Hello, I’m Monika Cioban, an award-winning portrait artist based in Elmhurst, IL, and a proud wife and mom to two beautiful daughters. With a background in Photography and Graphic Design, I’ve always been drawn to the power of visual storytelling.

​

My passion for design led me to an incredible role as Creative Director and Senior Designer at Summerana.com, where I’ve had the joy of merging artistry with innovation. Still, my greatest love has always been photography.

I believe everyone deserves to exist in beautiful, meaningful portraits. My mission is to reveal the beauty others see in you and to create the most stunning portraits you’ve ever had of yourself and your family.

​

Each of us leaves a unique mark on the world. Through portraiture, we preserve that legacy and celebrate the essence of who we are for generations to come.
