Monica ,
I have sooo many of these photos I adore that it would have taken too long to comment on them individually. Thank you soo much for capturing us as we are.
I say,.......We will never get back yesterday, We can never do any moment over again, We are all changing as we grow older, so, if at all possible, take every moment you can to capture, even sometimes, the littlest things in life!!! I will always be able to look back at this stage in my family's life and remember us as we were!! Fun, Silly, Happy & Loving!! Thank you from all of us! Isaac, Suzie, Abby, Ethan & Hailey Joseph.

I just wanted to tell you how much I really love the photos. They are really cool and so many small details you did and added made such a big difference. Thanks for traipsing all around town and taking us to so many great locations…and for dealing with the kitty. =o) It was a fun experience for us and I really love the results; and truly appreciate your time and efforts. Thank you, thank you, thank you! =o)

Our caterer (California Catering – also LOVE!) recommended Monica with Studio KYK to us for a special family event. I was looking for someone to shoot both candid interactions and posed portraits of four generations of friends and family. After viewing her website, I immediately fell in love with her honest and detailed approach to photography and people and we hired her. The day of the event, Monica was professional and delightful. Her interaction with the guests was so natural, we may have to put her on the guest list next time! I had given her a list of specific photographs to capture, which she did, as well as a gazillion more. Within the promised few week time period, Monica sent us the digital files in a slideshow and zipped file and they were absolutely gorgeous. She captured everything I wanted to remember from the day plus much more than I expected. Her photos will be a wonderful memory for years to come of such a special day.

Ok, I FINALLY placed my order for prints. I spent too much but I just couldn't decide and I wanted to have good quality prints. Plus, I had to order some for the grandparents. Monica, I can't thank you enough. It's been a while since these were taken and still they spur such happy and warm feelings. I just love how you were able to capture my little ones. I am so glad I did this with you!

I posted this review on Facebook, but for any non-Facebook users (gasp?) ;) I wanted to post the review (feedback) here also!

Monica has a passion for photography and this passion translates into remarkable photos. Monica knows how to take creative, professional, stunning photographs that reflect her subject in the best light possible.

Most notable is Monica's ability to adapt to almost any circumstance... while many photographers get stuck in one genre, or one type of photo style, Monica doesn't adhere to those types of boundaries and makes her own way...

True to her tagline of Katchin' Ya Kandid - that's exactly what Monica achieves - {REAL} photography for {REAL} people, {REAL} events, and {REAL} life.

Not to mention the fact that Monica seems to work around the clock and goes out of her way to make sure you are happy.

I highly recommend Studio KYK! Thank you, Monica!!!

ubject: Well done!
Dear Monica,

I am really stunned by what you have done, and what you continue to do. You entered a market that is so saturated with supply that the probability of success is almost less than zero. Although I have always felt that there is room for good people in any job, you picked a career in which you have to be not just good, but brilliant. And you are brilliant. Thanks for the pictures.

Shannon wrote this on Facebook and I just loved it...

Weikipedia's definition Boudoir: A great deal of "Boudoir" is now created in the photographer's studio, where it has become very fashionable to create a set of sensual images for ladies of all ages, shapes, and sizes in the "boudoir style". This often takes the shape of partly clothed images or images in lingerie, and has become more than just a passing fad for brides to surprise their future husbands.

M
…I can’t even begin to thank you enough for what you've given me. You’ve forced me to see just how beautiful and exquisite my boys truly are. You’ve made me realize that moments like these are passing by – every minute of every day, never to come again. I need to pay closer attention and see the beauty in all. Wow and it’s so true…. What you are able to capture with that camera of yours is truly amazing. You are very talented. All of those moments you captured would have passed without noticing the perfection. …My wild boys…. They drive me absolutely crazy… but gosh, they are so beautiful! ...makes me want to go squeeze them!


Thanks again. …and again, and again. Have a fantastic day!
Michelle

Monica, .... You have done it again!!!!!!! You ROCK!! You are amazing. I know to some people it may seem like just another birthday party, but you captured so many moments that I myself did not even know exsisted. I feel like I saw everything you did and more!! I will be eternally grateful for your friendship and expertise. Hugs to yo my wonderful friend!!!!

Suzie

Monica has a great spirit about her when taking photographs. She is easy to work with and creative when it comes to finding the perfect shot. Both Nick and I loved having her take our pictures. It was a pleasure to work with a down to earth photographer who really allowed us to get our pictures taken anywhere. Which in some cases is hard to do. If you want an enjoyable experience filled with great memories Monica is definitely the one to make it happen.
Sincerely,
Nick and Tatyana

Monica

OMG!
These are amazing! There are so many that I love I don't even know where to start! Thank you so much for this! I really am excited!!!

Hi Monica!
Just a quick note to say "Thanks!". I know you have a lot on your plate right now, and we do live a bit far from you, so I want you to know how much we appreciate you coming up today. You are remarkably talented with your work, and I always look forward to seeing your pictures! Have a great night, and I am sure we'll touch base soon!

Get some rest...

Jackie Sent this email to her friends and I really liked what it said. So I added this slightly edited email it to my feedback gallery~

Thanks Jackie for the good words about my studio day shoots~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A friend of mine does professional pictures- they are absolutely beautiful!
Her mom has little baby chicks and she was going to do some spring photos with the baby chicks. There is a sitting fee- and then you order the prints from her website-

the prices are way better than picture people, and the pictures come out sooooooo much nicer-

I think all in all- I spend less than I do at picture people, get way nicer pictures and she takes her time with my kids, vs. feeling rushed at a studio. Plus the style is more natural.....


Jackie

Hi Monica,

I just love the pictures! I'm having a difficult time deciding, I love so many of them.

Thanks again, it was nice to meet you. My oldest son even remarked that the photo shoot was kind of fun - which is a BIG thing since he hates getting his picture taken! You really captured personality in those pics!

Thanks so much,

Jeanine Higgins

Thank you so much for your beautiful work as always! You know just how to capture the beautiful moments for us! I'm so thankful that you have been there for so many of those special events. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts......love emma, olivia & mommy

Good Morning,
I just saw the website.........the photos are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sitting here with tears, I am so happy. I am racing off, but can't wait to come back and sit and look through them thoroughly. There are soooooo many choices, I am thrilled. You are very talented and I feel like you "captured" my boys as exactly who they are. Fabulous job....the photos make me smile beyond words. I'll be in touch.

Have a great day
S.

Oh my gosh! They are SO cute. You ROCK! You really have a good eye. It was really nice hanging out with you for the afternoon.
My mother in law called and asked if it would be ridiculous to order ALL of them!
180 pics- uh yeah, that may be a few too many! :)
Take care. I'm sure we will call you in a few months once they are REAL babies.... should be even more of a challenge then~

They are amazing and we had so much fun going through them. I don't know how we'll choose - we'll have to put the kids to bed, grab a glass of wine and take our time one evening. Thanks so much for capturing our family so well - what a great gift you have!
