ABOUT DOM PRODUCTIONS
You shouldnβt work with usβ¦
If your goal is to create picture perfect content.
We ainβt perfect. And we donβt want you to be either

We ainβt perfect. And we donβt want you to be either π
Here at Dom Productions, our motto is show up, show out.
β‘οΈ Show up: Establishing your presence online through content.
β‘οΈ Show out: Itβs more than just having a presence. Itβs about being consistent. Itβs about posting high quality work. Itβs about getting vulnerable and loud and connecting with your audience on a deeper level.
People buy from people, not brands. And they can tell when youβre being fake. Thatβs why itβs important to be real and relatable.
So sure, you can simply show your product or service to your audience, but unless itβs mind-blowingly innovative or curing diseases, you really have to get in the head of your target demographic in order for them to buy.
Thatβs where we come in π€
Our mission is to help you as a business owner or marketing manager to show up and show out through professional visuals that stay true to your brand - aka photos and videos!
So if youβre ready to upgrade your content marketing strategy, let us help you tell your brandβs story.
Iβm your brand storyteller, aka the Dom Daddy.
Hi, Iβm Monique (she/her), Founder and Lead Producer at Dom Productions.
In what started off as a fun, small side hustle to shoot music videos for friends, I officially launched my business, Dom Productions, in 2019. At that point, I had already been freelancing for three years as a photographer and videographer for other small businesses too.

As a child, I loved cameras. I would always steal my parents' camcorder and disposable cameras to create my own videos and fill my own scrapbooks. I also loved to write stories and would work with my school librarian to print and bind my own books.
I desired a career that combined my love for visuals and creative writing, So I decided to attend Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University) to attain my Bachelor of Journalismβ¦ But omg I hated journalism π©
After graduating, I was hired as a content producer on a corporate marketing team. During my years in this position, I used professional photography equipment, worked on my video editing skills, and published blog posts on a national forum - telling stories through words and visuals. Sounds great, right? But I also faced countless micro-aggressions and experienced what I considered to be toxic workplace culture. No consideration for mental health, parental needs, or the POC experience.
So in 2019, I finally decided to leave and start my own business - one where I could give other women-of-colour the chance to upgrade their skills in the media production field, have a say in forming workplace culture, and influence business marketing strategies.
... and that's how Dom Productions was born! β€οΈβπ₯
Like many people, I live with anxiety disorder, and I think therapy helped me view entrepreneurship and marketing from a different lens. Unlike other freelancers or agencies, I like to have in-depth conversations with my clients prior to working together to get a better understanding of their brand, the backstory, their customer avatar, value proposition, etc.
I also struggle with handing my baby (my business) to other vendors, so I absolutely LOVE connecting with my clients, listening to their needs and letting them know they can trust me with their content.
Through this, Iβm able to create on-brand content that truly speaks to your audience.
And I just love what I do. This business is truly one of the best things to ever happen to me π

Growing up, I loved expressing my emotions through artβdrawing, photography, cinematography, interior design, you name it. I also always had a passion for helping people. Combining these two loves led to my dream of becoming an art therapist. But that dream never became a reality, as I didnβt quite fit into the Canadian University system. It wasnβt until I saw Justin Timberlake play an art director for GQ in Friends with Benefits that I realized how creative marketing could impact people in a positive way.
While I didnβt become an art therapist, I began freelancing to serve as my clients' sounding board, support system, and personal strategist, all while creating art through stationery with my brand, Oodles of Abi Doodles. It helps people connect with themselves and their loved onesβand I like to think that's pretty close to my original dream.

Your favourite temperature? Give me the sun but with 15 - 17 degrees hehe.
Something that makes no sense to you? Why doesn't New Year's start at the beginning of spring? Why does it start in the middle of winter instead?

βDom Productions truly understand the importance of creating a meaningful and authentic online presence. The team took the time to really listen to our vision and understand our goals. They have a true talent for capturing the essence of our brand in every photo they take (and making our teachers and students feel relaxed in front of the camera)!β β Stacy Chong Founder, Toronto Yoga Co
βWorking with Monique has really felt like the final piece of my rebrand. I feel really confident showing up online for my community. I love that I felt very comfortable in front of the camera and at ease. Looking forward to doing many more projects and collaborations with Dom Productions. Highly recommend!β β Azetta Young Founder & Brand Designer, Azetta Design Co.
