As a mama myself, I get it—checking family photos off your to-do list can feel daunting. There’s so much to juggle: outfits, naps, snacks, and hoping everyone stays meltdown-free (at least for a little while!).

That’s why I work hard to make this experience simple and enjoyable from start to finish. Stressed about outfits? I’ve got you covered. Not sure where to have your session? I’ve got location ideas ready. Worried your kid won’t sit still? Don’t be! We’re here to have fun, not take stiff photos. Psst—I'll try to grab that framer shot first!

My goal is to take the stress out of photoshoots so you can feel prepared, have fun, and focus on what really matters: being with your family. This isn’t just about “getting photos done”—it’s about slowing down and connecting with the ones you love while I capture those genuine moments as they unfold.

Time is a thief, and at the end of the day, I want you to walk away with a gallery of images that capture this chapter of your life—the little details you’ll never want to forget. Photos you'll be excited to hang on your walls and share with the people you love, cherishing the moments that truly matter.


I'm Tonya! Wife, mama to 4, Believer, homeschooler, and chocolate chip cookie addict. 

Hey there!

Jesus, motherhood, the semi-crunchy life, homeschooling, and free-thinking.

Passionate About

Our home on a humble patch of land with a garden, chickens, goats and watching my happy barefoot children from the window.

Dreaming Of

Slow mornings, hot coffee in the winter, iced in the summer. Comfy clothes over dressy—always. Living that soccer and dance mom life.

The Simple Joys

I love curling up with a good book, a great workout first thing in the morning, and creating memories with my family.

In My Free Time

getting to tell your family's story is what lights me up

"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.
