I believe in capturing life’s authentic moments, full of love, laughter, and warmth, so you can cherish them for years to come. My passion lies in documenting the elegance and joy of wedding celebrations, ensuring that each couple's unique love story is beautifully recorded for generations to cherish.

- Monica

Beyond the camera, my greatest joy comes from being a wife and mom—roles that continually teach me about love, patience, and the beauty found in everyday moments. I’m deeply involved in my community, where faith and connection are at the heart of all I do.

Balancing family life and creativity inspires me to approach every story with empathy and intention, ensuring that each moment I capture reflects the genuine love and life unfolding around me.

Rooted in Faith and Family,
Grounded in Chicago

At House MRose, our heart is rooted in honoring the beauty of honest, unguarded moments — the kind that hold real laughter, quiet glances, warm embraces, and all the in-between pauses that often mean the most. We create imagery that gently preserves these moments, so they can be felt again and again — framed, held, and cherished for generations.

What began as a simple desire to document the world evolved into something deeper — a practice of slowing down, seeing with intention, and telling stories with soul. After years of traveling across 20+ countries, photography became more than a creative outlet; it became a way of seeing and preserving what truly matters.

At the core of House MRose is a mission to create timeless imagery that reflects the depth of your story — not just how it looked, but how it felt. Every story is sacred. Every moment, worth remembering.

IT's NICE TO MEET YOU
