Reimagine the way you see yourself.
You’ve lived a lot of life. You’ve shown up for everyone else. And somewhere in the middle of all that, you stopped seeing yourself.
A women’s portrait experience in St. Paul, serving Minneapolis and the Twin Cities, designed to bring you back.

►Unapologetic
Ladies, it's time to come back to yourself.
Get the most powerful portraits you’ve ever seen of yourself with Me, Monda the Photographer of Monda Goette Photography. This is a one-of-a-kind portrait experience celebrating women of all ages, every background, every shape, every version of who you are right now.
Don’t question if you belong here. You do.
Every milestone counts. The wins, the pivots, the scars, the promotions, the endings, the beginnings. Your story holds weight, all of it.
Some days you feel invisible. Some days you feel on fire. Most days, you’re somewhere in between. You’re still worthy of being seen.
I’m here to help you step into that. To see it, to believe it, and to own it. We create real images of real women, guided every step of the way, so you can show up as you are and finally recognize the woman everyone else already sees.
A professional photo session focusing on YOU.
Your session is designed to bring you back into yourself. You’ll walk in with whatever you’re feeling that day, and we’ll build from there. By the time we’re done, something shifts. You feel it.
There isn’t a perfect time for this, but there is a RIGHT time. And that time is NOW. Life stays full. The calendar doesn’t magically clear. And somehow, you keep ending up at the bottom of your own list. Stop that and be kind to yourself, once and for all!
You don’t need to earn this. You just need to decide you’re ready to step into it.
Monda Goette Photography is your space to do exactly that. A day set aside for you to show up and actually take it in.

The Process: Your Time to Shine
1
HAVE A CONVERSATION
First, we have a phone conversation to dream up your custom portrait session and decide what you want to do with your portraits. Read about the full MG Process here!
2
YOUR CUSTOM SESSION
We guide you through the process to tell your story, so that you feel confident and empowered throughout your session.

REVEAL AND ORDERING OF YOUR PORTRAITS
We review your images after your photo shoot where you select images and order favorite products that allow you to celebrate who you are.
You deserve to be celebrated as a woman!
Hey, I'm Monda the Photographer. You are right where you’re supposed to be!
A professional portrait experience is waiting for all women out there, no matter their age, skin color or body type, to help gain confidence and tap into their own self - to reflect, admire, dream, and celebrate.
Every woman should have her moment to feel on top of the world with her photo session. And for some of you, that might mean an elegant gown in shimmery sparkle. For others, that is your favorite pair of jeans bundled up with a chunky sweater while barefoot and a t-shirt. I’m here to ensure this day is special for you.
I’m not only here as your professional photographer and guide, but I’m here as your biggest cheerleader and sister to help you see yourself in a new light with confidence and inspiration! I welcome you to join me on this journey towards self-acceptance, healing & celebration, and finally putting yourself first. You. Deserve. This.
You have a story to tell and voice that longs to be heard. I unapologetically tell those stories in photographs. Let’s do this.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know there are things you are wondering about. Check out the FAQ’s below for the most common questions and concerns women have when considering booking their photo shoot with Monda Goette Photography.

STOP PROCRASTINATING! No more excuses about not being in photos because you’re waiting to shed the weight, or whatever else you can come up with! Tomorrow is not promised. You deserve to feel confident, and valued TODAY no matter what the number says on the scale. People love you every day for YOU. Celebrate who you are AS YOU ARE now!
Besides, the right posing for your body type alone can take 10 lbs off a person, and my goal is to help you be the best version of yourself.

Lies. There is only one you. Love and honor that person! I have been a professional photographer for over 14 yrs and am trained to help women of all ages, shapes & sizes to look and feel amazing in photographs. You just have not found the right photographer until now.

*Depending on availability - right after your session concludes! A special image reveal and ordering appointment immediately follows your session. At this appointment, you will get to see all your beautiful images and purchase your favorites and fine art products.
*If we are unable to make same-day viewing, we can make arrangements for you to come in for a separate reveal and order appointment about a week later.

Absolutely! Some women choose to do this with their best friend, sister, daughter, or mom. We could even have your significant other join you at the end of your session! Inquire for details and we can make it a friend’s night out!

My professional hair and makeup artist has been reserved to set aside time for you at your photoshoot, as well as my studio time and talent. I only allow one reschedule if more than 7 days out from the scheduled session date at no charge, and the reschedule will depend on my artist’s availability to come back to the studio for your rescheduled session. If less than 7 days notice or this is the second time rescheduling, there will be a $250 rescheduling fee.
