NAOMI TAJO
AN ARTIST, AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS
Hey, I’m Naomi Tajonera-Huffman!
I’m a photographer and artist based in Detroit. I’m mostly known for my work in portrait photography and as your favorite framer at the Sherwood Forest Art Gallery. In my 10+ year career, I’ve made it a point to make sure the people on the other side of my lens feel special in a safe space. I’ve incorporated that same approach with everyone, whether it’s a 36-hour newborn or a 90-something first time author.
I began freelancing during my sophomore year of college, starting out with family portraits and headshots for amateur models. This later expanded into newborn photography, engagements, weddings, fashion and even some graphic design. I have since ventured into printmaking, branding content and collaborating with other creatives on their projects.
I am currently a resident artist at the Marygrove Conservancy in Detroit, and the project manager at Sherwood Forest Art Gallery.
