Monica Lau

Feb 22, 2024
 

Monica Lau has had a 30-year career as a professional portrait photographer that led her to call Kailua, Hawaii home. With skills that have been perfected over the years, Monica's mission as an artist is to evoke self-confidence, strength, and joy in her subjects while putting them at ease. It is in these moments of genuine fun and connection that she does her best work.

In 2023 she hired me and my team to create her 40 over 40 campaign for her. Within the first 3 days of launching her ads she booked half the women for her campaign. After photographing that group she turned the ads back on and within 2 days had booked out the rest of her 40 women. With an average sale of $3500 she made over $150k just with her campaign in 2023. Monica is running a High School Seniors campaign this year as well a 40 over 40 campaign for 2024.

Her story is inspiring and a must listen/watch if you're thinking about doing a Portrait Campaign for your Photography Business.
