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.

We recently did a quick family getaway to Sarasota to celebrate the big 6-0 for my mom. Since the…read moreentire family would be getting together (a rare occurrence with everyone living in a different city), I thought it would be nice to get family photos. I reached out to a bunch of photographers via Yelp, including Gold Sun Studios. Allison responded immediately and when she explained her pricing model ($100 for 15 photos) I immediately asked what the catch was because I've hired several professional photographers in Chicago and that's by far the most affordable pricing I've seen. Not to mention her photos on Yelp and her website were really good! When she promised me there was no catch I booked Allison for an hour long sunset session on the beach of our hotel. She was very responsive leading up to the session and arrived right on time. And for once I even got my kids somewhere on time too- vacation agrees with us! We took a few photos of the entire family and then she ended up taking a bunch of candids of everyone. My kids were having a blast playing in the sand and getting wet; it was definitely one of the more relaxing and fun photo shoots we've done. The very next day (speedy!) I had all unedited photos in my inbox. I think narrowed it down to my 15 favorites and she returned the edited versions the very next day. And they perfectly documented this special trip/birthday. We really liked Sarasota so think we'll make our way back at some point and I would definitely call Allison again. in fact, I've already recommended her to everyone I know taking vacations there and/or are lucky enough to live in the area.

We love Allison and her husband, Mark! I found Gold Sun Studios through a search when looking for a…read morewedding photographer who wouldn't eat up our entire wedding budget. Allison was friendly and open to our ideas and flexible with any changes. Prior to the wedding, Allison took our official engagement photos and photos for our Christmas card. We love the quality and the number of pictures she took both times. Both locations were outdoors and we had so much fun finding different areas to choose. Our wedding itself was outstanding! The sheer number of pictures they took was amazing. Guests loved the photo op staging area and my husband and I loved all of the pictures. We have already framed several different shots and plan on giving some as Christmas gifts this year. I can only hope to use Allison again in the future - maybe for baby pictures!

She had many dates available, but figured I wanted to feel my best. I was SOOOOOOO nervous. I called my mom the night before panicking. I am not really a shy person, but this is a very personal and open shoot. My mother told me I was being crazy. The next morning, I met Christina at her studio. It is beautiful. It is open and has all different kinds of areas with lighting and seating. I got my hair and makeup done. WOW!!!! I looked incredible! Sitting there getting the hair/makeup done and chatting with the stylist and Christina relaxed me a bit. After--we went through clothing options. She helped me with what would look good, etc. Once the shoot started, my nerves came back. I felt very exposed and vulnerable. However, Christina made the entire shoot so relaxed and fun. She hyped me up the whole time and I began to feel good about myself and comfortable in the process. At the reveal, I was quite literally shocked. I didnt even recognize myself. The pictures were stunning and so tasteful. I looked absolutely incredible. Christina does amazing work and makes the boudoir shoot fun! She makes you so comfortable and relaxed! I would 100% recommend her for a boudoir shoot! Her wedding photos are stunning too! She was quick to respond, easy to schedule with and just a wonderful person!

I have a little meat on my bones and some parts of my body that I was self conscious about but her experience with posing and angles eliminated all those fears! I just had my gallery reveal today and I was blown away and couldn't believe I was looking at myself. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
