There are so many amazing photos! I absolutely love them! 🥰🥰🥰🫶 The hardest part is choosing a favorite — I love them all! 🥰 I love how you always manage to capture real emotions and find the most flattering angles at the same time. I swear, I always look better in your photos than I do in the mirror! 😄
I had a quick look at them on my phone! I really, really loved the photos 🥰 They feel so warm… I don’t know why, but I was expecting not to like myself in any of them, and I ended up loving them all 😄😘 Everything always looks beautiful through your eyes 😍
I'm lucky to know Tonia personally, and her work is every bit as impressive as she is. She photographed our team during the skûtsjesilen in Friesland, and the results were outstanding. The whole crew was thrilled with the final images. Thank you, Tonia, and keep up the amazing work!
Our first photoshoot with Tonia was almost ten years ago. Since then, we’ve taken countless more photographs together, and they’ve become a truly priceless part of our family’s story. I love her style and distinctive touch - no elaborate sets, artificial decorations, or props. Just us, our children growing up far too quickly, and those precious moments together that Tonia captures with such sensitivity and intuition. Her professionalism speaks for itself in her photographs. But I want to mention what you don’t see straight away: how easy she is to talk to, her sincerity, and the boundless love she has for her work and her clients.
Tonia is an incredibly talented photographer! We had our first photoshoot back in 2016 in Ukraine, followed by several more in New York and Princeton. From city walks and couples sessions to more personal shoots, every experience has been amazing! She always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and her ability to capture beautiful, natural moments is incredible. I can’t recommend her enough!
This is probably my most beautiful photoshoot ever! How do you do it? 😍😍😍 I love it so much! Thank you for seeing me this way 🤍❤️
