Tamieka is fabulous! Our photos turned out beautifully, and she found a great park for our shoot. She had shot there before, so she already knew the best places to have a nice background. Her personality is wonderful and definitely makes you feel comfortable. Our 9 month old loved her, and she was able to get some smiles out of her for the photos. Highly recommend her work. Tamieka provides an excellent experience with a preschool interview, the shoot itself, a photo reveal after the shoot where you choose the photos you want to order (she even came to our home so our baby would be happy), and final delivery of our order. The packaging of our print order was gorgeous. She put a lot of thought into the bag and various wrappings. Very professional

We had an excellent experience with Tamieka Smith Photography. Tamieka met with us ahead of the photo-shoot and made great suggestions on how we could stage a selection of poses and backgrounds for our portraits. She arrived on time at 6 AM and quickly set up for our sunrise photo session. Even as we added some new requests, we were pleasantly and easily guided through our photo-shoot.

Tamieka's talent with staging and lighting resulted in a selection of very pleasing portraits.

Tamieka was great to work with! Super friendly and easy going. We met at a coffee shop for our initial meeting. She was very flexible with scheduling and allowed us to pick a weekend several weeks out when we knew my husband would be available. She was able to get my kids to smile and was very sweet and understanding when they reached their limit. I would definitely recommend Tamieka if you want some family pictures.

Tamieka was very patient and flexible, as my dates often changed. She was very friendly and accommodating. I had a number of ideas for my session...because I know better than the professional right? Tamieka allowed me to take the lead, but still offered some tips and suggestions. I ended up loving the photos she guided me on, more than my own ideas. The photos were simply amazing. I would definitely use Tamieka Smith Photography again! Thanks Tamieka!

Tamieka is awesome! She walked us through the process from beginning to end and was very upfront with what to expect for our session. She was extremely professional but is also so likeable that she just felt like part of the family on our special day. If you want awesome photos for a special occasion in your life, just hire Tamieka...you will not regret it!

Mrs. Smith was very professional and detailed in our family photo shoot(she traveled to us - Alabama) She captured BEAUTIFUL angles of us all, that can be admired for years to come. The entire experience was great, our photos arrived in a timely manner and well packaged. Our family is growing, in the future we'll definitely schedule another photo shoot w/ Tamieka Smith Photography.

I cannot begin to tell you how impressed we were with Tamieka. She captured our promotion ceremony at the National Archives and produced hundreds of images that will be family treasures for years to come. She also offers an amazing customized leather bound album which is simply amazing! Tamieka is a true professional. Highly recommend!!!!

Tamieka does excellent work, is responsive, and professional at all times. She also pays very close attention to detail, even scouting out outside venues ahead of the shoot day to discern the time of day for the perfect lighting.

I highly recommend her services!

Tamieka did a photo shoot for our two young children. The pictures turned out beautifully! She even got some big smiles out of our usually serious 11 month old. Tamieka was professional and very pleasant to work with. Great experience from start to finish.

I hired Tamieka Smith Photography to capture the moments of my husband’s promotion ceremony and reception. It was a wonderful decision and worth every dime we spent. Tamieka was professional and personable. I wanted photojournalistic photos, and Tamieka produced. She blended well with the crowd to capture the types of photos I wanted. I highly recommend her service.
