It’s been awhile… so I thought it was time to re-introduce myself!

Hi! I’m Monica Bates, the photographer behind mbatescreative 👋 This whole past year I’ve been focusing fully on creating content and finding my focus.

My focus has primarily shifted to weddings and portraits, but I’m still very passionate about studio and fine-art photography.

I’ve loved working with all kinds of people over this past year capturing their special moments in life whether big or small.

I’m excited to get back into using this account and share what I’ve been up to.

See ya soon!
