LaTonya Williams Photography

LaTonya Williams Photography I love any and everthing about taking pictures! Feel free to contact me anytime for any questions you may have.

I've been capturing memories for years, but recently began to shoot more and more, so I decided to dig in and make what I studied in college more than just a hobby- smart, huh?! As photographers know, it takes more than just a great camera to be a photographer- good thing I have so much more to offer you! I'm a single mom of 3 girls, so trust me- I don't sleep :-)

It's been a minute, but it's like riding a bike! Enjoying being back in the game today 💕🙌🏾

Always take the picture you really want.

KT: I want this picture of me and Antoine in the water naked.. if I ask him, he'll say no, but if you ask him, he'll say yes.
And she was right- and you know the picture I'm talking about. One of the most gorgeous images I've ever taken.
Not this one, but it's from this session and with the help of her husband's buns, that image went crazy viral super fast and haters kept reporting it so many times, my accounts were getting closed, so I can't post it anymore and honestly, I don't even know what my point is right now, but take the damn pictures you truly want to take.

I miss her.

She was always telling me how much she learned from me, but I promise that I learned just as much from her. Even as my world is crying, seeing all of the pictures of her with everyone makes my heart so, so happy.

'Black history is not just about the past, it’s about the promise of our future.'

As Black History Month comes to a close, I wanted to do something intentional. Something powerful. Something that plants seeds early.

This year, I chose to showcase a group of our 2/3 year olds from Bartlett Center and I invited them to step into roles society hasn’t always expected us to hold. And boy, did my babies show out 🙌🏾

A male nurse
A female judge
A female police officer
A male business tycoon
And of course, a female presidentđź’•

Each child held books about Black history and Black professionals, because representation matters, and exposure matters even more. The majority of these babies have been at Bartlett Center since they were infants. They are growing up in a place that reminds them daily that they can do and be anything. This session was just a visual affirmation of what we already pour into them.

We actually had to change the session location at the last minute. And honestly? It turned out exactly how it was meant to. Instead of a staged space, you see them in their 'home.' The classrooms and hallways that have helped raise them. The place that nurtures their confidence.

There’s something beautiful about that, because it reminds us that no matter your surroundings, you can be amazingly brilliant, incredibly beautiful, and destined for greatness. You don’t have to wait for perfect conditions to become powerful.

I also included black and white outtakes from the session. Those are some of my favorites. They capture their innocence. Their laughter. Their wiggles. The serious concentration between takes. The joy. The hard work. The magic of being little while dreaming big.

Black history isn’t just something we study in February.
It’s something we build every single day at Bartlett Center, in our community, in our lives.

And these babies?
They are the future we’ve been praying for.
Love on my babies, share their stories because they worked so hard for us! A special thanks to Ms. Angie and Ms. T for chasing, dressing, catching the babies and for helping me bring my dream to life đź’•

I met a crew of tiny humans who reminded me it's Black History Month, so just wait until you see what we've created 🙌🏾

It's been a hiatus, but I've truly missed this life, one of my first loves. I can't do as much as I used to do, but I'll definitely be doing more than I've been recently doing... and a love like this was the perfect way to kick off a Happy New Year!

Welcome to a world filled with Beautiful Nightmares... where once a year, beautiful little princesses become your worst nightmares!
They may look innocent, but behind their sweet disposition lies their alter ego!

The girls had so much fun, but I honestly had more fun than they did! Plus, how amazing are they to get into characters of movies they've never even seen?!

Today is the day to experience a few Beautiful Nightmares- stay tunedđź’•
