A little info about me…
Hi There! Monique here, owner and photographer at Monique Tervo Design & Photography. My specialty is custom family photography, from engagements and babies to senior and family portraits! In addition to running my business, I am a busy wife and mom to two beautiful girls, and a small zoo including a german shepard dog, our cat, and our most recent addition, a gecko.
What I love about what I do…
I’ve had a passion for photography for as long as I can remember. Whenever I visited my nana, one of my favorite things to do was pull out her old photo albums, brush the dust off and listen to her laugh as she reminisced and shared all the stories behind the photos.
I love that I can provide that for families – a preservation of moments you will treasure for a lifetime. Between becoming a mother, seeing loved ones leave way too soon and all of life’s moments in-between, I’ve learned that time passes in the blink of an eye. It’s important to capture and preserve these moments now, so you and generations to follow will have them to reminisce and enjoy for years to come!
There’s nothing I love more than having clients come back time and time again. It makes me feel wonderful to know that they enjoyed their experience so much they came back for me to capture yet another milestone in their lives — I love watching their families grow up!
“It is great to have a photographer who you can always call upon to capture life’s important moments!”
“I initially hired Monique to capture my daughter’s first birthday images. She worked great with Ella, so I hired her again to document her birthday party. Monique took a combination candid moments and perfect poses, often taking pictures without the knowledge of the subject (those are my favorites). Monique is professional, responsive and diligent. My daughter just turned three and since that first session, I have hired Monique on several occasions, to photograph both our family and many of my daughter’s other milestones.”
