"Your Fine Art Portrait Photographer"
I am a metro Atlanta based, fine art portrait photography artist who loves nothing more than to make magic with my camera! That's what it feels like to me when I am creating. I'm really laid back, unless I am in my creative zone. That special place that every artist loves to settle in, shifts me into being hyper focused with ideas swirling in my head. I get to channel all of that into creating artwork that reflects my clients in the most creative way.
My philosophy is to create images that are regal and refined. I love using textures, rich colors, and custom props to tell a story that is timeless. Every client I work with is given one on one attention, that leads to artwork that elevates and empowers them in all of their fabulousness.
A bespoke luxury for clients who want a completely transformative experience that elevates their portraits to the next level--art.
With a focus on children, families, and individuals who want their images to stand out from the typical aesthetic, I offer a full service experience of planning the concept, styling and wardrobe, through to how you want your images displayed on your walls. ----Tokie

THE EXPERIENCE
We will plan out all the details to create curated artwork of you and your family that evoke the strength, love, and magic that is your family. Each private session is tailored to make artwork that reflects the timeless beauty and strength of your children and family.
It truly is a playdate of dressing up and playing with our wardrobe and accessories closet. Access to our studio wardrobe, accessories, and curated props that help tell your story are included for every client. You are encouraged to bring artifacts and family heirlooms to add to the history being made with your images but its completely optional.
BEFORE
Before your session we will go over your vision of what you want me to create for you. I will guide you in selecting the perfect outfits and custom props, from what we have in studio or give recommends for where to purchase from. We will also discuss how you want to display your finished artworks.
DURING
Your personally styled shoot will last until we get the images that meet your needs! We will have plenty of time for outfit/accessory changes and one on one pampering. I will guide you through posing so that to make sure your photographs reflect the essence of your children and family.
AFTER
In 5-7 days, we will re-connect over Zoom, to select which images you want to purchase from your culled gallery. You're going to love them all but I will help guide you in selecting only the images that you truly love. Any dress puckers or stray hairs will be discussed as well. All the details matter and I believe in displaying every photograph in a complete polished fashion.
Before and After--Fine Art Edit
All of my art pieces start with a great people, careful styling, location scouting and staging of the studio. The real magic and artistry that takes your photograph into the realm of artwork comes when I start editing your images. It truly is an art form that I take pride in. Each of your art pieces is created one at a time by me, so that no detail is missed. This is incredible important, as most of my clients display their artwork at a large scale, where every detail can be seen.

Great sense of humor, professional, caring, and has the soul of a beast-mode artist! She was on point with the makeup, gowns, suits that made our family pictures a hit record. Tokie was extremely hands on and a lot of help. I had several questions before the shoot and she calmed my frustrating thoughts every step of the way. You would not be disappointed. Tokie makes sure her clients are extremely satisfied. I am the satisfied customer!

Tokie! We loved your attention to detail and the creative choices we had with our shoot! Thank you so much for capturing the love Ben Jr. has of golfing and for making him so comfortable in front of the camera. I felt and looked like a queen in my photos. My favorite images were the steam punk inspired theme the guys had as well as the father son photos! Thank you so much for creating for our family.

The Primping She Will Always Remember
It’s really hard to get my family together for pictures. I mean it’s complete DRAMA! I was super thankful that Tokie was patient with us. She calmed the entire family down. Not only that our session did not take long! The ultimate part was our pictures were SUPERB. I hope that the photos are something my great grandchildren look to for how our family began. Thank you Tokie for your excellent works of art.
