the Experience
working with mena
Working with me is like hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera. I'll guide you through the entire experience, keeping things relaxed, and make sure you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.
I'm also your biggest hype girl. Expect lots of "OMG, stop. that is SO cute" and me celebrating every little moment right along with you. My goal is to help you feel comfortable enough to be yourselves, because that's when the best photos happen.
We'll laugh, have fun, and create photos that feel just as genuine as the memories behind them!
