My Philosophy as a Photographer
When choosing a photographer, it’s important not only to find a portfolio of work that fits your style, but also to find someone who you connect with. I am an easy-going, fun person to work with, and I connect with just about anyone. I promise to not only capture beautiful images with a characteristic bright and vibrant style, but to also help you feel confident in front of the camera.
Who I am
I’m a New England native, now living in the Big D. I crave variety in life and am always in the pursuit of self-improvement and learning. My taste is very eclectic- I love Nirvana and Frank Sinatra, classic cars and environmentalism, minimalism and sentimental treasures, astrology and science, and nearly everything in between. My photographic style reflects my eclectic nature as a person, and because of that I feel I can truly appreciate each of my clients’ personal tastes. I am proud of my ability to connect with people and make them feel seen, and I believe it is something that has set me apart in the brand photography world.
My Background
Before launching my photography business, I studied wildlife and fisheries biology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Conservation. While earning my degree, I photographed friends and family and realized that photography combined so many things that I loved most – discovering new and beautiful places, creating art, and making people happy.
Over the past 10 years, I have poured my heart and soul into building this photography business, and I can’t thank my incredible clients enough for their support, trust, and love that has brought me to where I am today. I currently live in Dallas, TX and serve clients in the greater DFW area and in my home state of Massachusetts. In 2022, I made the transition from Monika Normand Photography to Monika Normand Creative LLC to incorporate my mentorship, coaching, and videography offerings, and to bring on a talented team of creative partners to better serve my clients. In 2023, I opened Brightside Studios – my very own Dallas photography studio and creative event space, available for rent by the hour for my creative community.
