Sable & Kiki

"Tonya was such a pleasure to work with! She is the perfect photographer if you're looking to combine great photography and working with animals. She's very patient, understanding, and accommodating.  I really appreciate Tonya's expertise and opinion. In addition, she is honest, genuine, and caring. I really like Tonya's artistic style. Her pictures are clear, natural, and vibrant. In a few years, we will be going back to Tonya to shoot in a different location. Thank you, Tonya!"

Chobee

"Tonya is awesome! I had many stunning and gorgeous photos of my cat Chobee! I'm so happy to meet Tonya!  She knows a cat very well and how to handle a cat for amazing photos. I enjoyed the photo session with her. She is kind, gentle, generous, and so professional. Because her photos are super fantastic, I made prints, a Canvas, an acrylic, and the deluxe album! Everything is precious and very high quality. I never regret this investment. (My original plan was to buy digital files but I changed my mind because of her stunning photos).
It is a wonderful way to enjoy and experience the photos of my cat. I'll hire her again for portraits of all my pets."

“I'm breathless.  Your work with my Maggie is beyond beautiful.  Thank you so much for the quality and quantity of time you gave to photographing her.  You are indeed everything in person that your website shows. My precious Maggie left this earth in February, I still savor the amazing photos you took of her two years ago. Having you capture her life on film was the greatest investment I ever made.”

Zeze

"We found Tonya in late 2017 when we wanted photos taken of our two darling kitties. While there are lots of photographers out there, Tonya stands out because of her compassion, dedication and love of animals, something that is clearly reflected in her extraordinary photos. She knows how to work with the outgoing animals, as well as the shy and reserved fur babies (we had one of each). Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to one kitty just a few weeks after the photo session, and the memories Tonya was able to capture brought us so much comfort and joy. I am so truly thankful we got to work with Tonya and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services!!"

Ariel

"Oh, My. GOSH!!! Tonya, these are amazing. AMAZING. I laughed and cried as I scrolled through the gallery. There are some shots that are so quintessentially “Ariel” they take my breath away. Like her little back end as she walks away under the table. I have seen her do that so many times and I know it’s going to be one of those things I “see” her doing out of the corner of my eye long after she’s gone. I’m gobsmacked by these photos. It’s almost too much (which is oddly a very beautiful thing). How did I get so lucky to know you so this could be possible??!"
