"We recently had a wonderful family photo shoot with Monica at Cavallo Point on a lovely fall day. Monica knew all the hidden spots to capture beautiful shots and was a pro at keeping our 16 month old son happy and smiling for the camera the whole time. It was a pleasure working with Monica."
- Persis Shroff, Family session
“Monica May photographed my maternity session, and our annual holiday sessions ever since. Could not recommend her more. We love our beautiful memories."
- Sara Bender, Client since 2016, Family + Milestone Sessions
All sessions include a pre-planning meeting over call, where we'll plan your session through style guides, discussions over location and times, and other important input to make your experience and the results the best that they can be.
Your entire gallery will be available via Dropbox one to two weeks after the session. We can then communicate about your favorite images that you'd like me to refine.
A fun, creative setting for families, individuals, couples, seniors, kids and pets.
"Monica is a lovely person inside and out. She makes you feel comfortable in front of her camera right away and the results are really beautiful. She is a true artist and finds just the right background and lighting for a stunning shots. By the way, she's someone you would want to know too. "
- Lynn Kirkham, Portrait Session

Ultimately, the best depiction of you is produced under precise circumstances. Part of my job is to make these circumstances a possibility for you. Setting, preparation and genuine moments are all priorities for me; these are the factors that will bring stunning results. This includes making you feel comfortable, showing you exactly how to best represent yourself, planning ahead with you when it comes to style and other preliminary steps.
Natural lighting and attention to candid shots in between posed pictures allows for your personality to shine. All of this emphasis on communication and environment makes family sessions including kids and pets much more successful, but either way, highlighting everything surrounding the photo means that the outcome will be breathtaking.
