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.

Because I am in the tourism and travel industry and since airports are some of my favorite places, I asked Brooke if we could do my session at Tampa International Airport. She happily obliged my request. She took many photos and suggested some creative ideas. She made me feel very comfortable striking poses. Brooke's artistic eye is great. I especially like the movement blur that she is able to do. It was convenient to review the images online too. I am very pleased with the photos because they capture the perfect mix of my professional qualities and personal spirit!

BEWARE Brooke will cancel on you at the last minute!!!…read more Contacted Brooke for a beach wedding shoot to take place on July 3rd. Brooke provided information and pricing. She requested names and said she'd draw up a contract and send to me via email. A few days passed and I followed up again as I hadn't heard back or received the contract. She said she was sick and would get the contract to me. She reassured me not to worry because she had my date on the calendar. 2 additional days passed and I sent Brooke a text letting her know we moved up the wedding an hour and she confirmed it wasn't an issue. During this time I'm following Brooke's work on social media excited for her to shoot my daughter's wedding. 2 weeks went by and still no contract and now it's the day before the wedding. I sent Brooke a text letting her know I was looking forward to meeting her. At that time she replied saying she had covid and could not shoot the wedding. We are not locals, we flew in from Texas and were now left without photographer 24 hours before the wedding. Going back to social media I'm able to see Brooke has definitely been out and about without issue...I come across her personal FB page to see she flew out to Wisconsin the day of my daughters wedding.....left me speechless.

BEWARE: DO YOUR RESEARCH! Hour session $375.00…read moreDOES NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING but taking photos. 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!!!!!

My husband and I are both photographers, so needless to say, photography was a top priority for our…read morewedding day. I had followed Regina years before our engagement, because I admired her work. So when the time came, she was at the top of our list and one of the first people we contacted. As soon as I met Regina in person at our first meeting, I knew I was going to hire her. Not only was she the sweetest person ever, and we connected on so many levels. But she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about so many other vendors. She had photographed at our venue before, and actually showed us a set-up a previous couple had used in our space, which we ended up using as well. This helped so much because we weren't sure how to set it up previously. The vendor recommendations on her website were also insanely helpful. We booked our Event Coordinators and Hair & Make-up artists (both of which were awesome) because of those recommendations. We live in Washington, but our wedding was in Tampa Bay. We were lucky enough to have Regina come out to Washington to shoot our engagement photos. They came out INCREDIBLE! As photographers we're not used to being in front of the camera, and were a little nervous, but she made the shoot so much fun and effortless. She was amazing on our wedding day as well, helping us pick our locations for photos, and making the whole day stress free. She fit right in with our friends and family, and it felt like we had another friend with us all day. Most of my bridal party said they want to be BFFs with her in real life (us included.) I really can't say enough good things about Regina. She is insanely talented and wonderful. We love all of our photos so much and felt so lucky to have her around on such a big day. What are you waiting for? HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!
