    “Katie is absolutely the best. I’ve been working with her as my brand photographer since 2018, and it has been a complete game changer for my business. Year after year, I return for refreshed content and renewed inspiration. Her talent, strategic insight, and value continue to grow, and I truly cannot recommend her more.”

  • Lindsey Fay, Studio Avia Web Desing

    “My brand shoot with Katie was absolutely perfect. She customized a package to fit exactly what I needed and guided me through every step, from location to a strategic shot list. Katie made me feel completely confident and comfortable. She worked efficiently with expert direction, capturing stunning images that truly reflect MY brand. The entire experience was seamless, and the photos have been invaluable in my business. I cannot recommend her enough.”

  • Daniela Tempesta, LCSW Therapist

    “Katie Monroe was born to do this work. My branding shoot was seamless, professional, and genuinely fun from start to finish. She took the time to understand me and my business, translating my vision into images that feel both authentic and elevated. I couldn’t be happier with the final photos. If you’re considering booking her, do it. The experience alone is worth it.”

  • Ali Sung, Compass Luxury Real Estate

    “Working with Katie was an outstanding experience. She helped plan every detail in advance, offered creative direction on outfits and props, and delivered stunning real estate images that truly stand out. Professional, collaborative, and incredibly talented, she even connected me with key vendors to elevate the shoot. I highly recommend her and look forward to working together again.”

Welcome! I'm Katie Monroe, a seasoned commercial, lifestyle, and brand photographer based in Sonoma, proudly serving the entire San Francisco Bay Area and destination locations. 

With over 18 years of experience as a Bay Area brand photographer, I've had the incredible opportunity to photograph businesses and entrepreneurs in various industries such as health, fitness, coaching, product, beauty, food, wine, hospitality, and throughout the service industry.

This isn't just about Visuals, it's about positioning.

In a digital world, your imagery sets the tone.

It defines your authority, communicates your Value, and signals your level of expertise.

When done strategically, brand imagery builds trust, elevates perceived value, and separates you from competitors immediately.

Together, we’ll build a strategy-driven brand image library that will:


  • Build trust with your target audience

  • Cultivate an immediate connection between your brand + ideal clients 

  • Set you apart from your competition and craft a brand storyline 

  • Visually communicate your value and professionalism with one click

    She makes you not only feel seen and heard, but also elevates you to thinking "I got this, WE got this" that translates into confidence throughout the shoot and also having a lot of fun with it all.

    One of the best out there! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie, from the pre-intake questionnaire to helping you choose outfits, locations, and then the shoot itself was super easy and fun.
