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!!

We found Daniel from Yelp. We were going to Lake Tahoe for our summer vacation & my daughter…read moredecided she wanted to do her senior pics in Lake Tahoe. This was definitely the right decision for us!! Daniel knows the area very well & knew exactly where to meet for her pictures. He arrived on time, the meadow was an amazing choice! He captured the light beautifully setting behind the trees but keeping my daughter the spotlight. He was great with hand placement & we were very comfortable with him. And the pictures turned out FANTASTIC! He delivered the sneak peak just as he said he would, followed up with the edited pictures for us in a timely manner. If he were closer to us (we are in Illinois), we would use him for all of our pictures.

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!

Jen's personality and calm demeanor made him feel so comfortable and she captured some lovely photos because of how relaxed we both were.

She even put up with our crazy pups which is a lot to ask of someone. Her prices are reasonable and she gets you previews within days of the shoot which is awesome!

Her artistic capability to capture a photo is one that can not be learned but only acquired by experience and a passion for producing fabulous pictures for people to cherish for a lifetime. Talia is taking my wedding pictures as well and I can not wait for another great experience with her! I definitely recommend her work and will use her for all photography needs in the future, thanks Talia! *****UPDATE**** Since my last review I have got married and had a baby and Talia took every single one of those pictures... my wedding, maternity, and newborns.
