B U S I N E S S O W N E R / P H O T O G R A P H E R Images of Style by Monica, now Monica Byrne Photography / Wyandotte, MI

/ 1997 – 2018

I am a detail-oriented observer of all things, big and small. Not only this, I have a tremendous ability to see the unseen as well, whether this is in creative vision or reading the moment to anticipate what people are feeling and to quickly position

myself for what I see happening next. This ability is what makes me an exceptional wedding photographer, who is also sought out and subcontracted by other talented

photographers to shoot for or with them. I am easy to work with, personable and dedicated.

• I was commissioned to shoot nearly 30 weddings a year, many of which were referrals from other happy clients.

• I now mainly subcontract weddings and events and portraits for two other photographers, and often second shoot for a handful of other local talents.

R E A L E S T A T E A G E N T Downriver Real Estate Group / Wyandotte, MI / 2016 – Present

Currently I work with a variety of clients to discern their needs and assist them in the process of buying and/or selling their homes. I listen first and foremost, and then

develop a plan that works for them. I assist with negotiating fairness in home sales, calculate numbers, provide both technical as well as emotional support.

• In my second year as a real estate agent, I sold approximately $800K in real estate.

.

P R O F I L E I strongly believe that you will succeed to the greatest of your ability when you take on work you are both passionate about and that which combines your own unique talents. I am naturally a creative down to my bones, and my skills have been honed through being a self-employed business owner for 15 years, as well as working for various types of offices and studios. Exceptional people skills in both written and verbal communication, I am detail and task-oriented, with the abilitiy to organize things to run smoothly and efficiently. A good team member, I am easy to get along with, as well as very supportive. Excellent visual and design skills give me the ability to think and envision outside the box. I am someone people definitely feel lucky to have on their team.
