about the tayem photo co.

The origin of The Tayem Photo Co is rooted in the world of photography. The earliest years of our business was spent sewing into our own community - styled photoshoots, education, companionship, mentorship, and so much more. We loved it.

Our styled shoots brought us quickly into collaboration with business owners of all kinds, and soon we were doing photography work for locals of all kinds, and sharing with them our knowledge of how something as simple as upscale professional photography could completely transform their business in a world that exists so heavily online. 

Since 2021 we have found deep passion and purpose creating and serving other businesses in the South Central Pennsylvania area, and right here in our own community. 

Chambersburg, we are ready for you. Are you ready for us?

Hello! I'm Emily, co-owner of The Tayem Photo Co. I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2018 with my bachelor's in Communication Journalism + Electronic Media - only taking one photography class and the rest I learned from online educators!

After graduation I worked in social media management and worked as a store manager in retail but was missing that full-on human connection that was lacking in the corporate world.
