- Planning a family photo session can feel like a lot, right? Picking out outfits, finding the perfect spot, and trying to keep everyone smiling—or at least cooperating!
- You want photos with a genuine feel. A few smiles at the camera, sure, but mostly those candid moments! The laughter, the sweet snuggles, and beautiful chaos.
- You’re after heartfelt photos you’ll love to hang on your walls and share with family and friends, but you’re not quite sure where to start.

Jess
"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.

Once your date is locked in, the fun really begins! I’ll guide you through every step—from choosing the perfect location to styling tips that match the vibe. Trust me, styling is a game-changer when it comes to creating those stunning, timeless images you’ll love.
02. Plan & Style
Pick your day, and let’s make it official! Once your quick questionnaire is done and your retainer is paid, you’re all set.
01. Book Your Spot
the experience
whats next
Short answer: Yes, but I totally get it, messing with bedtime isn’t always fun. But that golden hour light is so worth it! It also depends on the location chosen, but if it's outdoors, it's golden hour! My best tip? Plan ahead for a little bedtime shuffle. Trust me, you won’t regret those dreamy, glowing photos.
Does our family session have to be during sunset?
01.
Kids are naturally unpredictable, and that’s part of the fun. The best thing you can do is to stay in the moment. Smile at their silliness, give them the sweetest hug if they’re feeling shy. I promise I will look for every opportunity to capture beautiful images within these moments!
What if my kids don't want to cooperate?
02.
Styling is a big deal! It sets the whole mood of your photos. Once you book, you’ll get a styling guide packed with outfit ideas that look amazing and work perfectly with my editing style. Want to hit the easy button? The Keepsake Collection is your effortless, all-in-one styling experience.
What should we wear to our session?
03.
Yes! A $150 non-refundable retainer secures your session date, with the remaining balance due five days before your session, giving you time to space things out. Booking a bundle? Payment plans are available to make it even easier. And yes, gift cards are available too. They make such sweet baby shower gifts or a sweet addition to a baby registry!
Do you offer payment plans or gift cards?
