Hi there, I’m Monica Baker – photographer and owner of Poetic Poppy Photography.

A Dallas girl with a big heart for celebrating seniors in the most unbasic way possible.

At Poetic Poppy Photography, I create custom, editorial-style senior portraits for students who want more than a generic session in a field. Think fully styled shoots, locations with intention, and direction that makes you feel like you belong on the cover of a magazine (without the awkwardness). I design each session to be personal, empowering, and totally unforgettable.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with hundreds of seniors and built a reputation for delivering next-level experiences — not just pretty pictures. My background as a national photography educator means I know how to light, pose, and edit with purpose. It also means I teach other photographers how to elevate their client experience — because raising the bar in this industry matters to me.

If you’re looking for a photographer who just shows up and clicks the shutter, that’s not me. But if you want someone who sees you, plans with heart, and hypes you all the way through it? I’m your girl.

Sessions are limited and book up 12–24 months in advance — let’s get yours on the calendar.
