Oregon Coast Proposal & Elopement Photography

Living by the ocean has taught me that beauty isn’t always polished—it’s raw, wild, and ever-changing.

That same energy flows through my sessions, where I guide and pose while letting the laughter, movement, and unexpected moments shape what we create. Whether we’re on windswept beaches at Cape Kiwanda, dramatic cliffs at Yaquina Head Lighthouse, or in your own cozy space in Lincoln City, it’s not fully candid, it’s not fully posed. 

The sweet spot between the two is where the sparks fly.

Hi, I'm Tonya —

I turn Depoe Bay’s wild beauty into moody, unforgettable art. Gamer, plant fanatic, and Disney-obsessed goofball—I bring experience, spontaneity, and a witty sense of humor to every session.

Why work with me? As a Canadian, I’m legally obligated to be ridiculously kind and pleasant. I create a safe space for people to be themselves and enjoy being photographed.

I bring years of hands-on experience and education—plus I’m good with people, and bring my nurturing mom energy.I shoot in a hybrid style: part candid, part intentional direction. Your photos will feel natural, and elevated. It’s not just a skill—it’s my superpower.

While I’ve turned third-wheeling into a career, photo sessions aren’t just for lovers. I’m here for every milestone—graduation, divorce, new business, new baby, or just a new chapter.

In my free time, you’ll find me gaming (Halo, anyone?), diving into board game nights, nurturing my ever-growing plant collection, or exploring the Oregon Coast with my family and my three pups. I’m based in Depoe Bay, Oregon, but my passport’s ready and I’m ready and willing to travel.

If you want to feel seen, celebrated, and maybe a little like a rockstar, I’ve got you.

Fresh work from the gram.
