Photographing Families in Angola, Indiana

Wavemakers, Tri-State Gymnastics, the Carnegie Public Library, the YMCA of Steuben County…these are just a few of the places that have kept me crazy busy over the last few months. Between the kid’s activities, school, and trying to keep healthy food on the table, it feels like I haven’t had a second to breathe. I’m […]

Sweet Sisters: Studio Photography

These sweet and adorable sisters did an amazing job for their studio portraits. And I couldn’t be happier with the results.
However. I do believe Miss G had a talk with lil Miss E on their drive down to Angola that must have gone something like this…Miss G leans over toward her sister’s carseat and whispers: […]

{My} Family Photography: Angola, IN

So I sit down this evening with a glass of Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon (it’s not bad for cheap wine and everyone needs to have a favorite bottle of cheap wine on hand for not so special occasions) and a still warm from the oven oatmeal raisin cookie (or two) to write this blog post. […]

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 […]

What A Difference A Year Makes!

I’m not really sure what to say about this family. I keep writing and deleting. I’m trying to focus and get to the point but it’s hard to find the right words. Maybe that’s why I’m a photographer. I’m much better with pictures than words. So they were new clients last year (check out their […]

Family Photography: Angola, IN

Tonya Marie Photography enjoyed photographing another fabtastic (see previous post for explanation of that word) family in Angola, IN. I’m so lucky to have the most amazing and beautiful families in front of my lens. This family is the picture perfect example of the Matching But Not© philosophy. Each family member has their own style […]

Angola Studio Portraits: Sweet Sisters

Three sweet sisters visited me today for studio portraits. I could have squealed when I met them (but I didn’t want to scare anyone) because they are just that cute. I love how different they are…in looks and personalities. And to top it off, their mom brought a fabtastic (so that <= was a typo […]

Can You Keep A Secret? {Tonya Marie Photography}

Shh…can you keep a secret? I had a Celebrating Adoption session and it was fantastically fun. Do I really want you to keep it a secret? No! But here are a few things you might want to consider if you are interested in a CA session. I get tons of requests for sessions and unfortunately […]

Sweet Sisters {Northern Indiana Photography}

We went to (half of) a football game tonight. Go Hornets! So this post is going up a little later than I expect. I hope I didn’t make anyone stay up waiting to see their photos. Aren’t these girls just the sweetest sisters! Pictured below is the youngest and I just love her timid little […]

At The Park: Tonya Marie Photography

More from our playdate at the park in Angola, Indiana. These two twin brothers remind me of energizer bunnies. No they didn’t bring their drum set and they aren’t pink and fuzzy! But they are always going. And going. And going. I knew it would be tricky to get them to hold still. So we […]
