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 am so incredibly thankful that my husband and I found Limelight Photography! If there was one…read morething I was absolutely certain of, it was that I didn't want us to skimp on our wedding photography, because you are paying for your memories that you'll look back on the rest of your life. Once we reserved the Florida Aquarium as our venue, our attention immediately turned to finding the right photographers. We started with the aquarium's preferred vendor list, because the lighting in there is so challenging. The ceremony is in front of a giant coral reef tank, and I didn't want to see a camera flash bouncing back in every photo (once you see it, I feel like that's ALL you can see!). So when I looked at all of the weddings Limelight had done in the aquarium, none of their photos had that problem. I found myself immediately drawn to Limelight's gorgeous photos. Every picture I saw was stunning and vibrant, and made every couple of theirs look like they belonged in a magazine. I just knew I had to have them for our wedding as well. Rebecca and Michael Zoumberos were our photographers, and they were wonderful! We were originally booked with a different lead photographer, but when it turned out that she was getting married around the same time as our wedding, Limelight upgraded us at no charge to having Rebecca and Michael be our photographers instead! I loved how detailed oriented and thorough they are. We spoke over the phone with Rebecca several times to go over our timeline and shot lists, and we had to fill out a lengthy questionnaire as well. It took time, but it was absolutely worth it in the long run because they made sure we got every single photo we wanted. Rebecca is an absolute pro at creating a wedding day timeline! The turnaround time to get our photos was three weeks, just as they had said it would be. They turned out just stunning, and I'm so glad we'll have these beautiful photos to treasure for the rest of our lives.

She was on time and prepared. Annie said several times that she was willing to take any individual and group shots we wanted. She would also pause to fix hair (important on a windy beach!), adjust clothing and make suggestions for poses. Our granddaughter is 1 year old and she was patient and broke up the shots she was in, so she didn't get cranky. We got our pictures back this week and they are stunning! I would 100% recommend Annie and Black Pineapple Photography.

Due to the fact that I have mobility issues, four of my family members took time from work and traveled thousands of miles so we could capture five generation photos. I hired Black Pineapple Photography to capture the photos. We were to receive our digital photos approximately two to three weeks after the shoot. What I received two weeks later was an email from Liz, proprietor of Black Pineapple Photography. The email stated that my money had been refunded and the photos from our family shoot were permanently lost. WHAT? LOST? An email, not even the courtesy of a phone call or any explanation as to what had occurred. You can imagine the disappointment my family members and I experienced. Two days after the receipt of the email and after my granddaughter called Liz and complained I received a phone call with an explanation. Apparently the photographer, who took the pictures, did not change the SIM card following our shoot and shot another event over our session. Beware, as that photographer still is used by this company. There is no way to recover the photos. This error, the lost employment time, air fare, lodging and car rental expenses were great. Needless to say we cannot capture this time again or recoupe the expenses. "Beware of Black Pineapple Photography".
