The photographer is incredibly patient and professional, yet makes the session feel fun and natural -- no stiff poses, no "say cheese" nonsense. The photos themselves are amazing. Every shot captures genuine smiles and personality, whether it's a family session, a beach backdrop, or just everyday moments. You leave with images that look effortless but feel full of character. From start to finish, the experience is smooth and enjoyable. The staff make you feel comfortable, guide you through poses naturally, and ensure the end result is something you'll actually want to display. Highly recommend for anyone wanting professional photos without the awkwardness of a traditional studio.

I cannot emphasize enough the photographic skill and creativity of Richel Lavette. I recently…read morehosted a once-in-a-lifetime fraternity "Chartering" event that included both an early afternoon initiation, as well as a 190 person celebratory banquet including dinner, numerous guest speakers and awards to be presented. She handled both events professionally and with a great eye for framing, lighting and spontaneity. Richel Lavette is the consummate professional photographer. Her skill set includes image set up, proper lighting, images that tell a story, taking charge of large group photos with incredible tact, and looking for the small details that make a good image even better. Ms. Lavette can see what others do not. Her experience, and speed in finding the right images tell an unparalleled story. She requires initial input from the client, and once she understands the priorities, Richel can work independently with little to no supervision. But, beyond her obvious skills as a photographer, she has a strong work ethic and is always ready to capture a spontaneous moment that some photographers simply do not see. Her people skills are outstanding, and is always encouraging people to smile, and have fun while being photographed. Her greatest skills? The ability to listen, interpret, and deliver spectacular results. Lavette Photo Studios is an excellent photo studio, and I give Richel, and her studio my highest recommendations. She earned it.

Reagan is the best photographer that I have come across - look at the photos that I uploaded here…read moreto see some examples of her skills. Not only is she incredibly skilled at her work, but she is also very enthusiastic and upbeat. Her personality helped my husband and me instantly feel at ease in our elopement photoshoot, which is noticeable in the photos. I also appreciate that she welcomed our ideas for the photos and she was very open to exploring different poses. She also delivered a funny photo to us in the photo gallery that I really wanted, which I appreciate a lot. It shows that she listens and also has a good sense of humor too! Overall - Reagan ended up taking photos for an additional amount of time, delivering all of the photos early, and providing many more photos than the range that was originally stated in the contract. She did all of this without us asking and without extra charge! It's clear that Reagan has a true passion for photography and she's an extremely hard worker. I'm really so thankful that we found her and that she was available to do our elopement photoshoot. I highly recommend Reagan - you will have so much fun and will love her photos!!!

Even having to postpone our big day because of Covid, Gerardo remained the consummate professional. When the day finally came, he and Jessica were prompt, friendly, and got so many great shots. After the fact, we received our whole album exactly 3 weeks after. If you need someone who knows angles, lighting, all of that stuff that I have no eye for, and someone who will make you feel comfortable and calm on your big day, just hire Gerardo. You've got too many other things to worry about as a bride, he was literally one vendor I didn't have to stress over AT ALL. Also, all of your family and guests will love him just as much as you do.

Their way of treating people though made for a really struggle working with them. It's taken a while to write this review because I had such a bad experience. They lied to me multiple times.

Very disappointed with the experience I had with them as a whole not matter how their photos turned out.
