“I cannot recommend Monika from Areito Photography enough.
She brings her peaceful personality to each session that helps even the shyest person in front the camera feel comfortable in their own skin. I booked a session with Monika early this fall for a friend's upcoming campaign and had the honor of watching them both in action.
Monika listened to the creative direction that was given by my friend and added insightful style tips and posting suggestions that felt natural and representative of her subject.
The photos were so great they ended up being used in the LA Times! She's a master at her craft and is capable of elevating any type of photo shoot.”

“Monika at Areito photography is amazingly talented. I love her headshots of me! And I'm very picky.
I've had sooo many pics from other photographers that I have not liked! I'm definitely calling her every time i need an update!”

“I messaged Mónika when I decided it would be important to have updated professional photos for my business website.
I’m not someone who is a natural or comfortable in general in front of a camera, but Mónika helped me to feel at ease and gave direction that was so helpful in capturing great photos. Mónika has an easy manner that is comforting and makes the experience fun.
She was also so helpful, flexible and creative when we had to pivot a bit with location and weather challenges. She is wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I reached out to Monika to take headshot photos for my business (a law firm). I wasn't looking for traditional suit photos, rather I wanted more relaxed pictures I could use in my social media content.
Monika really understood the assignment.
She had great suggestions like posing and pointing for captions on posts. She had a variety of poses which gives me a lot of flexibility in my content creation.
She was sure to check in as we took photos to see how I was feeling about the shoot. She also had lighting props to maximize good lighting. I highly recommend Areito Photography for your photography needs!”
