Tonya Bolton has been a professional photographer since 2011.  She has focused on senior portrait photography since 2015 and has become a leading expert in the genre. She quickly grew her business to six figures with 90% of her income from senior portraits alone. Tonya started teaching other photographers how to be successful business owners in 2019 and has only expanded her love for educating others by starting her own photography education magazine called Capture.  This magazine features the talent of the Ohio Valley creatives contributing their experience and knowledge through imagery and written articles.

Tonya’s work has been published in multiple magazines featuring the best senior portrait photographers nationwide and worldwide. She has won several local awards from her community for her exceptional work and outreach within the photography industry.  She wants everyone to succeed in business because she knows they can with the right advice. “I was helped when I first started my business.  Thank goodness I fell into the right group of people who helped me avoid years of mistakes.  I want to pay that forward and help others get their business on the fast track to a six figure income.  My business has changed my life.  I don’t have to work 40+ hours per week and I get to travel whenever I want.  That is a dream job and I want everyone else to have their dream job, too.” Tonya is very active in the photography community locally. She hosts free in-person meetups to discuss business with other photographers who need specific help, or just have questions about business, in general.
