LET'S MAKE SOMETHING beautiful TOGETHER.
Brittany W., HEADSHOTS IN MARYLAND
She responded quickly to my inquiry and I was booked in the same conversation. Her work is amazing! The photos she took were incredible, and she even had my headshots back to me the same day as the session! I could not be more grateful and happy with my decision to ask LaTonya to photograph my headshots. The next opportunity I get, I will definitely be reaching out to her to photograph whatever event it may be! To LaTonya, thank you so much for everything...I am so happy with my photos!
LaTonya is nothing short of incredible!
Stacey P., FAMILY PORTRAITS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA
She was excellent! We hired her for family pictures and our gender reveal party. The day was hectic, but LaTonya was there to deliver excellent photography and ease the stress. She was able to capture every moment of our reveal. I am so pleased with the pictures and will cherish them for years to come!
LaTonya is professional, creative, and so easy to work with!
Valerie M., MATERNITY PHOTOS IN WASHINGTON D.C.
LaTonya did an amazing job with my maternity photoshoot! She even found a great location for the shoot since I haven’t lived in the area long. Her energy and passion for capturing beautiful moments like this one definitely showed. Highly recommend her!
I WILL BE USING HER FOR ALL MY FUTURE PHOTOS!
Jennifer M., FAMILY PORTRAITS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA
I had the pleasure of working with LaTonya a Black Northern VA Portrait Photographer for family portraits. We are a family of eight, and she was creative while grouping and positioning us. I was very comfortable with her and didn’t feel rushed. She was also very patient with my toddlers! I can’t wait to have another session with her!
- I’m so in love with the pictures!!!
Gregory H., FAMILY PHOTOS IN WASHINGTON D.C.
LaTonya did a fantastic job capturing a special moment. From the beginning, she helped shape the moment and used her expertise to really capture emotion and feelings in her photos. I am beyond impressed with her work and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to "relive" the moment through photos! Looking back at her work makes me joyful and I really feel like I’m there again. LaTonya was timely, accommodative, and a pleasure to work with. I am very thankful for her professionalism and talent!
LaTonya did a fantastic job capturing a special moment!
aLISHA P., MATERNITY PHOTOS IN VIRGINIA
We have gotten so many comments on just how wonderful and captivating our pictures are. LaTonya was incredibly communicative, answered all my questions, and created a wonderful, easygoing experience. I really cannot say enough great things about her. If you are in the market for a photographer, hire her ASAP!
Our maternity photos are absolutely stunning!!!
