Love Notes.

  • If you want that personal touch or want someone to truly capture your love, happiness, & truly just YOU in all your beautiful moments, LANI IS YOUR GIRL!! Since day one, Lani has made my wife & I feel so comfortable & confident! We first met for a photo shoot she wanted to do with us in the city. Of course Lani went above & beyond & so kindly accommodated an engagement shoot for us that same day! From that moment we fell in love with her & her work! I had never done any photoshoot work so I was nervous but she made me feel so confident & help me get in my zone. This woman is truly a gem, really she’s anyone you want or need her to be for your shoot. Your hype woman, your bestie, your mama, your sissy, or wedding coordinator. Lol. In all seriousness, we are grateful to have had Ms. Lani shoot our engagement & wedding photos! She’s professional, yet still so personable, & kind but firm when needed (getting photos done with my family is a task! We’re a big & loud family, so you gotta be loud & she made the moment happen!). THANK YOU, thank YOU, Lani love!

  • Lani is absolutely amazing!! She shot our engagement and wedding photos. Throughout the whole process, she had great communication and was always reaching out to see how we were doing through wedding planning. She always made sure we knew that she’d be there if we needed anything. She captured everything I wanted and I’m so so grateful for the memories. I would definitely recommend and hire again!

  • My husband and I had an amazing experience with the LV team! Lani is a professional who loves & cares about all her clients. Her work is beautiful! My husband and I had the best day ever on our wedding day with the company of Lani and her team. Now we have our special day captured in gorgeous photographs to look at forever. Super recommend them!
