Brothers at the Beach
These handsome brothers came all the way from Chicago for their beach session...and what a fun session it was! The first image is from the very first click of the camera. I guess they didn't need much time to warm up to me. Their energy and enthusiasm really shine here. And the last is at sunset after we took a little break for a quick game of cornhole/bean bag toss (notice the gorgeous light!).

Senior's Sparkle
I couldn't resist adding another gem from this session. We timed the session perfectly and were able to take full advantage of the light. The sun flare captured here is not a photoshop technique but was intentionally created as I was shooting.

We Laughed
This senior session was so fun! Every time I asked for a serious look, we just ended up laughing. And hello!?! Isn't she absolutely stunning.
I've been so busy I haven't even had a chance to look at the studio images. But I will try and post some on my official website early this week so check in there for more images.

Isn't Eight Great?
Yes, that's just eight days old. And such a beautiful newborn too! Normally babies this young will sleep away while I arrange them in cozy cute baby positions. But this guy had other plans. He was awake and alert for most of the session. And he really made me work for the images we captured. But it was SO worth it...

Absolutely Adorable!
I will be back to add more later...


Happy 3 Months little one! This handsome guy did an awesome job for his session. He's so good natured and sweet...a great conversationalist too. Can't wait to see you for your 6 month portraits!

It's A Beautiful Day...
Don't let it get away...sorry, pardon my singing. But it really is a beautiful day. And I had such a beautiful senior to work with today, I couldn't help but come inside for just a few minutes and post some images from this morning's session.

Top Secret Plans
I'm back to share a few more of Mr. S with the biggest, most expressive brown eyes! I don't know who could resist this handsome guy. Oh, and did I mention he's a smart little one? By the end of the session the two of us came up with our own plan to start a new business together. Shhhh...it's top secret.

Warning: Contagious Giggles & Smiles Ahead

I had the pleasure of photographing these two little girls last summer and it was a joy to see how they've grown and changed over just one year! Their giggles, smiles, and antics made for a super enjoyable session.
**Side Note: My voice mail is full of messages and I will be returning calls tomorrow. July and August are almost completely booked. But there are openings for September and October...and it's not too early to scheduling your fall portrait session.

We're Back...
I'm super busy with sessions and editing but I've had several people asking to see this image ASAP. It's such a fun and crazy capture. If you haven't visited lately, take a minute and check out what's new at Tonya Marie Photography.

I'm On Vacation But...

I just want to quickly pop in and post an image of this adorable little guy. I haven't even had time to look at all of the files from this session but couldn't resist showing off his gorgeous brown eyes and adorable expression.
