Photographer
Meet the
If we were chatting in person, I’d say let's grab a coffee, get cozy, and probably get waaaay too excited hearing about your story. But since we’re not and I haven’t mastered telepathy (yet), here’s a little bit about me.
Life and 9+ years behind the camera have definitely shifted my work & approach from what used to be more of a fun, laughing too loud, blasting music kind of energy - into what’s now much more of a relaxed, calm, let’s catch up & capture some lasting photos kinda vibe.
My ultimate aim is to make you feel beautiful, feel loved, & leave you with beautiful photos to enjoy now & forever.
and I'm so happy that you're here, welcome friend!
Hi, my name is Toni G
About me
As we all know, time flies by way too fast (especially when you have little ones) - being intentional about taking the time to slow down and capture photos to remember exactly where you are in this current season is so, so important.
It's truly been such an honor to be trusted with telling so many stories over the past 9+ years - but even more than that... to get to hear about your hearts, your dreams of growing families, then start seeing the life you once prayed for come true, & to be hired again to capture the newest stages of your lives has been the real gift.
I'm a retired adventurer who now loves the slower things, and I believe life is art.
After college, I auto-piloted into the typical soul-sucking cubicle job while my dad was making his journey into heaven. Over that painful summer, I really realized how short life is - waaay too short to spend most of your life behind a desk doing a job that you're not even remotely passionate about.
I quit my job, booked a couple workshops from photographers I admired, brought their "care-free" candid styles of shooting back to the Fresno area, created some community for other like-minded photogs, & now I have the best job in the whole world. God is soo good!
... but yet, here we are.
You see, I didn't plan on becoming a photographer
So, How did I end up here?
I'm glad you asked.

"Toni has a very special character trait of making people feel like you've been her best friend their whole life"
I genuinely care about & pray over every single couple & family that books with me - not just as clients, but as friends. To trust me with taking photos of some of the most precious moments of your whole life is not something I take lightly.
My aim is to create an easy-going atmosphere where you feel comfortable truly being yourselves - and after the photos are finished, then to stay in your lives as an encourager, and friend.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to consider me as your photographer. I hope you feel comfy here & that I get to meet you in person soon. Xx
Consider me your photographer, encourager, and friend.
Spoiler: working with me is more chill than you think.
