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.

I've booked Travis for years now and can say with confidence that he is great at what he does! I've worked with Travis for pregnancy, newborn, and wedding photos: Pregnancy Photos - I was super nervous about this one. Big bare bump photos just aren't my style but I did really want to capture my pregnancy. Travis knew just what to do! He suggested we meet up downtown and took some great photos of my husband and I as we wandered from Tampa Theater past Sacred Heart and around to Curtis Hixon Park. We ended the shoot with sunset over University of Tampa which Travis timed perfectly. He was professional and fun to work with. He knew his stuff and arrived downtown before us to scout out the path. Our photos turned out great! So of course, we called him again when my son was born! Newborn Photos - Travis came to our house a few days after my son was born. He set up some lighting in the nursery and got to work while the baby hung out. After a while my son fell asleep but Travis didn't mind at all - it made it even easier to pose our little model. He captured all the little details I want to remember forever and even fit in a few family photos for us. These are images that I know we'll look back on for decades to come and it was important that they were done well. We couldn't have been more impressed with Travis and his work! Which is why I recommended Travis to my best friend to photograph her wedding... Wedding Photos - Travis was great to interact with throughout the day. He made sure to capture everything the bride requested and suggested a few extra things too. His photos turned out absolutely beautiful and he captured some gorgeous candid images of the couple.

He took great pictures, was professional and courteous, and his energy and smile kept everyone in a good mood. I have been a groomsmen about 8 times and Travis was the best photographer that I have worked with and he didn't have any arrogance or attitude that you sometimes see in the industry. He did whatever the bride wanted and even if a shot was hard, he made it work in some tight spaces. He also went out of his way to do some shots for a groomsman's father who supplied an antique car without breaking stride and with a big smile on his face. If the request was inconvenient or inappropriate, we would never have known, because Travis treated everyone with courtesy and respect and artfully complied without interfering with the bridal party pictures. I would recommend Travis to anyone looking for a great photographer.

A wonderful photographer!! We have had the opportunity to be photographed by Kimberly for maternity…read moreand newborn sessions. She is able to capture the special sweet moments that we will cherish for life. I love that she is patient with our kiddos. My 5 year old daughter is full of energy and easily distracted, but not once did she an appear annoyed or frustrated! She worked with her excited energy and it beautifully shows in our images. She tells us how to pose and gives detailed instructions on what to do so don't worry! She has the sweetest calm energy I feel so relaxed! I'm so thankful we found her and excited for future sessions together!

My friend, Grace, used her and highly recommended her. I reached out and within a couple days we scheduled a session for my son's one year photos. Unfortunately, he was sick the day of his photos so we were able to reschedule for the week after. I really like how she has a list of places that she would recommend and pictures she has taken at each location. That's how we ended up at USF Marshall Center which wasn't on my radar at all for pictures. She sends information about parking, etc. ahead of time so I felt very prepared for the day. Her pricing is extremely reasonable. Photos can be expensive, we've done photos for every major milestone so I've seen prices that are all over the place. Kimberly has an array of pricing options that fit many different price points. Our session was 20 minutes, which is perfect for young children. I really appreciate that she has the couple take photos alone as well. When you have children, it's easy to lose yourself as part of a family. I really treasure the photos of just myself and my husband. The gallery was ready for view within a couple days and after we picked our favorites her turnaround time was extremely speedy as well. I love the end results. We will be blowing them up and framing them. These pictures bring me so much happiness. Five stars all around.

Nina helped me tremendously in the planning, gave me a rain date incase out date didn't work out with weather, showed me a similar shoot she had just done which was an engagement on the beach so I got an idea what I was going to be getting, and she was super personable and friendly which made it so easy. Now for the day of, she did such an amazing job keeping in touch with me and with being early and set up on the beach. I brought my fiancé out and she had no idea Nina was shooting us from beginning to end. It was awesome! She captured every moment and once we got that out of the way Nina came up and introduced herself and had us do some poses that came out incredible in the photos! She was so friendly, outgoing and so easy to work with. My fiancé can be shy around new people in situations like this but Nina made us feel so comfortable she loved every second us being shot, Nina didn't make us feel camera shy at all. Was so nice to work with someone like Nina. She's a true professional and I can tell you from this experience you will not regret booking a shoot with her no matter the occasion!
