We loved working with Tamara because she was great working with two people who aren't fond of taking pictures and she had great ideas for the best poses that worked for us as a couple.

Tamara was a joy to work with. She was never overbearing as some photographers can be. She gave good direction and listened to everything I wanted and did not want. Tamara had a few shots ready for me right away and the full gallery up lighting fast! It was a total ease booking her, discussing my wedding, and actually shooting it. She was on time, friendly, and professional.

Tami was a real delightful woman to have shoot our wedding photographs. During the whole wedding she did her best to stay behind the scenes to capture priceless shots of that special day. During the whole time of working with her she was open to hear ideas for shots that we would like to see taken and she also share her ideas and suggestions as well. I loved the moments in time she was able to capture for us.

If you are looking for a talented, perfessional, and flexible photographer, I highly recommend Tamara Drake Photography. My sister and I did our sweet sixteen photos with her, and we had a great time! The photos came out stunning and I was very pleased with all of her other work as well! She deserves the 5 stars!

Tamara did a family photo shoot for me. She was amazing to work with! My children are young, 4 and 7, and she was fabulous with them! She made all of us so comfortable and worked with our personalities in a way that allowed her to capture some beautful and very natural expressions and interactions among us. I would highly recommend her work!

Tamara did an amazing job. The pictures turned out so beautiful. She goes above and beyond to make the bride happy and does whatever it takes to provide the best shots. She is flexible with her schedule and will work hard to give you what you want so your day is the best possible. She has a great eye to make the shots perfect and provide some unique and fun shots. Also, her prices are very reasonable and a great value. I would highly recommend her services for any type of event.
