Specialist portrait photographer Monika Mejri in Caterham creates calm, emotive studio and outdoor portraits. She guides you to natural, timeless images and also provides professional business headshots.
Monaphotography is a Caterham-based portrait specialist led by Monika Mejri. With over a decade behind the lens, Monika’s work is rooted in the belief that portrait photography is more than flattering images — it’s a way to connect, remember and reveal the quiet truth that words sometimes cannot. Her approach favours presence, trust and a gentle guidance that helps clients feel truly seen. Why choose Monaphotography? Monika specialises in portrait photography and brings a calm, attentive style that suits anyone who wants portraits with depth and honesty. Whether you’re after an intimate personal portrait or a professional business headshot, Monika focuses on natural light, expressive subtleties and timeless composition so each image feels unmistakably yours. She positions herself as a portrait specialist — shaping mood and atmosphere to capture genuine emotion rather than forced poses. How she works: the process is collaborative and slow-paced by design. It begins with listening — understanding your story, the feeling you want your images to carry, and the practical details that matter. Next comes shaping the mood: choices about location, wardrobe and lighting are discussed together so the session reflects your personality. During the shoot Monika creates a relaxed environment where clients can breathe, move and express themselves; her gentle direction prioritises authenticity over performance. After the session she carefully curates a gallery of images that hold both beauty and meaning, offering a selection that presents you as you truly are. Monaphotography also accommodates business portrait needs as a complementary service. While portraiture remains the core focus, Monika produces professional headshots and LinkedIn-ready images for clients who want a polished but natural representation for their career or brand. Rooted in family life and a love for everyday moments, Monika draws inspiration from simple gestures and quiet expressions. Her images aim to preserve memories that feel alive — the soft in-between moments, the confident glance, the honest smile. If you want a portrait experience that is thoughtful, soulful and crafted with care in Caterham and the surrounding areas, Monaphotography offers a specialist, human-centred approach to creating portraits that last.
