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.

From the owner: Like many, I am always trying to express my interpretation of life, and nothing satisfies me more…read morethan doing so through the viewfinder of a camera. I love to study people, how we interact with one another and the emotions expressed on our faces and in our body language. Simply put, I believe writing the unwritten story with images that say it all. Photography for me is about capturing the emotion and beauty of life that occurs within a fraction of a second and documenting these precious moments before they slip away... never to be seen again. My style is best characterized as portrait journalism, an artistic blend of the photojournalistic style coupled with documentary portraiture to create the romantic and soulful feel that reflects the essence of the moment. This style captures images in a way that will allow you to remember the emotion of your special event.
