“Wonderful experience! Lavona is so gifted and personable. She uses her experience and instincts to create beautiful portraits!” ~ Vicki W.
“I hate having my picture taken, I wasn't sure if I would follow through. I am so glad I did. I had such an amazing experience working with Lavona and her wonderful makeup artist Veronica. I was nervous but immediately put at ease by just watching Lavona's face light up when she got just what she wanted. Lavona has an amazing vision and put me at ease. I absolutely loved how my photos came out. It was just too hard to pick! This was the perfect way to capture a moment of reflection in between challenging times. Thank you!” ~ Marilyn C.
"Formerly an interior designer, Ms. Gelardi draws upon her artistic ability to create beautiful vignettes, simultaneously drawing out and highlighting the very best from her subjects. Her flair for creating and capturing a mood was, for us, unparalleled. My daughter and I recently experienced a photo shoot with Ms. Gelardi. Yes, I said “experienced”, because that’s what it was… an experience. We came out feeling a little spoiled and special and ultimately thrilled with the finished product, which we will be able to treasure always." ~ Stacy S
"Lavona is a true artist! She is a magician behind the camera, the end results are heirloom keepsakes. Her photos aren’t just photos, I’ve experienced many photographers through the years and I have never encounter one that has captured the entire story of my children the way she has. Look forward to future sessions. Thank you Lavona!" ~ Martha G
“Lavona was very patient and professional as we worked to come up with a few corporate-type photos. The final product is lovely and I could not have asked for more. She has my recommendation for sure!” ~Bonnie F.
"She's the best!!!" ~ Dina O.
"Our goal was to capture the family in the moment with realism and fun. Lavona Gelardi helped the day become so much more. She responded almost instantaneously to my inquiry. She was up for the challenge of a quick assemblage at a cold, remote site and then she turned the morning in to magic. We now have heritage artistry with the whole family looking uniquely at their best with hints of their beyond. I cannot recommend Lavona, her work and able assistant highly enough! " ~ Robyn D
"I was amazed at how my pictures turned out. Lavona has a unique talent for capturing personality. I love every photo of me and my horse. I usually don't like photos of myself. It has been a wonderful experience having my portraits done and I have something unique and special that my kids and future grandkids can enjoy." ~ Laura D
