I create artistic portrait sessions designed to capture childhood, motherhood, and connection in a beautiful, intentional way.

My sessions are, guided, and focused on creating images that feel emotional, expressive, and timeless — not rushed.

Based in Chicago, and surrounding areas I offer studio and outdoor portrait sessions for children, maternity, and mommy & me clients who are looking for something more meaningful than standard photography.

Studio & Outdoor Portrait Sessions in Chicago

Based near Wheeling, I serve Chicago and surrounding areas.

Your session can take place in my home studio or at carefully selected outdoor locations.

Studio sessions allow for full artistic control of light, and a calm atmosphere.

Outdoor sessions bring movement & natural light.

Not sure which option is best? I’ll help guide you based on your vision and session type.

 

I’m Monika

 

The artist behind Monika Onak Photography.

My work is inspired by childhood, motherhood, connection, and storytelling through color and light.

I believe portraits should feel emotional  — created with intention and care, becoming memories you’ll return to for years.


 

Let’s Create Something Meaningful

If you’re looking for artistic portraits that feel timeless, emotional, and beautifully crafted — I’d love to work with you.
