Our Passion for Photography
Welcome to ATW! I'm Monique Benson, the creator of A Thousand Words; a portrait, event, and fashion photography brand based in Virginia’s 757. My lens is shaped by experience, culture, and a deep belief in the power of being seen.
As a Black woman photographer, I bring intentionality to every session. Celebrating identity, expression, and truth through portraiture. I don’t just take pictures, I create a comfortable space for people to show up fully and be captured as they are.
If you're looking for more than just a pretty picture if you want portraits that speak you’re in the right place.
