Monni volunteers her time and talents in several charitable endeavors.

Knowing firsthand what it’s like to lose a cherished person, she is involved with Beaumont Hospital. They call her to photograph babies who are on life support and babies who have passed. People ask, “How do you do it?” But, really her question is “How do I not photograph these babies?!”  They are the only pictures that these parents will have of their baby. Closure after tragedy is elusive, difficult, and takes time. Her intention is that her photographs will alleviate some of their pain.

Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network - This organization is very close to her heart. They honor the end of a person’s life with dignity and comfort. It is a gift to be able to say goodbye to a loved one.

In addition, I she supports the Haven Project, Kadima, and GVAWL (Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League).
