My promise to you is to you is I will be relaxed and chill to help you feel as great as you are behind the camera. I just love the skin I'm in and want you to love yours too.
This whole page below are self portraits and a few of my thoughts...
I hope it helps you get to know and trust me to catch your moments.
I have also committed myself to doing a "Shot of the Day" take a moment to see my diary of daily photos here
http://katchinyakandid.smugmug.com/gallery/1968485#198025941
I will do my best to be as flexible with you to fit you and your photo shoot needs...
Sit back and relax while I look for the right moment to snap the next shot. Coaching your little one could make them clam up.
What I do best is... catch the moment that will always be a memory.
When I'm holding the camera I am capturing reality.
Everything has a moment and I strive to catch that memory.
I was trying to get the pictures I wanted and it just wasn't happening. So I started with Katchin ya Kandid.
I strive to photograph in a non-intrusive photojournalists reality approach.
You can pose if you want too!!!
Sit back and be yourself
You can be crazy with your clothes... I do
Or just be crazy... I do that too
photos and be made black and white
and sepia
When I have the camera I might look at you like this.
or this
but not this
ot this
At the end I might smile at you like and because I know we will have some photos to pick from.
