I finally figured out how to work my Google Analytics and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
My numbers are definitely smaller than most photographers, but I am so happy with the number of visits I get to my little blog. It makes me really happy.
But then I started thinking…(UH-OH)…and I want to know who you all are!!! I mean I truly want to meet every single one of you, even if it means only being internet friends!
So today is THE day. The day for you to stop being so shy and introduce yourself! Yes, that means you too…I’ll even go first.
Hello.
My name is Tonhya…with an “H“.
I’m a daughter/sister/photographer/Jesus-lover/loud-laugher/big-eyed/crazy-dancer/classical-music-listener/shower-singer/big-dreamer/unhealthy-eater/Goodwill-hunting girl.
Okay, your turn. GO.
And because every post is better with a picture. Here is an oldie but goodie.

Hi Tonhya with an h,
I go by Lucky, but I don’t believe in luck. I’m a wife, mother, photographer, dreamer, laugher, artist, listener, friend. Maybe I’ll see you tonight at PUG? Ooh, I hope so π Some of us are meeting beforehand for dinner at 6 if you wanna come!!! XoxO, Lucky
Hi I am Kymberly Janelle.
Jesus Freak. Dreamer. Lover. Dancer. weak without HIM. weakness for chocolate chip cookies. blogger. Nanny. Sister. Daughter. I AM BLESSED by His love.
Hi Tonhya. My name is Brandi. I can’t remember how I stumbled upon your blog but I love your work and have been following for a little while now. π
Hi Tonhya! I’m Paul and I’m also a photographer. If I were to trust Google, I’d say I’m slightly less known than you. So see, you’re more popular than somebody already!
I’m a husband, father, photographer, coach, who is on a serious ice cream kick. That last one might have something to do with summer coming. π
I’m also a fan of your work! Keep it up!
Hello Tonhya! I’m Erin. I found your blog through Iβ₯Faces. Love your work! I am first and foremost daughter to the Living God. I am a wife and a mother (which is the main reason I spend a good part of my time behind a camera or in front of a computer), I’m an artist, a baker, a giver, silly and singer–behind closed doors :), with a recently renewed passion for Christ. Oh and I no longer have a gallbladder. Nice to meet you. π
Hi Tonhya! My name is Abbey and I’m just starting out on my journey in photography. I found your blog as a result of a google search I did on Zach and Jody Gray (I attended their workshop this past weekend in CT and it was AMAZING)!!!!! Just wanted to say that I admire your work and I’ll definitely be commenting more often!
Hello Tonhya, my name is Jessica. I’m a mother/wife/photographer/brown-haired home-birther/soon-to-be chicken owner/Puget Sound-loving/blog-stalking girl. I think I found you through IHeartFaces not too long ago. Great work!
Hi my name is Monic’ we have been friends since 2nd grade I believe, Im pretty sure I stalk your blog daily.:D
Hi Tonhya! Nice to “meet” you π
My name is Kris, and I’m a photographer/jewelry maker/silversmith who lives, works & plays in Edmonton (and where ever else our travels may take us!).
I somehow came across your site through iheartfaces … love your photos, and am looking forward to seeing more!
Hey Tonhya, I’m Nataliya, me and my husband live in Duvall, a little further on the eastside! I just started a little photography business of my own. I lovveee your work, your photos are gorgeous, i’ve been stalking your blog for a couple of weeks now:)
Hi Tonhya. My name is Katelind… with a “D”
I couldn’t resist this opportunity to out myself as a blog stalker of yours. What a special positive/open/genuine space you’ve created in the midst of the vast intimidating web! Your photography inspires me to turn my hobby into a career someday. And I’ve had that photo of your friend blowing the dandelion stuck in my head for days, just like you would a song. Don’t remember how I found your blog, but I’m sure grateful I did π
Hi, Tonyha! My name is, well you can see that in the comment somewhere I am sure. I’d like to say right off the bat, that “I am a photographer”, but I still have a hard time accepting that title. Mostly because I am no where near the quality and caliber of so many photographers like yourself, that I “stalk” on the internet. I believe I found you on Clickin’ Moms? If not from the link to a link to a link somewhere along the lines not long ago. I shoot with a consumer level DSLR, the EOS Xti, but have aspirations of a more professional Nikon if I won the lottery. I really enjoy blogs like yours because they provide inspiration and for that I am eternally grateful. Do stop by when you have time, I know my images are mediocre, but I take pride in them simply because I learn something new with each shot. I improve with each adventure. Whether its post processing or at the camera. BTW, Nice to meet you! Great idea for a post.
Okay you already know me, but I was so inspired by the other commenters! I’m a sister, encourager, cheerleader, treasure finder, sucker for a deal, uber blog reader, barefoot goer, sytycd fanatic. π
Tonhya,
These images are nice, warm, and healthy! Just like Trader Joe’s Wheat, Oat Bread! Yum!
Hey now, you found me!! hehe. (Love these shots, too! You really captured her unique beauty so well.)
π
Your photos are so beautiful! =)
Hi thanks for introducing yourself! what a great idea for a post!
I came across your blog from Gray Photography!
I love your images and personality that shines through π
I am 25, love red shoes, pastors wife,mentor, disciple-maker,coffee-lover,addicted to Hawaii :), passionate for the people of Africa, and am blessed to use my job as a photographer to support these passions! Thanks for letting me introduce myself! Look forward to following your blog π
Hello, I always introduce myself as Alison, although I’m known to my family and childhood friends as Ali. I will smile as I shake your hand, but I really never listen when other people tell me their names (I feel really bad about this later). I am a cancer, believer, wanna be lovah, and a friend to all animals except small dogs wearing sweaters. I am notoriously late (and a bad speller), love old movies (Grant, Bogart, Hepburn), and I have a some what unhealthy obsession with the beach and cupcakes. Also, I secretly love the fact that I have a career that most people don’t understand at all π Mucho amor my picture taker friend!
hi tonhya. i’m amber. wife.mother.prego-lady.jesus follower. wanna-be photographer.ex-school counselor. stay at home mom. not sure how i stumbled across your blog…but thankful for the inspiration i find here!

Roxanne π

Hello Tohnya! I enjoy looking at art and I think that your pictures are truly a work of art! I also like to find little treasures at Goodwill and like zebra print a lot. π
Ooops sorry I spelled your name wrong! π
Hi Tonhya ! I really like looking at all the cool and pretty pic’s you take. π Everytime you post new pics I always look at them I really enjoy your talent.
Hello Tonhya =) Came across your blog and love your work. More or less heard what you have been doing from this nice little town of Grandview. Hoping to go into photography myself.
[…] so WAAAY back in April of 2010 I did a post titled, “HELLO / MY NAME IS TONHYA” and it was simply a post to get to know all of YOU who happen to read my blog from time to […]
