I focus on family photography (maternity, newborn, couples, birthdays...) because it is my passion. But I also photograph events, some small business person, and powerful women needs to find themselves throught a photoshoot. I strongly encourage you to contact me to discuss what you need and how I can help you.

I could start by explaining to you all about the benefits of working with a professional, including all equipament, courses and experience in producing high-quality images that will last a lifetime. I prefer, however, to ask you kindly to check my client’s testimonial to have an idea about how I work and how I can conduct you to fewer poses and more movements and connection with your loved ones.

Although I may give you some direction during our session that doesn’t mean your photos are going to feel 100% posed. During the photoshoots, I let you know where to move for a better spot on the landscape, or ask you to do something silly and then capture a genuine moment of laughter!

Mini weddings: 4-5 months in advance.
Small events (birthdays, baptisms..): 2-3 months in advance.
Photoshoots 1-2 months in advance.

For MATERNITY SHOOTS the best time is around 28-32 weeks to make the mom feel comfortable with the belly and the NEWBORN LIFESTYLE SESSION is good around 1-2 months old or less, it depends on your expectation to have pictures with the baby more active or less active.

Please contact me by e-mail or text message, so we can find the best date for your appointment together (monizapocphotos@gmail.com or 236 412 0408).

I will ask you to e-transfer me 50% of the total amount to secure your spot.

I know that unexpected situations can happen to anyone. Please let me know as soon as possible and we can reschedule our session in case of personal issues or rainy days.

In case of rain, we can also keep the appointment and have as much as fun as possible! It is up to you:)
I particularly love shooting in the light rain.
Unfortunately, I cannot refund the initial deposit, but we can find the best moment to schedule it again.

As a Photographer, it’s important for me to be able to show my work. But your opinion and privacy are very important to me as well. So, if you prefer, just let me know and we can keep the pictures between us :)

Usually 15 business days or less.
From January to September 10-15 days. From October to December (high season) 15 business days.

You will receive a link with your pictures edited. I will shoot in RAW format but only send you JPEG files. You can download high-resolution files, print and if you prefer you can also send them to friends and family to view. I encourage you to always print some pictures or make some albums. I will offer a package with an album option soon.

In my humble opinion, photo shooting is a storytelling, and therefore, selecting the best pictures is an essential part of the photographer's work to show a full story. I can promise to you that I will send you all good pictures with different expressions and moments and you can download your favourite ones after my edition. I will always send more pictures than the ones included in your package :)

The image you will receive is individually edited for colour, contrast, exposure and style. Heavy facial retouching or body reshaping, as well as people background removal, are not included in my services. Sorry for that.

I will always prefer you and your family to feel free to be yourselves. But if you want a guide, I can help you! I can send a "GUIDE CLOTHING" to you.

If you are a mom, I would say the best time to shoot depends on the mood of your kid! Some kids are happier in the mornings, others in the afternoons, after the nap. This is hour best time, for sure. For couples, we can do that anytime. Sunrises and sunsets always welcome golden hour light but we can not make sure about that in "raincouver". haahaha

Be yourself. Invite your family to have fun, not photos. If necessary, ask me for a clothing guide to see some ideas for outfits, but make sure not to lose your style and comfort. Be happy :)

For sure. If the place allows your dog, I will love that!

Our sessions can be outdoors in the gorgeous places we have around Vancouver. Or also in your favourite place in the world: your home! I can guarantee that we can do that with a wall and a window, One couch or bed. In case you still prefer a studio, we can arrange that for an extra fee.

Sorry, I don't. I believe that a photoshoot is a unique way to be yourself, with your clothes, accessories and stuff. There is no other way to be unique.

For sure! Please ask me for my guides for places and celebrations (coming soon)! I can also help you with recommendations for make-up artists.
