Meet Your Mt. Juliet Family Photographer – Toni Viola

Mt Juliet Photographer Toni Viola

Hey there! I’m Toni—a wife, mama, and family photographer based in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. I’ve always been a quiet observer, which makes me naturally drawn to the little in-between moments—the giggles, the cuddles, and the tiny details you never want to forget.

With a camera in hand, I get to freeze those fleeting, beautiful moments—whether it’s your toddler’s wild curls blowing in the wind or your newborn’s sleepy little stretch. My true-to-life, vibrant photography style ensures you’ll always remember your family just as they are right now.

Why You’ll Love Working With Me:

  • Relaxed, stress-free sessions: I bring a calming presence that helps even the most camera-shy clients feel at ease.

  • Attention to detail: From clear communication to thoughtful touches (like client gifts), I’m dedicated to creating an exceptional experience.

  • Timeless, authentic images: Photos that will fill your home—and your heart—for years to come.

Some fun facts about me

  • I have a yellow lab named Brewer

    he’s named after the Milwuakee Brewers because my husband is from Wisconsin annnnnd he’s basically my whole world

  • My amazing husband's name is Cody

    we got married at the end of 2019 right before the pandemic - so we never got to take our “official” honeymoon. But we love hiking, camping, & being outdoors. I consider myself the luckiest wife out there to have found someone as unconditionally supportive as Cody is!

  • I really enjoy cooking, but...

    I never ever follow a recipe. I’ll usually look at it once for “ideas” and then just wind up doing my own thing and adding in whatever I find in the fridge. But we do make a ton of Italian and Mexican food in our house!

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies are LIFE

    no seriously, they’re my favorite food of all time. But they have to be warm and fresh. Yep, they’re that good! Also, a really good sesame seed bagel is a close runner up for me.

  • I have tea every morning

    I grew up with a half Irish (and the other half, Italian!) family - so the phrase “do you want a cup of tea?” is asked multiple times a day when spending time with them.

  • I love traveling

    I haven’t been out of the country lately, but Costa Rica is my absolute favorite (I’ve been twice - by myself!). Cody & I always pick somewhere outdoorsy to go for our anniversary and this year we went to the mountains in North Carolina!

  • I have lots of hobbies

    I’m a pretty crafty person, so I’m always finding new hobbies like wood burning, painting, making videos, calligraphy, and even arts & crafts with my new little nephew.

  • My Enneagram is 6

    As a photographer, this makes me great at preparing for sessions and checking my gear to avoid any issues. clients see me as truthful and known to follow through on agreed projects. and perseverance is a characteristic that makes me stand out, where i’ll continue to push my abilities and continuously learn - making memorable galleries for you!

“We’re expecting our third child, and Toni did such a beautiful job freezing in time the life we have now with our two wild and wonderful little boys. She was patient and a great communicator, and we are so grateful for the photos of our family of four.”
