"I wasn't looking for traditional suit photos, rather I wanted more relaxed pictures I could use in my social media content. Monika really understood the assignment. She had great suggestions like posing and pointing for captions on posts. She had a variety of poses which gives me a lot of flexibility in my content creation."
