I have been on the search for a collection of songs for my business. I am LOVING the artists I have discovered and am excited about the beautiful hidden gems that are out there. I love sharing as I find them, so here is another diamond! Amy Stroup with “Just You”
I love the color white, Simple Magazine, and the less is more lifestyle. Ingrid Michaelson sings about love in the simplest of ways and it makes my heart take a fresh of breathe air the same way a white room with open space gives me peace of mind.
“Everybody wants to love, everybody wants to be loved.”
“You take me the way I am”
Happy music Monday!
My new website is coming together quickly and I cannot wait to put it out into the world! Here is a sneak peek of one of the pages of the new Love,Monika Photography site.
I went on a photo safari to focus in on what my eye is attracted to, to get more of an idea of what my taste is, and to apply this to my overall branding. Here are images from that project. I am working on a new website and some of these elements will be included in the finished product. Stay tuned!
It’s easy to get into the mode of wanting to do more, start more projects. I am always humbled and grateful when I take a moment to look back on accomplishments and experiences. 2012 was an amazing year! I had the opportunity to work with lovely couples, local businesses within the wedding industry, and I met some incredible people through various shoots!
