Thanks for taking the time to check out my site. Here are a few things about me that I hope give you a better idea about who I am, and my approach to photography.

My name is Monica Amaya. I was born and raised in Guatemala, a place of many moods and both dramatic and inspiring imagery. It was there where I met my husband Maurice. We are blessed to have three wonderful boys to call our own. In 2003, we ventured to North Port, here we have raised our family and become in- volved in the community through philanthropy and sports.

My love for photography was reignited after the birth of my children. Before diving into photography full-time, I was a stay-at-home mother. I have a degree in dentistry from Universidad Francisco Marroquin (Guatemala city), but my heart and soul is in photography. Over the last several years, I have perfected my new craft by attending conferences, continued online education and professional photography training seminars.

I enjoy doing photography sessions at parks, the beach, and also in my home studio! My clients range from Sarasota to Naples and everywhere in between. Please e-mail me to picsbymonica@gmail.com,or call/text to 941-429-8965 so we can set up your next session! I look forward to hearing from you!
