About My Process

the process

- Laura

"I was looking for a photographer to take some pictures of my son on campus at the University of Michigan before he graduated. Tonya was recommended on one of my U of M parent groups, and I decided to give her a try. I'm so thankful that I did! She took gorgeous photographs of my son all around campus! I love them so much!! Tonya was very easy to work with and always replied quickly to my communications. I highly recommend her."

Families

Time flies, doesn't it? Remember when your kids were little? And now, in what seems like the blink of an eye, they’ve grown so fast.

As a photographer, I love capturing families and kids. Why? Because these photographs are time capsules. They freeze moments, ages, and emotions. They’re a glimpse into the laughter, the love, and even the quirky fashion choices that fill our lives. 

These portraits aren’t just about the present; they’re about creating a legacy that will be cherished by generations to come. When you invest in these memories, you’re investing in something timeless.

I would love to include your pet in your photo session! To make sure we get the best outcome please let me know in advance so that we can be prepared. You will also need to bring someone along with you to keep your furry friend entertained and restrained when they aren't in front of the lens.

No worries! A few days before your session, I’ll monitor the weather forecast. If bad weather (rain, wind, heavy snow) threatens our plans, I’ll reach out to discuss options and potentially reschedule. I normally wait until the day before your session to reschedule, because we all know how unpredictable Michigan weather can be!

To secure your session date, a 25% deposit is required. The remaining 75% is due on the day of your scheduled session.

I typically schedule sessions in the evening to capture that magical light. However, I’m flexible! Let’s find a time that works best for you!

I offer several packages at different price points. Most of them include product credits, allowing you the freedom to select not only your favorite images but also the format that works best for you! Additionally, I can create a custom package to suit your special needs. Feel free to contact me so that we can find the best option tailored just for you!
