Hi, I’m Tamieka Smith, a professional Los Angeles family photographer helping families create tangible memories of their family's legacy. I have always been fascinated by the speed at which life moves. There are many moments that fly by us, often forgotten. It’s the photographs that help us remember.

These are the instances I like to capture and preserve.

Whether your family has come together for a reunion or the holidays after years or are emptying your nest as your youngest leaves for college, you’ll have the photos to always be reminded of the love. You’ll get to relive the moments that bring you joy.

As a Washington DC event photographer, I love photographing military events hosted at the National Archive Museum and throughout military installations in the DMV area.

My love for the visual arts doesn’t cease at photography. I also help family pictures come to life as a print artist. Designing luxurious hand-crafted heirloom albums and wall art (canvas and framed portrait) is a passion I pursue as it allows people to cherish their memories for years to come. ​

I would love to help!

LOS ANGELES FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Families are so special and complex and worth being documenting through photographs.  Being a family photographer in Los Angeles, I have seen how family pictures impact people. That’s why I take great pride in my work. I have been fortunate enough to be an award-winning and published children and family photographer.

Before I actually pick up the camera, I will spend time customizing your session by getting to know you and your family. Once I know your story, your photographs turn out more personal and are able to be enjoyed.
​
I photograph children, seniors, maternity, and family portrait sessions throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, California. Outside of the Golden State, I will gladly photograph families in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. (DMV Area).  Visit the family photography portfolio.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES PHOTOGRAPHER

The National Archives Museum is a tough venue to book for military promotion or retirement ceremonies. Photographing inside is even harder as the lighting is quite low. Being a professional National Archives photographer, I can take on the challenge and capture your promotion or retirement ceremony and conquer it with memorable photographs.

​As an Air Force Veteran and military spouse, I understand the significance of a ceremony and the customs & courtesies of a military event. I’ll make sure to capture the moments that matter the most, transforming them into tangible memories to be enjoyed for generations.

You will not only have amazing pictures to remember the day but also a hand-craft album and wall portraits for your family to cherish and enjoy for years to come. To learn more about National Archives Promotion/Retirement Photography, visit here or call me directly.
