In August I was looking for a photographer around Lake Tahoe to do family pictures after Christmas…read more I received a few recommendations for Rachel on Facebook. She contacted me immediately after my inquiry. I told her what I wanted (I was born in Tahoe and lived there until I was 17). She recommended where and I knew right then she was meant to be my photographer because she named a place my grandpa was part owner in and I spent a lot of my childhood there. We had a great session and she made it fun! I just got our pictures back and could not be more pleased! They are fabulous!! If you are looking for a photographer who listens to what you want, is enjoyable to be around and takes great pics in the most beautiful place on earth - Rachel Lomeli is the right person! You won't be disappointed!!! Thank you Rachel!!

When I say choosing Jeramie for our photographer was one of the best things I could've done I…read more100000% mean it! Jeramie and his assistant were so amazing for our wedding from day one! The communication, the energy and just his vibe was everything we needed. He made our day even more special than it already was! I could not be more thankful and grateful for him helping us achieve and capture such amazing moments we will cherish forever! Thank you again Jeramie!

Jeramie was amazing from start to finish! We loved his personality from the moment we met him at a…read morewedding expo. We immediately knew that he was our guy. He is professional, incredibly friendly and down-to-earth. Most importantly, he really knew our venue, from how the sunlight would hit the mountain at different times of day to the best way to avoid the wind. On the day of the wedding, Jeramie really showed his creativity. He took some super-fun shots of both sides of the bridal party, from the guys playing poker to the gals on the ski lift. He kept our energy up all day and made the whole experience fun and happy. Jeramie seems to know all of the vendors in town, too. He coordinated with our florist and baker and even followed up with our baker after she left when we had a question. Unsurpassed venue knowledge, a keen eye for great shots, and a personality that kept us laughing even when we were tired - Jeramie has it all. We can't recommend him enough!

Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

First off I'd like to make it known just how excited I was about having the opportunity to do this…read morenewborn session for my newest daughter, as I missed out with my almost two year old because of COVID. Overall, the in-studio session was a dream! My mom and I were beyond impressed with Jennifer. She is obviously experienced in working with children of all ages, and that helped me feel very at ease, as I wasn't sure what all to expect. I had been told to plan for a 2-3 hour session as to not feel rushed, and we were done in less than 1.5 hours which isn't that big of a deal, but it did feel very rushed at the end and we didn't get pictures with one of my selected backgrounds which was a bummer. As we were getting ready to leave and scheduling the viewing session Jennifer told us that she'd be posting our session sneaks on Facebook in the next 4-5 days (which didn't happen). 6 days after our session was our in-person viewing session which I had to attend without my husband as it was a Monday morning. It was nice being able to go over all of the different options and packages in person, but it definitely created a high pressure "buy right this second" environment that I've never experienced with any other photographer before. Her prices also jumped quite a bit from what I had been quoted, though when I confronted her about this she did honor the quoted pricing. When I asked Jennifer if she could send over a watermarked online gallery so that my husband could see the photos and have input on which package we purchased, it felt like a switch flipped and I'd offended Jennifer. She responded "I just want to let you know that I don't hear back from 90% of the clients that ask me to send over online galleries. Do with that information what you will, but I will get that together and sent over but there will be a really noticeable copyright over the images so you might have to schedule a second viewing session that your husband can also attend". I felt this was extremely unprofessional and inappropriate for a number of reasons. 1. I was a brand new client and she lumped me into a negative category because of one very reasonable request. Out of all the professional sessions I have done in my life, I have never not received a watermarked online gallery to look at before selecting the package I'd like to purchase. I've also never been expected to know exactly which images I'd like within a 20 minute timeframe. 2. It's pretty terrible to insinuate that someone who paid the session fee with no issue would not want to purchase photos from said paid session. Sorry but I'm not one to hang watermarked canvas prints around my home. 3. The very harsh copyright over the gallery you sent was not necessary, and very much turned us away from purchasing prints or the photo books from you. Typically the watermarks in online viewing galleries look similar to the ones posted on Sugar Coated Images fb page, but with the watermark placed in less ideal places, which is understandable and makes sense. I asked Jennifer later that same day about the sneak peeks as we had family that had been refreshing her page for days at this point because they were very excited to see them, and she again confirmed that she would be posting them and that she just hadn't finished my images until very late the night before my viewing session which is why they hadn't already been posted. To this day the sneaks have not been posted, which again just feels very unprofessional as you should not tell someone twice that you are going to do something with zero follow through. I am still giving the overall experience three stars just because the actual photo session was so great, and I am very happy with the digital package I purchased. I will not recommend or book another session based off of the rest of my experience though, which is very unfortunate because she is a great photographer!
