Tonya's Portrait Session 12-22-10

I had spoke with Tonya quite a bit via email... it was so nice to finally meet her in person! Tonya was so totally sweet... and I really enjoyed shooting these "Just Because" portraits for her...... Sometimes... its best to not have a reason at all for portraits! But I was glad her mom tagged along... Im sure she will cheerish her mother/daughter pics for years to come!

I feel the LOVE ! 12-22-10
