In setting up my family session Ariel kept in communication as my plans changed, found a beautiful…read morelocation for our photos, and made us feel comfortable and prepared before the shoot. When we arrived, Ariel was parked exactly where she said she would be and was easy to find even though we hadn't been to the location before the shoot. She was very personable, calling us by our names (no "hey you"). Ariel encouraged us to be natural, giving direction on what to do and helping us get into better positions without being rude or negative. For example, she asked me to bring my face closer to my sons by leaning my head toward the camera and not mentioning the fact that otherwise I would look like I have a double chin. High EQ (she's conscious of others' feelings). We have a young son and she was so patient and understanding of his needs (like being changed and fed during the shoot to pacify his fussiness). She took advantage of those moments to capture photos of him and plan out our next shots. Waiting for images after the shoot was the hardest part. Her turn around was two weeks and I felt like a bride anxiously anticipating them in the mail every day. I was led on even more by a post of two photos to Facebook, which were darling! As promised, she sent the disc two weeks after our shoot. When the package arrived I was floored! I don't want to spoil her surprises, but I will say she goes above just getting you some images on a disc or drive.

We had our own ideas, and although Stephanie was willing to accommodate, she strongly suggested an alternate, yet very beautiful, location which turned out to be much cooler, excellent lighting, and truly just wonderful back drop. Like my daughter said, she's the expert. She knows better. Listen to her, you will be grateful later. We are very pleased with out photos. She is quite reasonable. We definitely would consider her for our next photo shoot needs. Maybe the fall, in our alternate location. Thank you Stephanie for your wonderful communication, patience, and fun shoot.

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.
