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.

BEWARE: DO YOUR RESEARCH! Hour session $375.00…read moreDOES NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING but taking photos. It is $2100.00 MORE for her to give you the disk with your family images so you can make prints or $225.00 for EACH high resolution image. READ ALL THE FINE PRINT: Maria OWNS the photos they are NEVER yours you have to buy them from her!! At outrageous prices!!! Here is Our experience: Maria Scott Photography uses Bay Photo online and has a 300% mark up we wanted a photo on metal Maria charges $980.00 for this one split photo!!!! Bay photo price online is $220.00 ( FYI: you do not need to be a photographer to order from Bay Photo) That is a $760.00 PROFIT on just one! Because I called her out she lowered price to $406.04 but then proceeded to raise the price on the others. She quoted 75.00 each but when invoiced I was charged 84.00 Each. Again you can buy these yourself online at Bay Photo for 22.00 each. But Maria will not release your pictures to you! It's insane! I have found out since then that there are many amazing photographers in Clearwater Florida who do photos at Honeymoon Island and their price of $375.00-450.00 INCLUDES ALL YOUR HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES!!!!! This was a VERY Disappointing experience Not only the 300% mark up Maria Scott Photography charges to print only 4 photos. The fact that she holds your family memories hostage so you have no other choice then to pay these astronomical prices!!!!!

"What a wonderful experience! Our family photo shoot with Mike was more than we had hoped for…read more Mike was very helpful preparing for the beach session, suggesting colors, props, and even websites to help us make plans for the session. He was very gracious with his time and expertise and we felt very well-prepared. The day of the shoot was absolutely gorgeous and Mike took full advantage of the weather, the scenery, and time of day. There was little downtime - important for a family of five that includes a four-year-old - and we moved smoothly to different locations, changing angles, and maximizing the time we spent. Mike's wife Michelle couldn't have been more helpful in getting everyone ready, assisting with posing, and keeping everyone happy and smiling. It was professional, friendly, and enjoyable for all of us. The finished product was sent by email in only a few days and we were honestly blown away with the quality and variety of the photos. The entire family was happy with how we looked, the backgrounds and lighting chosen, the integration of props, the clothing - just all of it! Our family Christmas card was only hard in deciding on which poses to include and we are so proud of the enlargements we decided on for display in our home. In all, a first-rate, impossible to beat performance for a most discerning family. Thank you Mike and Michelle for memories that will last a lifetime."

I was immediately impressed with the quality of his work and use of natural light. In his work, I could see how he captured the emotion of the couple in his pictures. I chose him to capture the precious moments of our day and he did not disappoint! The quality of his images and way that he is open to all shot suggestions was fantastic. Plus, he had a very quick turn around time in sending us our images, via Dropbox. For someone that enjoys creating her own gifts, canvases and photobooks...digital downloads was the way to go. Thank you Pedro! We would use you over and over and over again if we lived in Florida!

I found PL Carrillo Photography through Gulf Beach Weddings, who we did our destination wedding beach ceremony through. Since it was a package, we were to choose a photographer from their list. After looking up all of the different photographer's websites, we decided PL Carrillo's was the style that fit us best. We were ecstatic to learn that he was available! And it truly was a blessing as he was the most professional and organized person. I sent him a list of different pictures I wanted on the big day(because they say you will forget in the moment), and he brought the list with him and was sure to get almost all of them! He absolutely hustled and worked so hard on a very hot, humid day! From making sure to get the most perfect pictures on the beach, to laying down in the middle of the street to get a cool picture of us in downtown Siesta Key, to all of the pictures of our decor and venue for the reception.. I was beyond impressed. He has a great passion for photography and it truly shows with his incredible work. The pictures came out absolutely gorgeous! He got them all back to us in only 23 days, and he even got two to us just 3 days after our wedding because he knew we were having a reception back home in Ohio & wanted to put two on display. I cannot express my gratitude enough! Pedro's hard work and dedication is the reason my husband and I will have the memories of our wedding day captured in beautiful pictures for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for a reliable, talented photographer, you can't go wrong with Pedro!
