Blessings!
I'm Tamika LaJoyce...
your photographer!
Mother to my incredible children, fierce advocate to help women be seen, proud Army Veteran & so much more. I see you in ways that many may feel unseen. I love to encourage and love on my clients, strangers and more. I pour back into my community to bless others as I’ve been blessed. Living in purpose is always the goal!
ONCE UPON A TIME
My love for photography was born when my son was born... I wanted to learn how to take better pictures of each of my 3 children & our lives changed forever.
I didn't know it then, but God had plans for our family like a California earthquake. The journey of returning to the civilian life was no small endeavor. Right after having my son, I battled health woes, weight challenges and started to find myself again within God and my dance fitness community. I began photographing the things I loved... my family and my fitness events! I was able to quit my full time job, created a supportive community and be the Mom my children needed me to be.
14 years and counting... we've been on this incredible roller coaster ride and I wouldn't have it any other way!
SUPER FUN
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
FACTS
