I cannot recommend Lavel Marie Photography enough! Such an incredible photographer to work with. Lavel was energetic, engaging, patient with our four young children, and a lot of fun! I will be forever grateful of the beautiful images Lavel captured of our family. read more

Well, where do I even begin? I met Lavel a few years ago as a fellow photographer for coffee, and the rest is history. I have unique experience working with Lavel on numerous occasions, both behind and in front of the camera. As a photographer she is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and prepared before every session. She does a great job organizing and directing groups and families in a wedding setting, all while continuing to make it fun, so that everyone has a great time (which is a feat in and of itself)! Her sister and Assistant Lara, is a blast, SO fun, and helps every aspect to run seamlessly. Chenoa, is an amazing photographer as well and is such a beautiful and friendly person. The team they have is and has become a little family, that rocks the socks off of every photography session. In front of the camera I have modeled for two styled shoots, one turned into my SURPRISE proposal!! Both times were meticulously well crafted and organized. Lavel worked with my now fiance to plan the most beautiful and perfect setup for him to pop the question... literally made my dreams come true! Working together, Lavel is one of the kindest souls you will ever meet. She not only invests in people as clients, but she does it to build relationships. Which is something incredibly rare these days! Lavel has such creative vision and the ability to bring it to life! Additionally, Lavel is excellent at giving direction for posing which doesn't feel awkward or unnatural, something that is incredibly helpful! Her work is second to none and never fails to leave me speechless. If you've made it through reading this novel of a review, there should be no question in your mind whether or not I would recommend Lavel Marie Photography. YES, everyday and twice on Sundays (especially on Sundays ) read more

I live in San Diego with my husband who is an ABQ native. Last minute right before Christmas he suggested we go to visit his family for the holidays. We had just spent Thanksgiving in San Diego who hd taken photos of my side of the family and I loved them so I figured this would be a good opportunity to take family photos of our toddler with his NM family. In less than 2 days I researched the hell out of instagram to find local ABQ photographers whose work I liked. I'm super picky as I like natural light photos that are not overly exposed light and airy or dark and moody. Its actually really hard to find photographers who use a really clear lightroom preset. I also wanted a photographer who didnt use a watermark and would give me all of the photos.. After a ton of research I reached out to Lavel and she was able to meet our group of 11 at Bocce reserve and in an hour did an outstanding job capturing my inlaws. I'll include a few here for you. read more
