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.

Only half the family was focused so the others are blurry. Filter was orange so my sisters hair…read morelooked fire engine red. We asked for a different filter or the original photos without edits and were ignored when we asked for a different filter and had to pay even more to get the original photos. It's hard to get our whole family together so it's a bummer these turned out so poorly.

Sara made me feel so…read morecomfortable and she made the experience a fun vibe w/ fun music like Madonna playing, wine & a wardrobe to look through. She has great energy. Just a total girls girl. And she does amazing work. My photos were exactly what I was aiming for...sexy yet classy. I also really enjoyed Justina with Just Beauty. She did my hair & makeup that day. She did an amazing job making me look very 90s Victoria Secret bombshell inspired. She was also just a super cool girls girl also. It was just the best day with both of them. I highly recommend! I can't wait to see my fiancés face on our wedding day when I give him these photos! ;)

Everyone who saw my photos complimented them with how amazing they turned out. Stacey knew how to capture the moment and put it on film. She is a wonderful person who made working with her so enjoyable and relaxing. I would highly recommend Stacy to anyone needing a photographer. She really is the BEST and I am so lucky to have found her.

I used Tiffany for both my maternity and newborn photos and she did an excellent job. I found her…read morevia a google search and she had great reviews on there so we decided to give her a chance. While doing my search, I found that her pricing was a tad bit higher than the other photographers, but her reviews were much better so we went with her and we were not disappointed. She was definitely worth every single penny. During our maternity shoot, she made me feel extremely comfortable. I normally don't like my picture taken, and I thought the whole thing would be super awkward but Tiffany made it an easy and fun experience. During our newborn shoot, our daughter was just over a week old. My boyfriend kept calling Tiffany the baby whisperer because every time our daughter started to get fussy, Tiffany was able to calm her down instantly. She had great photo ideas and lots of props to choose from. She also had a nice seating area for us to sit in and watch the session with snacks and drinks. It was definitely a great atmosphere. Tiffany was very friendly, and professional. I would definitely use her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a maternity/newborn photographer. She definitely goes above and beyond, even after the session is over. When she mailed us our digital images on the USB, she included a thank you card, and some goodies all wrapped nicely in a box. It looked very nice. Thank you Tiffany! We had a great time working with you and will hopefully see you again when we decide to have more children :) -Stacey, Adam and Stella.

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!!!!!
