ABOUT ME

I’m delighted you’re here. I’m Monika, the creative soul behind Ptakatak Photography, where each frame is a pursuit of light and a search for magic. My lens finds its greatest inspiration during the “Golden Hour,” when the sun’s soft, creamy light bathes the world in warmth just before it sets. I’m drawn to dreamy locations—charming tree-lines, reflective waters, windswept grasses, and breathtaking horizons capture my heart.

Currently based in the heart of Interior British Columbia, I’m passionate about exploring new places and capturing families in stunning, varied landscapes. Whether it’s an in-home lifestyle session that tells the story of your everyday life, an intimate session in a beautiful studio or running free within nature, I cherish the unique essence of each setting.

When you book a session with me, expect a relaxed, ‘go with the flow’ experience. We’ll connect before the shoot to get to know each other, refine your vision, and plan your style—I offer a curated client closet to help you look and feel your best. My desire is to create images that are genuine, artistic, and timeless—capturing raw, unposed moments that tell your story through a collection of poetic imagery. Let’s turn your photography dreams into a cherished reality. I’m excited to embark on this creative adventure with you. Let’s connect!
