About the Photographer – Celeste Stoney

✨ Welcome to WonderWorld Photography — where every photo tells your story.

For more than two decades, I’ve lived and breathed creativity — first as a professional singer-songwriter, actress, and voice-over artist, and now through my lens as a photographer. My journey began long before I stepped on a stage or picked up a microphone — it began with my father, who taught me how to use a professional camera and see the world through light, emotion, and storytelling.

My entertainment career has taken me across stages and screens — from earning a Platinum Award for my work on Ja Rule’s “Murder Reigns,” to becoming a semifinalist on American Idol and a finalist on MTV’s Making the Band. I’ve written songs for artists, TV shows, and films, and spent years both in front of and behind the camera — experiences that shaped my ability to capture authenticity, confidence, and connection in every image.

Photography became a natural extension of that creative life. My husband, Ray Stoney, is a 20-year professional actor, and together we’ve raised four amazing children — all of whom work in the entertainment industry as well. With so many auditions, headshots, and milestone moments, photography grew from a necessity into a passion, and eventually, a calling.

That calling became WonderWorld Photography — a space where I blend artistry, storytelling, and heartfelt connection to create timeless images for families, performers, and professionals alike. From my immersive annual Santa pop-up event that brings pure joy to children and parents, to documenting families’ most meaningful chapters, I’m grateful every day to create work that celebrates love, laughter, and legacy.

Beyond the camera, I’m a Type-A entrepreneur and proud multitasker — homeschooling our four children, running our sister business PTC Cart Tours here in Peachtree City, supporting our family’s entertainment careers, and pouring into another passion of ours: real estate.

I proudly serve as the Marketing Director for our husband-and-wife real estate team at Keller Williams Realty | Keller Williams Atlanta Partners in Peachtree City. My husband Ray is the licensed Realtor®, and together we bring a creative, service-centered approach to helping families plant roots here. I oversee branding, marketing strategy, and client experience — ensuring every client feels informed, supported, and celebrated at every step. As a team, we love helping families find their perfect home, welcoming newcomers relocating to our beautiful community, supporting sellers in presenting and listing their homes for top dollar, and guiding investor friends in discovering their next great opportunity.

Whether it’s your child’s first sports portrait, a cherished family session, or a milestone worth remembering forever, it’s an honor to help you capture your family’s story — and preserve your most meaningful moments for years to come.
