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 […]

Rain, rain, go away. Did I really hear snow in the forecast? Anyway, I know it will warm up. And it must be getting close to summer because my inbox has been full of clients wanting beach sessions in South Haven and seniors wanting to grab a spot before we get filled up.
Yes, I said […]

Spring must be coming, right?!? Well, the calendar now says March and I have lots of people ready to schedule summer sessions, so it must be. In honor of spring, we did some updating to the official Tonya Marie Photography website so pop on over there and take a peek.

And don’t forget to check back […]

Breaking News: it is cold and snowy outside. Okay, I guess it’s not really news. That’s just what happens in the winter in Indiana and Michigan! So all of my recent portrait sessions have been in studio…though I’m always game for some outdoor snow portraits as well!
I thought it’s about time I shared a few […]

Mother Nature didn’t exactly cooperate with my most recent high school senior portrait session. But this senior braved the wild wind, cold temps, and even some rain and never complained!

We started off […]

I may have had a future Alma College Scot in front of my camera lens last weekend. *M* and I were chatting about her plans after she graduates from high school and I was super excited to hear she is considering Alma, College. With a aspirations of becoming an MD or a small business owner, […]

I’m not going to lie. These boys made me work to capture their portraits. They had me singing my ABC’s, making crazy animal noises, and even playing with a hockey puck. Yep. It was a busy session. But that is what happens when you hang with the little ones. And honestly, I love seeing their […]

I’m so lucky to have photographed another gorgeous senior on the beach in South Haven, MI. I’m always so excited to finally meet my seniors and get to know them a bit during their sessions. This senior was super sweet, easy to work with (even after taking that pesky ACT test in the morning!), and […]
