Fall Family in Angola

Mother Nature is definitely showing us her beautiful colors this fall. And it was a perfect day to photograph this gorgeous, active, and fun family. They are actually one of the first families I met when I moved to Angola, Indiana 8 years ago and it’s great to reconnect with them. indiana_family_photography indiana_teen_photographerimg_0157aw tween_indiana_model_photographer

Fierce, Strong, Beautiful

Confident, smart, muscular, driven, gorgeous…I could go on describing these girls but I think you get the idea. We had some fun in the studio creating some artistic images that highlight their athletic strengths. And no, there’s no magic photo-shopping here…just portraits that were lit correctly..and years of hard training in the gym doesn’t hurt either.

Then we headed outdoors to enjoy the beautiful fall colors.

Fall Photos: Hamilton High School Senior

This Hamilton High School senior loves to be bare foot, has cool eyes with flecks of orange, and wants to be a bio-medical engineer. She’s also super sweet and gorgeous! We took advantage of the cool and crisp fall weather and captured the amazing views. Thanks mother nature for your cooperation!fall_tonya_marie_indiana_pics

Angola, Indiana: Family Photographer

What do you do when one college student is home from Purdue and the other kiddo is soon to be off to serve in the military? You schedule for a family photo of course! I was truly honored to be the one to photograph this amazing family. Besides the fact that they are all sweet, loving, and super cool people…the camera just loves them! Aren’t they gorgeous!

Gorgeous Family Photos: Angola, Indiana

I know how challenging it is to schedule, prepare for and plan your family photos! Just the thought of getting multiple kiddos dressed, hair brushed, and happy faces on is enough to tire anyone out. But when you put the effort in and hire a profession to take care of the rest, the result will be portraits that are cherished for a lifetime.

And this family is the perfect example. We have talked about making these photos happen for over a year. Sports, school, and schedules with six people made it challenging but I’m so glad we finally made it happen. Such a gorgeous, sweet, and fun family!

Check back here later this week for a few more sneak peeks.

Pass the Tissues: Time Travel

I had the honor of recently photographing my long time clients turned friends. We started the session with hugs all around and ended sharing stories and a meal around the dinner table. I have to say this was our most fun and relaxed session in the nine years I’ve know them.

And of course it’s fun when I have this cutie in front of my camera!

And then there’s the look back in time beginning in May of 2007 when this little guy was fresh from the hospital and under 5lbs. if I remember correctly.

At 6 months he was trying to eat my props…

It has definitely been a wonderful trip down memory lane. I can’t wait to see what the next nine years bring! Hugs and Kisses

Family Photos: Picture Perfect Property

It’s always an honor to be selected to photograph a family. The family portrait is something that will be displayed in your home for many years, often serving as a focal point of the main living area and eventually becoming an heirloom for future generations.

This family has a picture perfect property with a log cabin, split rail fence, and natural trails. They also coordinated their clothing and the results are stunning!

What’s on your wall?

Stunning Senior: Angola, Indiana

Isn’t she STUNNING! Wow. The camera loves her…and I don’t think she had a stitch of makeup on. This was such a fun and easy senior session in the Tonya Marie Photography outdoor studio. Finnegan the puppy even got to join in the fun. Can you say adorable! This 2017 senior is going places! Literally.
