Happy World Down Syndrome Day

Happy 3/21. Today is World Down Syndrome Day. A day to celebrate people with 3 copies of the 21st chromosome. And today I’m celebrating my beautiful niece. Miss you lots…and yes, these are photos from Christmas. Guess I need to get back to blogging. That, and take another trip to Texas.

I do believe she is […]

Down Syndrome: Our Introduction

Our world was turned upside down on April 19, 2010. And by “our” I mean my family. We are close even when thousands of miles and a giant ocean separate us. It was on this date that we found out my sister was pregnant with a baby who has Down Syndrome. Since then, lots has […]

Beautiful Baby Photography

I just got back from visiting my newest niece in Austin, Texas. I have so much to catch up on and am certain I will be searching for the toothpicks to prop open my eyes tomorrow morning. But I have lots of people who are (im)patiently waiting to see newborn portraits. And. Well. Who can […]

6 Month Old: Angola, IN Studio Photography

This handsome 6 month old baby visited Tonya Marie at the studio in Angola, IN. How lucky am I to get my camera on this cutie patootie! 6 month olds are one of my favorite ages to photograph. They are curious, cute, and so charming…plus they usually can’t crawl away so I have a captive […]

Tonya Marie Photography: Portrait Season

It’s portrait season and I’ve been busy. I’m almost done with sessions for 2009 and I’m already starting to schedule for 2010! That is such a crazy good feeling to have clients planning that far in advance. I’ve been working like crazy editing, ordering, shipping, and delivering portraits. Meanwhile on the home front, Mount Laundry […]

Beach Photographer: South Haven, MI

The beach in South Haven, Michigan was the perfect setting for this sweet family photo session. I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy as a newborn and was so excited to see how he has grown. I was delighted to see his sparkling blue eyes, adorable crinkly nose, and such a charming personality. […]

Baby Photographer: Michigan and Indiana

Ahh…you just have to love a fresh, newborn baby? This little guy was very new to the world for his portrait session at only 4 days old. Big thanks to his mom and dad for contacting me so soon after he was born. It really makes working with the newest bundles much easier. Plus those […]

South Haven Michigan: Beach Photography

I have photographed with this family several times over the years and I look forward to each session. Mom always comes with amazing clothing choices: Matilda Jane (not pictured…hey, this is a sneak peek!) and Gap to name a few. Plus watching the girls grow and being able to record those precious memories is such […]
