Making Memories
You have learned the true meaning of LOVE. No one could prepare you for the amount of pride, infatuation, and fear that you are feeling right now. Don't worry, it's totally normal. All new parents have those emotions. You are doing amazing, and you know what? You've totally got this! This is a special moment in your family's journey, so let's talk about how to document it.
It’s possible that, like me, you've started realizing that one of the most important things you can do as a parent is to document today’s milestones, make them totally adorable, and turn them into cherished memories. Tack it to your fridge with plastic alphabet magnets, or parade it on Facebook & Instagram and count the comments. Or maybe you just want a single iconic image of your growing family to display huge on your wall to make a statement, like: "LOVE LIVES HERE!"
Who I am
I am a Full-time portrait photographer, born & raised in Charleston, South Carolina. I have been a professional photographer for 7+ years. I specialize in Children & their families. I have a private Newborn studio in my Mount Pleasant home, and it is overflowing with wardrobe & props. I am your style advisor, mother's assistant, and curator of family history. Together, you and I are going to create memories & art that will be cherished for generations to come.
What to expect
I am a boutique photographer. I provide my clients with a personalized experience that results in professionally developed products. Together, we will plan every detail of your photoshoot. Wardrobe, Location, style, and feeling are determined during a presession consultation.
My sessions are relaxed and executed with intention. I work with the end result in mind, I'm not concerned with a time clock or shutter count. My focus is to create beautiful imagery that my clients are eager to hang on their walls and share with friends & family.
I personally oversee the development, display, and delivery of all of my finished artwork. All photographs are securely archived in multiple locations for security.
These are the images your family will cherish, and this is the boutique experience that you deserve.
Newborn Photographer in Charleston, South Carolina
Hello, I'm Tonya
I know that hiring a photographer isn't all about the photos. You also want someone you can trust & have fun with. You are looking for someone with full-time dedication to their craft, who operates a trustworthy business. But most of all, you want someone who will make this experience enjoyable. I am that person.
I got into photography because I love to document time. It’s something that we can’t slow down, and we can't get it back. Photographs shape or memories and our identities. Photographs are our legacy for future generations to hold. They are the proof that we were here, we had a purpose, and we contributed to the world.
Photos are our signature in the guest book of life.
Why I love photographing newborns
announcement: Auntie or grandma up for adoption!
I have lots of love to give! Babies remind me of when my kids were tiny. Now my kids are grown, and I miss the days of snuggles, babbles, and first milestones. Photographing newborns gives me a baby "fix" while I patiently wait for the title of grandma!
