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: […]

The quirky ballerina just turned 6. She’s spunky, loyal, and stubborn.

She likes to catch worms and eat spaghetti.

She likes to explore and be outdoors.

She likes sleep in Saturdays and Justin Bieber.

She likes to be in front of the camera…if I pay her a dollar.

She likes the color purple and wants to be an art teacher […]

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 […]

How did you get so cute! I believe I said that 113 times at this session. Over and over. But I just couldn’t help myself and I’m sure you will see why as you scroll down for the amazing studio portraits. This much cuteness should be illegal. Seriously.
Now we all know that photographing 3 kiddos […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The handsome 3.5 year old pictured below is just the sweetest, most well mannered, adorable guy you would ever want to meet. Seriously.
Yes, he is a familiar face on the Tonya Marie blog and website as I’ve been honored to photograph him since he was a newborn. And this weekend, I had the chance to […]

This beautiful little newborn was just 5 days old for her first photo session with Tonya Marie Photography. There is just something so irresistible about newborns. So warm and snuggley. To all the new moms and dads out there, make sure you take the time to enjoy these precious and fleeting moments during your babies […]
