"I am thrilled to write this review for our exceptional event and portrait photographer, Monica, who has been an invaluable member of our creative team at Desire to Inspire Studios since February 2018. Her contributions to our company have been nothing short of extraordinary. Monica has demonstrated an unparalleled dedication to her craft in photography as well as social media campaigns. 

Monica goes above and beyond in her role, capturing not just the scene but the very spirit and story of every event she photographs. Her unique color palette—light, airy, dreamy, and elegant—remains consistent no matter the weather conditions, adding a signature touch that enhances every image. Her keen eye for detail and her ability to tell the story of an event through her lens are truly remarkable.
Socially conscious and exceptionally adept at engaging with people, Monica knows exactly how to approach groups to capture natural smiles and authentic interactions. She possesses a rare sensitivity and understanding of how to communicate with children of all ages, making them feel at ease and bringing out their best expressions in front of the camera. 
Her expertise extends beyond capturing the main events; she never forgets to photograph candid moments, detail shots, and the broader picture, ensuring that no aspect of an event is overlooked. This comprehensive approach to photography provides a complete and enriching visual narrative for our clients. 

Working with Monica is always a pleasure. She is a great communicator, effortlessly collaborating with our team and clients to ensure that everyone's vision is realized. Her easy-going nature and professionalism make her an ideal colleague and a joy to work with.
The results Monica delivers are consistently wonderful. Her reliability is unmatched. This level of professionalism ensures that our clients always receive their photos promptly, maintaining the high standards our company is known for. Her photographs not only meet but often exceed our expectations, bringing events and portraits to life in a way that is both captivating and memorable. 


In conclusion, Monica is an outstanding photographer and social media expert whose creativity, strategic thinking, skill, dedication and work ethic, have significantly enriched our company. We are incredibly fortunate to have her on our team and look forward to many more years of her exceptional contributions."
