ESTABLISHED 2013
Heirloom and Fine Art Photographer
Hello,
I'm La Tonya.
I'm a professional photographer, wife, mother, amateur baker, and art curator, and I'm here to tell you my story. I found photography through my art class in high school over 20 years ago, and I love how I have grown to express my artistic abilities into photography and for its capacity to freeze moments in time, to document love in all its wild and wonderful forms.
I have been a professional photographer since 2013. I started in Hampton, Virginia, shortly after my mom passed away. It allowed me to channel my grief into her ongoing passion for photography and art. Since then, I have been capturing events, birthday parties, and family portraits. My photography has evolved over the years, which captivates each client with professionalism and satisfaction.
