Tonhya – I was captivated by each and every one of these images, and my heart seriously fluttered when seeing the images of your your sis and her new family. You’re simply amazing. If this is what 2012 brought you, I can’t wait to see what you do in 2013!

To say you knocked this out of this world is an understatement. Holy shit, girl you really are a talented lady with quite a vision. I just love how you see the world and how you play with light and shadow- your fashion stuff is seriously killer and I hope that you continue to do it because you have a gift for it. So much movement in your images- my god. I went through this so slowly and really looked at each frame and I can’t say there’s one I would take out. Favorite ones are definitely from Thailand though- and the lanterns! So beautiful! Oh and that shot of the pigeons on the wire and your friend on the Brooklyn Bridge are also two that really caught my eye. Incredible vision and delivery, TK! XOXOXO

Tonhya, what a beautiful journey you are able to take us on. What an amazing accomplishment. What a gift you have to give to others and to us all. Simply beautiful.

Seriously lady, simply amazing. Love all the personal shoots…that’s the heart of what you shoot. You are incredible…you’d barely hit the tip of your talent when we were at AIS…and I knew then you were on your way to the top. Congrats friend, cannot wait to see what’s next for you!

Brynn Kemper

WOW. Seriously just…wow. Your personal projects literally blow my mind and I can’t believe that I still get teared up when looking at the pictures you took of us 7 months later! Tonhya you are so gifted, I can not WAIT to see what 2013 brings for you!

Whitney

Absolutely outstanding, Tonhya. It’s hard not to linger on each image. And if that’s an Asian Whitney Houston drag queen I’m seeing – even better!

Wow! This is really spectacular!

Atalie Simpson
