My family and I booked a session to be photographed at the beach and they came out to our resort so it was very convenient. I was worried about the Florida weather and rainy afternoon showers on the day of our shoot and Lu and Zan came out early to avoid the rain. They were both wonderful and incredibly patient with our kids. Super friendly and talkative to really put us at ease and get great shots of the family and also just the kids. If you are looking to have a relaxed and beautiful photo session I highly recommend them. The images were sent to me in only a few days and were gorgeous.

She doesn't like smiling on command, and when she does, it's usually a silly grin! We wanted to get some Christmas photos this year but weren't sure where to go since we had only recently moved to Florida a little over a year ago. That's when I found Kari Rae Photography through a local Facebook group. Her photos were stunning, and the backgrounds were just the style I had in mind. I reached out to Kari through Messenger, and she was so friendly and easy to schedule with. I shared my concerns about timing and my daughter's reluctance to be in photos, and she was very understanding. When we arrived at the session, I was immediately impressed by how beautiful and child-friendly her setups were. Kari's warm and welcoming personality helped my daughter feel comfortable right away. She even had little props for my daughter to hold, which made for some fantastic shots! We ended up with over 200 photos, and I loved so many of them that we purchased additional images beyond our original package. Kari really captured the essence of my girls and I'm so grateful for the beautiful memories she created for our family. We will absolutely be using her for future sessions, whether it's for birthdays or other family photos!

She was on time and prepared. Annie said several times that she was willing to take any individual and group shots we wanted. She would also pause to fix hair (important on a windy beach!), adjust clothing and make suggestions for poses. Our granddaughter is 1 year old and she was patient and broke up the shots she was in, so she didn't get cranky. We got our pictures back this week and they are stunning! I would 100% recommend Annie and Black Pineapple Photography.

Due to the fact that I have mobility issues, four of my family members took time from work and traveled thousands of miles so we could capture five generation photos. I hired Black Pineapple Photography to capture the photos. We were to receive our digital photos approximately two to three weeks after the shoot. What I received two weeks later was an email from Liz, proprietor of Black Pineapple Photography. The email stated that my money had been refunded and the photos from our family shoot were permanently lost. WHAT? LOST? An email, not even the courtesy of a phone call or any explanation as to what had occurred. You can imagine the disappointment my family members and I experienced. Two days after the receipt of the email and after my granddaughter called Liz and complained I received a phone call with an explanation. Apparently the photographer, who took the pictures, did not change the SIM card following our shoot and shot another event over our session. Beware, as that photographer still is used by this company. There is no way to recover the photos. This error, the lost employment time, air fare, lodging and car rental expenses were great. Needless to say we cannot capture this time again or recoupe the expenses. "Beware of Black Pineapple Photography".

Their way of treating people though made for a really struggle working with them. It's taken a while to write this review because I had such a bad experience. They lied to me multiple times.

Very disappointed with the experience I had with them as a whole not matter how their photos turned out.
