  • "Tonya was wonderful!! She was everything other reviewers said. She came with lots of props and really spent her time getting our baby in different positions and ensuring she was sleepy. We haven't seen the pictures yet but spending 5 hours with our baby I'm sure they will be beautiful."

  • "Our favorite part of working with Tonya is her experience, creativity and relaxed spirit. As all of us parents know, it’s really difficult for toddlers to sit still and pose, yet Tonya has the gift to click at just the right time to produce some facial expressions we didn’t even notice on Emily before. She just makes it happen, we can’t even explain it, Tonya is the kid-whisperer!"

  • "There are no words to describe Tonya. From the moment she walked in our door, we felt like we’d known her for years. She put us at ease with her professionalism and warm personality. As a mom herself, she knew exactly what to do with our newborn —- soothing, maneuvering, etc. Tonya, got right to work. Looking for the best lighting and getting to know our little girl. She came with all the swaddles and bows and props. She spent almost 2 hours with us capturing our little girl by herself, with mom and with dad. The time with her flew by! When the pictures came in, I couldn’t help but cry. She captured our little ones personality and cuteness perfectly. The lighting, warmth, quality, variety of pics, and overall outcome was far more than we expected. Can’t wait to use Tonya for our littles girls 1st birthday!" - Lindsay C.
