I’m a Jesus-loving, homeschooling, crunchy-ish wife, mama, and chaos coordinator to four wild and wonderful little humans here in Charlotte.
I know how fast these days fly by, which is why I focus on capturing those real, beautiful moments that tell your family’s unique story and help you hold onto this season just a little longer.
And let’s be real, sessions with little ones can be unpredictable (and that’s totally okay!). I bring patience, a plan, and the flexibility to go with the flow so your photography experience feels effortless and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
Curious about me and how I capture your family’s story? Take a peek!
Hi, I'm tonya!

"SOOOO TALENTED!! Tonya made me feel immediately comfortable and the images reflect that. Plus she has the most incredible eye for the small special moments.
Michelle + Jordan
Tonya is an extremely talented photographer and an absolute delight overall. She has taken newborn photos for both of my children and we could not be happier with the results each time.
Stephanie
Not only was she extremely personable, and was excellent with our two toddlers but she was amazing at capturing real life images. She made the process extremely easy and comfortable, and was gracious when our toddlers weren’t exactly cooperating.
time is precious
