PUBLISHED WORK
Hi there, I’m Tonya,
A photographer based in Jacksonville, Florida, and I’ve had the privilege of capturing life’s most beautiful moments for the last 20 years. From weddings to growing families, from first smiles to the big life milestones, I've had the honor of being a part of these stories, and it’s been an incredible journey.
Photography is about more than just capturing an image — it’s about telling a story, preserving memories, and sharing a piece of your world. As a creative, I put my heart and soul into every shot. It can be a vulnerable experience, but there’s a certain joy that comes with creating something that resonates, and that’s where the magic happens. The more authentic I am, the more freedom I have in my work, the more my clients and I connect — and that’s when the best moments are captured.
Along the way, I’ve been fortunate enough to have my work published, which has been such a rewarding experience. But it’s not about the accolades — it’s about the people I’ve met, the couples I’ve watched grow, and the families I’ve had the privilege of documenting. I’m grateful for every client that has trusted me with their story, and I’m beyond excited for the stories yet to come.
Thank you to all my past clients for making this journey so incredibly fulfilling. And to those of you I’ll have the pleasure of working with in the future, I can’t wait to create something beautiful together.
Let’s make memories.

I'm so incredibly lucky to have been featured on blogs and magazine print through the years.
I've also won various "couple's choice" awards from The Knot, WeddingWire, and Void's #1 in the 904.
