The results speak for themselves. After sending over my new head shots to the agency, I was booked within days based solely on her terrific photos for a major skin care company. HSN (Home Shopping Network) loves your talent also, Tamara!

Hands down, from beginning to end, this was the BEST service experience I have ever had. She made me feel like a princess supermodel! LOL. The photos turned out fabulously; Tamara is a true artist! She even worked within my budget to personalize a payment plan for me so I could purchase an entire collection. She is an extraordinary human as well as a stellar photographer. I will tell all of my friends about her! If you want the best of the best, pick up the phone and call Tamara!

My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We took our boys on a cruise then stopped back in Florida for a few days. I reached out to Tamara months ahead of time knowing I wanted special memories of our time together. Our boys are older and I know our time with them is growing short. Simplifying the emotion terribly, let me just say, that I will never be able to thank her enough for the beautiful images we now have. She captured the character of our boys, the love my husband and I share and the spirit of our family absolutely perfectly. I can't even begin to express what that means to me. I am beyond thrilled to have tangible, visual memories forever of how amazing (I think!) our family is. I can't look at them without becoming teary. (The day the images were delivered, I even caught my husband looking through them teary, too!!) Tamara possesses a unique and wonderful gift. I pray she knows how precious she is and will always be to us! From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You, Tamara!!

Tamara's creativity, professionalism, fun personality, and kindest heart are just a few characteristics that made my experience with her unforgettable! Both my mother and I felt like queens in her lovely studio! She thought about every little detail to make us feel at ease and truly enjoy our experience. From the moment she emailed me about the session, to the personal home consultation, to the 3-hour shoot, to the "reveal" session, she was nothing but a class act. I respect you so much, Tamara, have been a fan for years and now a proud owner of your work. It's an investment for my family and for generations to come. THANK YOU.

I can't believe how beautiful I felt during my beauty and headshots session with Tamara! She is always so genuine, so supportive, and so wonderful to be around! I knew I was in good hands at every step of the process. I've done three sessions with Tamara. She is my favorite photographer bar none!

It’s been years since my last head shots...so long I had to have grey "hi-lights" photo shopped into my old photos. With a new job...it was really time. Tamara had been recommended by several friends and I've seen her work. She was wonderful to work with! Put me at ease...Hair/Makeup/selecting outfits and jewelry...all top notch personal service. Won't go anywhere else!!!

I was looking for a professional Photographer for my head shots.If your like me, I don't photograph well, and the only thing worse than the photo was taking the photo, until I met Tamara. She calmed me down, eased me into the shoot, was humorous, engaging, patient and professional. That is not the best part, she is a gifted photographer, using her intuition, color, contrast, light and magic to deliver the best photos I have ever taken. I really didn't think it was possible. I'll be back to her for my next round of business shots. If you want the best, look no further!

It had been 10 years since our last family photos so I searched diligently for the "right" photographer. Once I stumbled upon the website for Tamara Knight Photography, I looked no further. What an awesome experience this has been! Tamara was so accommodating since we do not live in Florida and were only there for a short time. She listened to my vision, gave expert recommendations on location, clothing, etc. based upon my desired outcome for our photos, and the final product is nothing short of amazing! Tamara captured the essence of family and my album is now easily one of my most treasured possessions.

I absolutely loved our photo session with Tamara. She is such a professional and really knows how to bring the best out of all of her clients. I was so pleased with all of our family portraits and will cherish them for a long time. She especially makes us women feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her hair and make-up artists do such an amazing job preparing you for the session. Loved all of it!

Tamara Knight not only blessed our non profit organization, Crossroads Corral by doing a headshot fundraiser for us, I absolutely loved the photos of my mother and I that Tamara captured! She made us feel extremely comfortable, we felt beautiful and the pictures were incredible. Tamara and her team are extremely friendly, easy to work with and beautiful women inside and out!

I'm not someone who enjoys being photographed. I never feel photogenic. And since I'm over 50 I'm always concerned about how my not 20 year old face with character will look in photos. But I have to say I am over the moon with the results of my photoshoot with Tamara. I have a consulting business and do a lot of speaking engagements, so I was in need of professional headshots that fit with my business's brand. I explained to Tamara what I was looking for in the headshots and she 100% captured exactly what I was going for, professional yet friendly and warm. The hair and makeup were spot on for the look I was going for. And the entire process throughout the day of the shoot was made easy and comfortable by her expertise. The shots are totally me! I can't wait to add them to my social media, website, and all of my marketing materials. If you're looking for headshots that are not the same old boring photos and that really convey your true inner personality I highly recommend Tamara Knight Photography!

Our family had the best experience with Tamara. We first met when I booked a session for my business head shot. In the past I've never enjoyed getting photos done which is probably why I've been using the same old blah picture for the last 10 years. I was so happy with the results and overall experience that I asked if she could please come out to photo our whole family! And those pics turned out wonderful as well. It happened to be on a stormy day and an outdoor setting but we just made the best of it and you can't even tell. She worked a miracle with the lighting etc. Tamara has a professional but relaxed and personable way about her that just makes people feel at ease when being photographed. 5 star all the way.

I am a huge fan of Tamara Knight's work, as well as a very satisfied customer. I have used her twice to do my business head shots, with superb results each time. What she was able to accomplish with my business head shots is a feat only possible by a true talent: the ability to capture an image for business use without sacrificing the unique human qualities and personality of the subject. Thank you, Tamara!
Natalia Rowe

I have had four photo sessions with Tamara and I cannot say anything but compliments. Tamara is a great photographer and is unbelievably talented. One can definitely say she has a true passion for photography. She manages to capture beautiful moments, which not only captivate a viewer with their exclusivity and creativity, but also show the spirit, beauty of the location and the whole picture behind the scene. Her professionalism and artistic eye let her create great memories for people. She is patient with clients, suggests ideas and does not hesitate to go above and beyond to achieve the results that satisfy both, her and the client. I would highly recommend her as a photographer for any occasion!
Jef Gray

Tamara has the uncanny ability to capture life between the frames where most photographers aren't looking. Her images are fresh, bold and inspiring. One look at her photos and you feel you've just seen a greeting card before the text is applied - they are that compelling! This was exactly the kind of imagination I needed for the cover of Florida Russian Lifestyle Magazine and I'm glad to say Tamara's photos have been featured almost exclusively on our cover for the last 4 years.

I had several sessions with Tamara from Tamara Knight Photography. Tamara is an extremely talented photographer! Not only she captures the moment, but reveals the whole story behind the pictures. Her shots are very unique and breathtaking. She has created timeless photos for our family for many years ahead to enjoy! If you have never had a session with Tamara Knight Photography, at least try once. You will LOVE it!

I recently had my engagement photos taken with Tamara Knight and I could not be happier with how they turned out! My fiance and I not only love the results of the photos that we received but we also enjoyed the experience we had working with Tamara. Tamara made our engagement photo session such a pleasant, fun experience that we will never forget. She will work with you to make sure you get the results you were looking for! I am so happy that we chose Tamara to capture this exciting time in our lives. I recommend Tamara Knight Photography to everyone and I know we will be back to see her again!

Tamara is the most talented photographer my family has ever used. Her photos are magical and she has an eye like no on else we've met. Her work isn't inexpensive but I can honestly say it's worth every dollar you spend-- her professionalism is a breath of fresh air in an industry that sometimes isn't as professional as one would like.

There are few things in life that are worth capturing - your special moments with family, your new baby - and all of them will stay forever in your memory reflected through the lens of incredibly talented Tamara. She has the ability to bring the true beauty in the most casual of things and to make a fairytale come true in her photo stories. My experience working with Tamara was an unbelievably creative one - she will allow for your own imagination to run free yet will assist with the professional advice that will assure the absolute best looking photos. Thank you TAMARA KNIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY for the beautiful art you are creating every single day!

Tamara Knight has become the only photographer for me, my business, and my family! Working in the beauty industry I have seen my share of photographers and was so refreshed to meet Tamara. Our first shoot was held at my day spa for new head shots and pics of the space. I was so impressed that a couple of weeks later I booked a family session with her. Considering both sessions, my favorite quality of Tamara is her attention to detail. During the sessions she was full of creative ideas from where to place my hands, to finding the perfect back ground for the moment. After viewing my prints, I realized she had done so much more by the way she was able to capture our emotion on film. If you're looking for the best for your next session, please give Tamara a call. You will see for yourself how much passion she puts into every picture she creates.

Just an incredible experience having our picture taken. Tamara makes you feel very relax and comfortable, easy "before" and "after the shoot" process. I would highly recommend Tamara Knight's services to anyone I know, and I am sure she will deliver to the highest expectations. Love the results too! These images will be with me for the rest of my life, it's awesome!

Tamara has become our family photographer because frankly, her work is so good that I am now ruined for anyone else to do it. We have been going to her since 2009 as a newly married couple before we had children. We now have a daughter, 1 year old, and a son who is 2. I am beyond happy that we have had her available to us to capture our family in it's different stages and plan to continue to go to her as we grow. She is professional, easy to be with, great with adults and kids, and I have never had a bad picture with her. I have actually asked her to please stop taking pictures because I knew I wouldn't be able to select from so many good shots! I realize this review may sound too good to be true, but that's just my actual experience with her. The hardest part of going to Tamara is narrowing down which photos you are going to get from your session. On another note, she captures her subjects at their very best but still somehow is able to get the essence of who they are - I love that every person I see in her work is beautiful, but still recognizable - She captures the image on film so that the subject stays true to who they are. Tamara is a creative soul and an artist behind the camera. She works until she gets it right, before the session to help you plan, during the session and then afterwards to make your results 'perfect'. I have never been disappointed with the results or the investment I've made in going to her. Here I am, five years later, and I can honestly say she is worth every penny.

Working with Tamara Knight was such a great experience. From the start with her hair and makeup artist, to the dress up and photo shoot, it was such a fun experience! Then actually seeing the completed work absolutely blew my mind. I did this shoot as a gift to myself for my 30th birthday and I am so pleased to have these beautiful photo's to showcase my beauty on canvas forever! Thank You Tamara, I am extremely pleased! xoxo Stephanie

I couldn’t recommend a more perfect photographer! Tamara has photographed my family since 2008 and since then I had never even imagined my family sessions with another photographer. Tamara’s work is amazing -she really knows how to work with families and small children to get an amazingly breathtaking pictures. She is very creative and talented -she captured so many precious moments we didn’t even realize at the time of the sessions and gave us some beautiful memories. My maternity session with her was just beyond perfect - she made me feel so beautiful! At our last photography session- Tamara photographed my son when he was just one week old. There are not adequate words to express how much these pictures mean to me. Those first days of my son’s life and being able to experience our emotions again and again are priceless!!! I highly recommend Tamara and can’t wait for our next photography session with her.

6 Tips for Finding the Best Photographer in Orlando
Do you know what to look for in a real professional photographer's portfolio? Finding photographers in Orlando isn’t a hard task, there are so many! But finding amazing photographers in Orlando that will deliver what they promised might be a more difficult mission.
Your Orlando Photographer has some tips to get you started on the road to finding your perfect match.
Photographers in Orlando have to be very skilled with light usage. Look for photos that show that they can use both natural light and a flash. Because photographers in Orlando experience such intense extremes- from full blaring sun, to gray overcast skies, it's important to have the skills for both.
Look for odd shadows all over the image and on the faces especially. Good photographers in Orlando know how to pose subjects to the light of the sun outside.
Look for "flash effect" in images. You'll see this in mostly sunset shots. Do you see a ring of light around the subject and the background dark? This means they hit the subject with too much flash. They don't know how to use a flash.
Photographers in Orlando can be quite creative and trendy. However there can be too much of a good thing. Make sure that your photographer’s style is also timeless!
An example of one of these trends is the sun flare. It was a mood tool for fashion photographers in magazine shoots. It's when the photographer aims the camera towards the sun and you see very bright areas in most of the image. For portrait sessions and for heirloom prints, we do want to see your beautiful face. Not just a blurred reflection or distortion of it. Learn more about what is photography.
Flat light is not flattering! Is there shadow AND highlight on the subject's face? It's more flattering to the subject to have both. It creates dimension in the photograph. It takes skill for photographers in Orlando to accomplish it.
The geometry of poses is important! Are the subjects turned to a 45 degree angle to the camera? Straight to the camera makes subjects their biggest. A good photographer will turn people to an angle but not sideways. Most photographers in Orlando have this down to a science, but make sure!
Orlando Photographers who specialize in family photography are lucky because Orlando is a great family town. Families are constantly moving here. It is a great place to raise kids! What does this mean for Orlando photographers? We have lots of fun loving and unique families in our area that want historical proof that Mom and Dad were fun and the kids were cute!
References matter! These days, most photographers in Orlando have a Facebook and Google presence so it’s easier than ever to check reviews. Make sure to order them by recent date. Things happen in life and in business, and if there was a problem, the proprietor may have corrected it. And vice versa- an old review might not reflect recent slips in the customer service department!
