"Hit that pose, take that flick Check your angle, post that…read mores**t." - Lekeli47, "Post That" (2018). Now if you know me, you know I LIVES for a good photoshoot, so when my comedy group Lemon Pepper & Sazón (@lpscomedy757) needed a photographer, and Prince Hakeem reached out to shoot us at his Gallery in Pheobus, I was 110% about it. He was very professional, accommodating, and had a quick turn around of having the edits sent back to us. During our 2 hour session, my group was able to get over 400 photos snapped, with 3 individual and 4 group professional edits, that looked quite good if I do say so myself. PS: Just so you know the Gallery on Mellen isn't just for photoshoots, it can also be rented out for private functions as well.

Not only is she amazing at getting THE shot, she will also make you feel so comfortable and she's fantastic at giving direction! I always feel super awkward with a camera on me, but Jessie is so personable and she makes me forget we're doing a shoot half the time. Book with her, you will not regret it!!!

Jessie is an absolutely amazing photographer! We love how our wedding photos turned out. She did an…read moreamazing job of capturing the event, the people, and all the details that went into our wedding. We have more than enough photos to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Jessie also did a complimentary engagement shoot for us when we hired her. Those pictures also turned out great! Jessie is easy to work with. She made the somewhat awkward process of taking engagement photos simple, made us feel comfortable, and the process a lot of fun! Jessie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares about capturing great photos for her couples. We can't recommend Jessie enough!

I got an album done as my "paper" 1 year anniversary gift. Amy was a consummate professional and…read moreher studio was beautiful and very professional. Hair and makeup is included in the price of a photo package as well as editing for your top pick photos. I got mine put in a black leather bound album and it was gorgeous. I can't really post any pics due to the scandalous nature of the content but the photos came out absolutely beautifully and we're very tasteful and classy which is what I wanted. My husband was VERY pleased. I would definitely recommend checking out Amy's website to see her pictures. I felt 100% comfortable with Amy and it was overall a very fun experience.

I had the pleasure of working with Amy in September, 2013 and I look forward to working with her again. She made me feel comfortable, and her compassion for the art of natural beauty really shines in her work. I was blown away by the photos she took, and so was my husband :) Thank you again, Amy! This is something I will always look back on and remember.

I recently purchased a groupon deal for this photography studio thinking that it was just that...a…read moredeal... I have yet to even have the services completed and I've found that I've already spent $300+ ...not to mention the actual photo purchase packages seem ridiculously priced Although Leila seems friendly and her work showcased online seems to be legit, I've been kind of disappointed with the delayed communication in regards to booking a session time and answering my questions, however, I am still excited to go through with the shoot and I hope that it's all worth it. (will update review after upcoming shoot----------------------------------------------------------) Semi-Update: ...As the frustrations continue, it looks as though I will not be continuing with this photo shoot making my groupon and mua service purchases a complete loss... Although this photographer didn't work out for me, mainly due to the $250-$2,000.00 print prices, if you're looking to spend that much money....she may work for you.

I wanted to write an update and mention that when I got home from a trip overseas my photobook was…read moredelivered the next day (as arranged with Leila through email) on the 6th of September. I ordered some 5x7 and 8x10 prints as well and they were also delivered with the photo book. My photobook is absolutely beautiful. The pearlized finish on the photographs is to die for and the leather cover of my book is fantastic - I even like the smell. I got a brown antique leather cover on the book (after much agonizing over which cover to get) and Leila was great - she sent me electronic images of what my covers would look like and answered the 300 million questions I bombarded her with regarding the shape of the edges of the pages, the background of the pages, etc. etc. (I am a stickler for the details). Though I have spent LOADS of money on this entire experience I feel that sometimes a gal has to do something that is only for herself (I did NOT do this for my husband or anyone but myself nothing wrong with those of you who do) and I am pleased with it. Every now and then when I'm having a bad day I go look at those photos and I feel like a million bucks and it makes my day a little better. Totally worth every penny!

I wasn't Entirely sure because it was definitely something I wasn't sure about because I am not extremely confident in my body. I thought "why would I do this if I don't LOVE LOVE my body right now. It was the BEST decision ever!! This made me fall in love with myself again!! The shoot was so fun! Carla's energy and personality makes the session a blast!! I am Ready to book another! When I left for an hour so she could go through and edit I was So anxious and ready to see them! Her work and editing is amazing!! She made feel so comfortable during the shoot and I loved It!! I can NOT recommend her enough!! I will be telling all of my friends about her!! Not only will my fiancé love this gift but I love This gift for myself!! Thank you so much Carla, I cant Thank you enough!!!

A friend recommended her to me for boudoir photos and I contacted her and was able to book within a few weeks (though I believe she typically books further out). She answered all of my questions beforehand, gave me her cell phone number, reassured me, and gave me tips for the day of. Her studio is absolutely beautiful and very private. She and her makeup artist Destiny were there to greet me and they immediately made me feel extremely comfortable. Destiny did my makeup while LeZandra and I chatted about what types of images I liked and what I wanted out of my photo shoot. I brought some of my own outfits but she has a whole closet of beautiful lingerie and shoes to choose from as well. LeZandra guided me through poses and made me feel super comfortable but like an absolute supermodel at the same time. She was very encouraging and showed me images along the way to make sure I liked the direction she was going in. We ended up taking a little longer than her usual sessions because she was so easy to talk to and felt like an old friend by the end of our session. The whole experience was a blast and I can't wait to see the images. If you are interested in boudoir photography I can not recommend her enough!
