They will never be this little again. 🤍

The newborn days are so fleeting. When you're in the thick of it, the sleepless nights and endless cuddles can feel like they'll last forever. But then, somehow, you blink and that tiny baby is walking, talking and getting ready for their very first day of school.

I look at my own babies and wonder where the time has gone. It feels like only yesterday they were curled up so snugly in my arms.

And while we can't slow time down, we can hold onto little pieces of it.

The tiny fingers, the sleepy stretches, the way they fit so perfectly against your chest.

One day, these photographs will mean more to you than you could ever imagine.

You will never regret having photos of them this little.

Book the newborn photos. You'll be so glad you did. 🤍

Unpopular opinions from a family photographer. Some might ruffle a few feathers. 😂🌶️

After photographing families for years, and being a mum of three myself, there are a few things I feel pretty strongly about.

I don’t believe family photos should be about perfect outfits, perfectly behaved kids or everyone smiling at the camera.

I believe in letting kids be kids. In capturing the chaos, the cuddles, the belly laughs and all those little moments that make your family yours.

And mums, please get in the photos. I promise your kids aren’t looking at the things you’re insecure about. They’re looking at their mum. The person who was their whole world. 🤎

At the end of the day, I’m not here to photograph perfection. I’m here to capture real families, real connections and memories that will only become more precious with time.

And yes, I absolutely stand by what I said about the dads. 😂

Now tell me, which one do you agree with most? Or did I ruffle a few feathers? 👀🌶️

A little hello to all the new faces around here! 🤎

I thought I’d introduce myself properly because there’s been a few new followers lately!

I’m Tonya, the face behind Tonya Maree Photography, a mum of three little ones and someone who has spent pretty much her entire adult life working with children!

My background is actually in early childhood education, and I’ve been working with little people since I was 19.

In 2015, my husband and I got married and packed up our lives to move to Canada! 🇨🇦 I spent three of those years working as a private nanny for the most beautiful family, who I absolutely adored.

In 2021, we welcomed our first baby, moved back home to Australia a few months later, and somehow two more babies followed! So life these days is pretty busy, a little chaotic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😂

Photography has actually been part of my life since 2011! I started out photographing families and newborns, found myself photographing weddings while living in Canada, and eventually found my way back to where it all began, families, babies and all those beautiful little in-between moments.

I think my years working with children, and now being a mum myself, have really shaped the way I photograph families. I know kids aren’t always going to sit still, smile on command or do what we want them to do. And honestly, I don’t expect them to!

I love the chaos, the cuddles, the cheeky personalities and all the little moments that make your family yours.

So if you’re new here, welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way to my little corner of the world. Thanks for following along and supporting what I love doing. 🤎

Sweet little Dusty 🤍

What a little miracle he is. Born as a micro preemie, this beautiful boy has already overcome so much. Now 5 months old and thriving at home with his loving mama and dad.

His mama wasn't sure she'd ever get the chance to have newborn photos taken, which made capturing these moments all the more special.

Such a privilege to document this little chapter of their story. 🤍
