What makes Ankeny Senior Photographer, Monahan Photographic Artist so different from anyone else?

Lighting: We use lighting to create moods and unique looks. Whether we are working with studio lighting or natural light outdoors, we know how to properly light to flatter and accentuate your face and body.

Posing: Unless you have already done some modeling, you may not feel real comfortable in front of the camera. Leave the posing to us, the professionals. We will find all the right angles to make your poses look relaxed and natural.

Expression: One way to make your images look unique and different is to capture a variety of looks and expressions. Years of experience enables us to study expressions and try to capture one that is natural and looks like the real you. A variety of expressions including serious, soft smiles and fun candids will also ensure that your photos will be unique and diverse.

Locations: We have so many different places to photograph. We will listen to your ideas and give you suggestions on locations that will compliment what you are wearing. We are experience with color blending and will pick the best backgrounds for your outfits whether we are indoors or outdoors. If you want something with a modern or rustic look, or prefer nature, flowers or water, we can accommodate you.

Techniques: We are always attending educational seminars to keep up with new styles and trends to stay ahead of the competition.

Quality: We are NOT a factory!! Our commitment is quality, not quantity. Our sessions are relaxed and we do not rush your session because the next person is waiting.

With our knowledge of light, posing, expression, color and technique, you will have an unforgettable experience and the best images around!
