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.

The photographers made even the crankiest toddler crack a genuine smile (yes, miracles happen), and somehow turned "hey, stand there by the surf" into "wow, this looks like art." Service was smooth: friendly people, zero pressure, and plenty of wardrobe‑change flexibility so I didn't have to reuse the same SPF‑scented shirt for all 40 shots. The turnaround was fast, and the final images were crisp, natural, and full of surf‑and‑sunshine energy -- more vacation postcard than posed portrait. If you want beach photos that actually make you want to hang them on your wall -- not hide them under the bed -- 3 Sons knows what's up.

Their prices were great and they were very friendly setting up the shoot. My photographer was Emily S. And she did an AMAZING job. You could just tell this was her passion and she enjoyed what she did. I hid the proposal behind the idea of a family photoshoot since my future mother in law didnt have any recent pictures with her daughters. Emily was very accommodating, seemed alittle shy but friendly! And lastly, professional. She knew what she was doing! She had great shot ideas and wasnt afraid to direct us to get the best picture. All and all 5/5 to 3 Sons and to Emily . Thank you for capturing a very important moment to me and the future Mrs.

Alison responded right away and was friendly and accommodating throughout the process, especially given that we booked our session while living out of state. She was always available for questions regarding wardrobe choices, etc and responded quickly via text or email. Alison was great with my 10 month old son and had some excellent ideas for posing/locations during our sunrise session. Our session felt very natural, relaxed and comfortable. I can't wait to see how our photos came out and would definitely recommend Alison to any family looking for professional beach photography. Thank you again Alison!

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!!!!!

K&K does that - every time. I have and continue to recommend them to everyone I know for wedding, engagement, maternity and other special occasion shoots. They're the best of the best!!

Let's start with the high quality of the work itself. We just got our pictures back, and they're spectacular! We were so fortunate to work with Cornelia throughout the entire process- both for our wedding and engagement photos. She has an eye for finding art in any picture, and the way she incorporates depth of field into many of her photos takes them to another level. The emotions of the night were captured so well in every photo, and there were lots of creative shots that we will always treasure. As an added bonus, we had the pleasure of working with Amy, another top-notch K&K photographer who came to help Cornelia as a second shooter for our night. Amy is as good as it gets as well, and put a lot of time and effort into making sure every shot was perfect and that all the key moments of the night were captured in a magical way. In addition to their top-quality work, K&K's photographers are also incredible people. Cornelia spent extra time with us on our engagement shoot to make sure we got all the special pictures we wanted, running around to get every shot perfectly framed, not worrying about the fact that it was more than 90 degrees outside. Cornelia and Amy were delightful throughout our wedding night shoot, and owner Jeff Kathrein was incredibly positive and easy to work with during the booking and post-shoot process. We could not be happier with the entire experience! If you want the best, you have to go with K&K. We're so glad we did! Thank you to Cornelia and the rest of the K&K family for everything you've done for us!

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.
