Hi, I’m Monica Mercado Arce, the photographer behind Mercado’s Snapshots. Photography isn’t just my passion—it’s my way of capturing the emotions, stories, and culture that shape us. When creating this brand, I knew I wanted something that truly represented me. That’s why I chose to name it after my last name.


In our Latino community, last names carry deep meaning. They connect us to our roots, our families, and our history. Keeping my last name in my brand was a way to honor that—holding onto my identity while sharing my vision with the world.


I invite you to explore my site to learn more about the artist behind the lens, the types of photography I specialize in and examples of past projects. If you have a question for me, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
