Book Your Photo Session



Each of our portrait packages include a customized, downloadable gallery of the fully edited, full-resolution images. This makes it ideal for you and family to instantly access your gallery anywhere in the world to download + share + order prints and canvases if you so wish (professional quality prints at exclusive client pricing).
During the shoot we capture a collection of you and your crew at a location of your choice, typically lasting about one hour. We shoot until we have captured all the images we will need to artistically master your collection which commonly produces about 70-100 glorious images.
We connect with you to create powerful imagery that will outlast the ages & prove worthy of attention.

A LITTLE MORE OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Jasmin and Ryan are very talented and know how to capture exactly the right moments. They are very personable and the final product they produce is wonderful - our entire collection of over 100 pictures is stunning - every single one of them. I highly recommend them for your special event, wedding, family pictures or anything you need a photographer for - you will be so happy with their work!
Ryan of the Monocle Project carries the best possible combination of things you want in a family photographer: someone who seamlessly pulls together all the best elements of a scene (your kids' personalities; the backgrounds; the lighting) all while making everyone feel completely at ease. He's a natural with kids and captured the most gorgeous expressions in our family - the same ones I see and cherish from my own perspective when we're all together. Our photos have a dreamy quality to them that capture how I feel about our best moments together in our new home. Past photo sessions with other photographers have felt frantic, strained, rushed, and fussy; this experience with the Monocle Project, by contrast, was a positive and relaxing one, and the photos prove it. Wonderful team - very responsive, friendly, and incredibly talented.
Working with Ryan was so great! He's remarkably comfortable behind the camera and made me feel at ease for my headshots. I'm ecstatic with how they turned out. Grateful to have had some photos taken with him. Definitely would love to work with him again in the future.
We had such a great experience! Ryan was so personable and fun. We are not "picture takers" but he made the experience so comfortable. We got many more shots than we anticipated and the time flew by! I would 100% recommend Monocle Project for your photography needs!
We went to Palm Springs for a family vacation and decided to do photos since we are rarely all together. Ryan came and did an absolutely amazing job! We had my parents, 4 couples, and 2 babies and somehow he got all the combinations we wanted. He was efficient and so easy to work with. We will probably fly him to our next vacation spot for more pictures!
Firstly, thank you for sending our wedding pictures to us so fast - it was such a beautiful surprise to receive them when we were still on our honeymoon. You captured the joy and magic of our beautiful weekend. We are having fun building our album together.
Secondly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being you! You were so easy to work with. Chris and I, and our guests, were not even aware we were being photographed which captured such beautiful emotions. We were definitely blessed to have found you guys.
From my very first email with Jasmin I knew she was the right photographer for us. Jasmin made us feel so comfortable and gave us the space to be silly, kiss our hearts out and laugh until our cheeks hurt. I received the pictures back in two weeks and they are beyond what I could have ever imagined. Jasmin captured our love, personalities and excitement for being together and I honestly can't stop looking at the pictures, showing them to friends and now working on putting together a wedding album! I am forever grateful that I found Monocle Project, we now have pictures of our love that will last forever!
Working with Jasmin and Ryan was a pleasure from start to finish! All of my initial correspondence was with Jasmin, and she was always friendly and prompt in her emails. I asked for her advice for a shooting location and she gave me multiple ideas for different places that fit what we were looking for. We met Ryan at the Omni on the day of our shoot. He was also friendly and really easy going. He took his time and was willing to keep taking photos as long as we wanted (however, our children had other plans!). The combination of great people and great photos is what I liked most about working with Jasmin and Ryan. Additionally, we have professional photos taken every year, and we have never worked with a photographer that has given us an entire gallery of fully edited images to keep. It is so nice to have all your photos, and not be forced to choose just one or two. If we are ever in Palm Springs in the future, we would love to work with Jasmin and Ryan again!
Hmm, where do I start with how amazing these photographers are! Not only are they professional and personable during the actual photoshoot process, but they are amazing leading up to and after the shoot also. I am the most non photogenic person I know and am incredibly nervous and shy whenever a camera is around. I had simply called to ask a question before booking, and Jasmin was SO amazing. We ended up speaking forever, like old friends catching up so seamlessly. She never made me feel rushed or anything. She was so informative and such a great listener. I could go on forever with how amazing their level of customer service is. At the actual shoot, Ryan was also so incredible. My family was all over the place- like herding cats. He was very patient and always kept his cool. He made everyone feel important and beautiful. He had amazing ideas for photos and poses, and helped people get into a great position, fixed their hair, etc. Again, I could go on and on. Ryan and Jasmin are such genuine and talented people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Cannot go wrong with these two!
I had the pleasure of working with Ryan and Jasmine with the Monocle Project for photos to be included on my new web page. We had one hour to work some magic and Ryan did! I'm thrilled with the quality of the photos and the creative thinking Ryan incorporated into the photo shoot. Just what I needed to give me web site a top notch professional feel. I highly recommend the Monocle Project!
Our portrait session with Monocle Project was an amazing experience! The setting you chose was beautiful and the mini session was ideal - with our 3 young kids. This was an ideal set-up for our family! This is our 4th family portrait session with Monocle Project, and as always, Jasmin and Ryan, you both are so professional, personal and right on target! Thank you for bringing out the best sides of our family and for capturing those moments perfectly!
These. Are. Amazing!
One of my favorite Christmas Gifts.
Thank you so much for being so patient with our kids and getting some beautiful shots.
You two are THE BEST!
Blessings.
