"We’ve used Tone in the past and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future. I absolutely love her style. She has a special way of easily capturing the tender moments between parent and child. It’s so hard for Moms to make it into pictures with their kids, but Tone has left us with so many precious memories of our family at this stage. I’m not sure how we will choose which photos to print; there are so many that we absolutely love! She was easy to work with and went above and beyond our expectations. During the shoot, Tone really took the time to connect with my kids. My 6-year-old loved getting to know her and my 2-year-old was comfortable with her behind the camera. Their sweet personalities really came through in the images she captured. I am amazed at how she uses the natural setting and light to produce incredible results. Thank you Tone for capturing these beautiful moments for our family!" Caitlin Rot

"Tone was amazing. We had a photoshoot with my sister who has a rare form of dementia. Tone was great with her. She was able to capture her spirit and make it a fun outing for her. She picked the perfect place and spent all the time we needed to get some amazing pictures. She is reasonably, highly professional and a great artist. On top of everything she is a wonder person with great energy. Thank you Tone for the gift of these photos." Debbie Fligeleman

“Cannot say enough about the talented photography work of Tone Stockenstrom! We keep coming back for more sessions and there will be many more in our future. She photographed our third child shortly after birth and the images captured are our most treasured keepsake. Since then we have had other family sessions which so perfectly tell the story of the where we are as a family at that given moment. Her story telling through pictures is a natural talent, one that I don't think can be learned.
I also have to mention her amazing usage of light and natural surroundings...and of course, the ease of working with her. Her skills with children are wonderful and her endearing qualities of being a mother shine through with her patience. Tone pays incredible attention to detail in capturing the tenderness and sweet innocence of children. I searched for a long time for a photographer whose work I love and someone whom I also enjoy as a person. Tone is definitely that photographer. We will never use anyone else to give us our memories in photos. Thanks, Tone!!” Melissa Harvey
