"My biggest fear when using a new photographer is "will we vibe together on a project?" You and I INSTANTLY vibed and the shoot was AMAZING! You made me so comfortable and I never once felt strange or uncomfortable the entire time! My favorite part was absolutely coming out of my shell and letting you bring out that inner diva inside me through the pictures. I felt like a legit model! I completely fell head over hells with most ALL of my pictures! You are so talented and have such vision for what will bring out the light and most inner beauty of your clients. YOU HAVE A GIFT! TRULY!I would recommend you to EVERYONE. You made me feel so beautiful and comfortable. You did things for these photos I never thought would happen. I honestly looked at my pictures at one point and said "OMG that's me?!"

"I was extremely nervous walking into the studio, I had no idea what to expect. Monica and her team made me feel absolutely amazing from the moment I walked it. I walked out of the studio feeling a lot more confident then I had in a very long time. I loved every moment of it, they made me feel absolutely amazing. I would recommend any lady I know to do. The staff is absolutely amazing . They will make you feel beautiful from the moment you walk in. It was so nice to get my hair and makeup done they all really go out of their way to make the whole experience special."

"My biggest fear was getting in front of that camera! I am so self conscious of my body. After 2 kids and working 2 jobs I have not lost my baby weight after 7 years which is terrible and let's just say I have earned my strips. After 10 years I'm not even comfortable in front of my own husband naked but some how Monica and Carol made me feel beautiful and comfortable! I felt beautiful and empowered- like a plus size Victoria Secrets model! DO IT! It is such an empowering experience and it makes you feel so good about yourself and really boosts your self confidence."

"I was afraid the pictures wouldn’t turn out good, and I was happy to have that fear fly out the window! You guys made me feel comfortable in my own skin, didn’t feel judged at all! I really enjoyed the shower shots! That’s was a lot of fun plus we all had a good laugh and I like making people laugh! I felt accepted. Ladies, if you wanna feel amazing about yourself and your body you need to call Monica! She’ll make you see yourself in a different light.

"My biggest fear was that I wouldn't know how to stand/pose for the photos. Boy, you do NOT need to worry about that! Monica is super talented at directing you...giving you direct, step-by-step instructions the whole time. It was actually really easy, once we got into it - we flew through the session! I absolutely adored having my makeup done. I hadn't worn makeup in over a decade & was nervous that I would look too glammed up, not enough like the real me. But it was such a relaxing & fun experience - plus I looked like a knock out when she was done! She highlighted my best features & made me feel super sexy!"

I hear people say all the time that they will do a session after xyz time when they hit a certain weight loss or physical health goal. I say do it NOW. I’m in the middle of a health journey and am not where I “want to be” (wherever that is), but it just felt soooo good to have a session. I felt good. I looked good. I got to see some of what my spouse sees. I’m still riding that high the next day.

"My biggest fear was looking fat on camera. NO, my fear did not come true, in my photos I looked amazing, not fat. My favorite part was seeing the results! Monica and her team did such a wonderful job capturing my best features! The shoot was fun and gave me more confidence!!"
Bobbi Jo Dawson: Book one of these sessions!! Oh my goodness! Do it!

Ladies, I'm tellin' ya, go book a session with Monica! You will not regret it! It took me about 3 months to finally commit and when I walked out of my session today I thought, "Why didn't I do this sooner?!?" It was so fun to spend the morning getting all dolled up and taking pictures that made me feel confident and beautiful. Even though I originally booked the session as a surprise gift for my husband, I really did this for me. If you are looking for a confidence booster, this is it! Thank you Monica for such a fun and amazing session! I can't wait to see the pictures!
Before my session with Monica I never thought I would want my pictures hanging on my wall. But after seeing these two pictures I had to have them! My husband loved his Christmas present! If you ever want to get rid of that couch Monica Grimes I call dibs. It would look great in my room with the canvases.

Long story: my session was at 1. This morning SUCKED. By the time I rolled up at Monica's I had every intention of telling her that there's no way I was doing a sexy shoot today, sorry. I had been crying, nothing was working right, my hair, my makeup, I was a hot mess. She talked to me a bit about random stuff, and then started talking to me about outfits, took me into the place we were going to be shooting and was like, ok hot momma lets do this. And then, I swear she made me feel like a million dollars. It didn't matter what I did, she was awesome. And she was encouraging. And nice. And amazing!By the end, I was trying things out that when I'd walked in there I told her I didn't want to do. Not because she suggested trying it, but because my confidence was seriously through the roof. I don't even care what the photos look like. I feel amazing right now. I am woman and I'm roaring. She's amazing. Just book your session. It. Was. A. Blast!!!!

I had my session with Monica last night and I just want to say thank you! She made me feel way more comfortable than I thought I would and we had so much fun. We laughed a lot and she is so encouraging. Katie did my hair and make-up and was so patient with me since I recently decided to chop my own hair off.... Honestly I don't know that I have felt as confident as I did when I left that studio ever. When I got home my husband even commented that some weight seemed to have been lifted from my shoulders. I give Monica all of the credit for that feeling. I super excited to see some sneak peeks and have my ordering session with her. If this is something you are putting off because it's out of your comfort zone don't keep feeling that way.... There's no pressure and it's all about making you feel good about you.... there is so much positive reinforcement in the session and you can't help but to feel great.

My session with Monica this morning rocked. I left full of such beaming emotions. Not only did I feel beautiful and sexy but also worthy and powerful. As I changed outfits it was like breaking down layers of me. As I stood in slightly revealing poses it was like fighting through fear, anxiety, weakness, and mostly imperfection only to realize that the sexiest thing about me is me. I am a perfect me. Monica made me feel comfortable before the first outfit change and helped me realize that not only was a "sexy mom bod" a real thing but that I had one. All the compliments that I was showered with were so uplifting and left it hard not to smile Along with all the feelings of empowerment she is a very professional photographer with all the skill and knowhow. She knows exactly just how to compliment your favorite features and even some you weren't aware that you had. Photography is more than just snaping a picture and I truly believe its a natural artistic talent for Monica. I can't wait to see the final products of her creations.
