Meet Me

I've been photographing for over ten years, but my story really begins in Costa Rica, where I first picked up a camera after winning a photography scholarship. I knew nothing about photography then - just that I wanted to learn. Life brought me to the Netherlands, where I became a mother twice. My second daughter was born here during the pandemic, and that experience changed everything. It led me to train as a doula, combining my photography work with birth support in a way that feels deeply personal to both roles. Now I do both - sometimes I'm your photographer, sometimes I'm your doula, and sometimes I'm both. I serve Spanish and English-speaking families across Rotterdam, Den Haag, Amsterdam, and the surrounding areas, documenting births, families, and weddings. I'm a migrant mother who understands what it's like to navigate these moments far from home. I know the importance of having someone who not only speaks your language but truly gets what you're going through. My approach is simple: I notice the small things - how you reach for each other, the pause before pushing, the way light falls across your face when you finally hold your baby. These quiet details become the images you'll treasure. When I'm not working, I'm probably playing Nintendo with my daughters, watching series with my husband, or reading fantasy and romance novels. I miss cas frescos and tropical fruit from Costa Rica, but I've developed a serious appreciation for Spanish turrón de almendras. And I'm always up for cake and tea or coffee if you want to sit down and talk about your story - as colleagues or as friends.

We had the most amazing experience with Katherine, Ka Monge! She is not only a fantastic professional but also a truly wonderful person. She made our daughter’s photoshoot absolutely perfect, every detail was thoughtfully planned and filled with love and emotion. She created such a cosy and relaxed atmosphere, and even made sure our kids could have beautiful photos together. We’re so grateful for her talent, patience, and kindness. Highly recommended!
