Keep it real. Honest, cliché-free photos with those genuine feels.

Look. Photoshoots shouldn’t be awkward and uncomfortable. They should be fun, inviting and capture your life’s most authentic moments… and that includes the ones that would make your grandma blush. Sounds good? Hell yeah. Let’s go.

Want to really get to know my vibe? Check out my anthem, performed and written by the talented Tim McGovern.

Fueled by caffeine, creativity, and dog cuddles, I’m proud to pursue my artistic passion for a living. I’m a true West Coast girl with a laid-back vibe. Beaches, Tacos and Margaritas? Yes, please!

No clichés or awkward poses – together we create honest photos with genuine feels! To me, “Nest & Love” is a blueprint for session success. When you’re grooving in your comfort zone, the proverbial “nest” with the people you love, doing what you love, everything CLICKS!

I love to travel. From Seattle to San Diego my clients are ready to show their authentic selves. If you’re a chill fun-seeker that isn’t afraid to get a little messy, we’d work well together.

"My husband and I lost our original photographer shortly before our elopement date. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were introduced to Tonya and quickly fell in love with her work. She worked with us on a short notice and ensured we had the photos we wished for. She will be our photographer for all photos from now on!"
