Love love love every single picture Tonya captured! We were traveling from out of town to spend a week in Cape Coral for Thanksgiving. We wanted some fun family pictures on the beach and she delivered. She stayed in contact with us in the couple weeks leading up to our photo shoot and she took the time to learn everyone’s names before hand. Her sweet and kind nature made this photo shoot so relaxing and we are more than pleased with our pictures. Thank you!!! More...

I really can't say enough good things about Tonya. Talented, current, prompt, friendly, fun - just what you'd want in a photographer! She's photographed so many special moments for our family and did it beautifully! She always manages to get amazing shots even when kids are cranky, newborns are uncooperative, weather is not ideal... I am so thankful to have found her a few years ago and hope she is a part of our photo memories for a long time! More...

Where do I even begin, from our first meet and greet to our engagement session at lata and my bridals in sumter to our wedding day Tonya and her crew were simply perfect. I couldn't have asked for an easier person to work with! She is so quick to respond to emails/texts and will do anything to make your experience perfect! It can be hard being with someone for 2 hours and being your self and taking pictures with someone you dont know but Tonya makes everything so natural. Just because our wedding is over, we will still be seeing them! Family sessions maturity pictures new borns she will always be my go to person! We love Tonya and jt photography!!!!!!!! More...

Tonya has been my go-to photographer for the past three years. We are BIG on candid moments when it comes to family or kid sessions. She is extremely patient, understands what is really required, and finds innovative ways to get the best out of these sessions just so that they don't appear redundant from the previous ones. One of her tricks is she lets you take your time, get comfortable , talk pretty, maybe let your hair down & just when you think she isn't looking or missed a moment.. She actually has captured what I'd like to call the "pre - moment , the moment & post- moment "set of shots. So, she is always on the job.. "On the hunt " as I'd like to joke to find your "special moment" to make it an exquisite memory. Her digital images & prints are such a treat! Did I mention "best rates in town"? More...

I would never go anywhere else except JT Photography. They have been my photographer of choice for over 5 years! They did my senior portraits, and a family shoot when I got engaged and had my first baby:)

I cannot say enough good things about Tonya and JT Photography. They were a pleasure to work with, and I absolutely LOVE my pictures! ! Tonya and her assistant worked hard the entire night capturing every moment. They were very patient with my family, who I'm sure got a little annoying with their own picture taking. She was very quick to respond to any questions I had leading up to the wedding, and she was very well organized throughout the process. I had complete confidence in her, and would recommend her to any bride! More...

Tonya from JT photography did an awesome job photographing our August Asheville wedding. She is extremely friendly and patient and did a great job capturing our day! We wanted fun images captured in a downtown setting and she completely got what we wanted. We definitely recommend JT Photography for anyone needing a great photographer near Salisbury and beyond!

JT Photography was awesome to work with. The quality of their work was outstanding, I would have expected to pay a lot more then their affordable prices. I used them for my engagement session, and my wedding day pictures and both were excellent. For my wedding, I had close to 900 pictures, and they were all beautiful. I also received a slide show of all of my pictures , which was really nice to have since we opted against having a videographer. I would highly recommend them to anyone, as I will be using them in the future. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I think you have to feel it. I mean - the lighting, the camera settings, the lens you choose all matter for sure - but I think you have to focus on each family/couple/client, how they interact and capture what is special about them. We are all unique and I love bringing out the best in people.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Tell me about yourself, your family, if you're getting married I want to know about who you are as a couple - what do you want to accomplish most from your session?
What do you love most about your job?
So many things! I absolutely love meeting new people, I love learning about their families, watching them interact and capturing their connections with each other, and ultimately, how happy they are when they see their final images!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I shot my first wedding in 2005 and I knew then I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. I shot weddings full time from 2008 to 2017 - then moved to SWFL - where I now focus on family sessions, maternity, proposals, intimate beach weddings and business head-shots.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe we should be a good fit, first & foremost. If you are looking for a relaxed, fun session with a good mix of traditional and candid photos, I'm your girl!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I will be happy to wear a mask if someone asks me to - but I do keep my distance and I'm not currently offering any tangible items. The client gallery will be emailed to them, where they can view their photos online, and download them there as well.
