ESTABLISHED 2013
Heirloom and Fine Art Photographer
Hello,
I'm La Tonya.
As a distinguished professional photographer, devoted wife, nurturing mother, passionate amateur baker, and discerning art curator, I invite you to explore my journey. My love affair with photography began over two decades ago during an art class in high school, where I discovered the profound ability of this medium to encapsulate fleeting moments and immortalize the beauty of love in all its exquisite forms.
Since embarking on my professional photography career in 2013, I have cultivated my craft with an unwavering commitment to artistry and excellence. My journey commenced in the charming town of Hampton, Virginia, a transformative period following the passing of my beloved mother. In her memory, I channeled my grief into a deep-seated passion for photography and art, allowing me to create timeless visual narratives.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of capturing life’s most cherished moments—from elegant events and milestone celebrations to intimate family portraits. My photography has evolved into a sophisticated art form, characterized by a unique blend of professionalism and an innate ability to connect with my clients, ensuring their visions are realized with unparalleled satisfaction. Join me as we create extraordinary memories that transcend time
