Lanie Louise Photography

I met Lanie when she shot a friend’s bridal shower last year. I was so impressed with the way that she captured the day, that I made a mental note to reach out to her in the future. I was blessed to have two bridal showers, and was looking for someone to capture both events. Lanie was the best thing that could’ve happened to us! All the guests were pleasantly surprised to see a photographer was there, and it really eased the annoying 50 cameras at the same time situation during photo opps :) She was so professional, easygoing, and constantly snapping photos to make sure a moment and all the details weren’t missed. She provided the photos in a timely manner and even mailed over a cute package with the CD of photos.
In addition to event photography, Lanie is a super talented engagement and wedding photographer. Her work is beautiful and I have a friend who saw her work with my showers and decided to have Lanie do her wedding — sure her photos will be amazing!

If you are looking for an amazing wedding, engagement, love-​shoot photographer… Lanie is your girl! Lanie has done four photo shoots with me and knocks my socks off every time!
I have known Lanie since our freshman year of college, and she has a special talent that is truly one of a kind. She has a unique eye for so many various natural poses and details unlike anyone I know. So many photographers over-​edit photos. Lanie’s artistic flair always captivates and enhances your natural beauty… something that is very important to me as a client.
Lanie first started out doing a love-​shoot session for my husband (then boyfriend) and I on the beach of Santa Barbara in 2011. She had a way of making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and captured our love in a playful and natural setting. The photos turned out amazing… it was then we decided we wanted her to photograph our wedding and engagement session in the near future.
When we became engaged, there was no question that we wanted Lanie to do all of our photos. We had our engagement session at Knapps Castle in Santa Barbara, and flew her up to Washington State for our outdoor farm wedding. She captured every special moment, tear, and detail of our big day! I wouldn’t have trusted anyone more.
What can I say but look at the photos and see for yourself. She has a talent like no other.
Bravo Lanie and keep up the good work!

A friend and I had our senior photos taken by Lanie in April of 2014. It was such a fun experience! Lanie made sure we got what we wanted out of the photo session, from location to poses to specific backgrounds to outfits, but was also always willing to provide input on what was a good idea (I’m definitely not experienced in front of a camera!). She was sweet and helpful, very encouraging, and made the session fly by (we forgot to change outfits because we were enjoying ourselves so much!). The turnaround time was so quick — we got our photos right away — and there were so many to choose from! They were very high quality photos in all senses, and I was so excited to share them with my family and friends. I still use them for professional/​academic purposes, and I am excited to do so! I love our photos!

This review is long overdue!
Lanie photographed my bridal shower on June 1, 2014. I hired her mostly to stop my future mother in law from being behind a camera the entire time, but I also needed to find someone who would make my Mother in Law confident that nothing would be missed. Within minutes Lanie was taking pictures of a lot of details most photographers would miss, which instantly made my mother in law happy and soothed her desire to pick up her camera.
The photos are PHENOMENAL and I wish we had found her sooner and could have booked her for our wedding. Unfortunately, we were already locked into a contract with someone else.
Lanie was easy to work with, fun to chat with, and is beyond talented. She has great direction when taking posed photos, and catches so many of the candid moments. She handled individuals and groups well, as we took large group photos and small group shots. Everything was just fantastic!
I also received the images very soon, and they were all amazing quality. In our three hour event, I received about 300 photos and nothing was missed!
Thank you so so much Lanie!

Lanie took my photos for my College Senior Photos. I was slightly nervous because I’m not photogenic, and somewhat uncomfortable in front of the camera. But Lanie was fantastic! Within minutes, I felt super comfortable in front of her, forgot the camera was there and had so much fun hanging out with Lanie! She did a fantastic job with all the photos, editing them, and getting them back to me in an extremely timely manner, and has a charismatic personality that makes the entire process fun! I could not be any happier with how my Senior Photos came out, and I know that there are something I will cherish for the rest of my life!

I just had our family pictures taken today. She is quick. She sent me a small sample and they look great! With 2 toddlers not sitting still she did a great job! You would never know what trouble we had trying to get one picture! I will use her again!!!

Lanie has got to be the best photographer available! I hired Lanie to photograph my wedding in september 2012. She stayed in contact with me for the entire year leading up to the wedding. Weather it be her amazing organizational skills or her wonderfuly creative ideas, she always stayed in contact with me.
I think what makes Lanie’s photography so extraordinary is her sincerity. She really gets to know you in order to portray the right atmosphere and theme of the photos. Lanie is also very easy to be around. She makes you feel like you’ve known her forever which makes you feel comfortable as she snaps shots, in turn making the photos look absolutely remarkable!
Not only did she take such beautiful pictures, she captured all the right moments! And she really does her research. She finds out which particular style or even which particular shots you want and she makes sure to do everything you asked and more! This girl really has an incredible talent, and after you meet with her just once you won’t even consider anyone else.
Lanie gave me a few CDs with endless amounts of gorgeous pictures with each picture in color and B&W and they were all FLAWLESS.
Lanie absolutely blew everyones mind with her photography skills at the wedding. People are still asking about who my lovely photographer was and I do not hesitate to refer them to Lanie!
Thank you again, Lanie, you really are so talented and such a wonderful person! :)

Found Lanie thanks to Unilocal.Wanted to have some family photos taken of my almost 2 year old twins but wanted that great hip artsy style plus the digital copies of said artsy photos so I could make photobooks, send to family, and loads of other things you end up doing with the photos of your kids for the holidays as gifts for grandparents and dad. Cheesy? perhaps, but let me tell you my family photos are GORGEOUS. So I could plaster these photos on a cheesy mug and all of a sudden it’s like a super awesome gift :).
We met at a lovely location thanks to Lanie’s recommendation. She was fabulous about responding via email to requests regarding location, photo props and other ideas.
I am super happy with all the photos that I have. I can’t decide on favorites because I have so many that I love.
As far as photos of the kids, Lanie did a great job of capturing the moment. I have some really wonderful smiles and expressions on camera that I never get shots of. Even my shy lil gal was giving her big smiles. Having bubbles on hand helps :).
Would I recommend her: TOTALLY! I’ll be using her in the future too!
Check out her site: She has some great talent and I’m glad I found her!

Lanie is wonderful! You won’t find such a sweet, passionate woman anywhere else. Although young in her career, she has such drive to continue on this path. The quality of the photos she takes, the time she puts into each client, and the friendliness she greets you with really just makes the entire process a pleasure. Lanie’s photography and business skills impress me and keep her clients coming back for more. She feels each client out, listens, and then creates a shoot for them that truly shows the client’s personality. Everything she does is spot on and all her clients walk away thrilled. You will be glad you called Lanie, because she really enjoys what she does so she strives to make you happy.

Lanie is an awesome photographer! I love doing photoshoots with her. She takes excellent shots and captures the best moments. She has creative ideas and seems to have a strong direction of where she wants to be going with the photo shoot.

Lanie is incredible! She is not only professional, she is also very talented in her photography skills. She takes gorgeous pictures and does a great job editing them. I promise that you will not be sorry if you hire Lanie to photograph your family portraits, engagements, wedding, senior portraits, or any other big life event!
She shot a wedding with me last summer and was a complete blessing to have! She was in her element as she captured moments at the wedding and reception. She edited her portions of the photos in an extremely timely manner and the client loved them! Her passion for photography and making her clients happy is evident.
Do yourself a favor and call or email her to be your photographer!!!

Lanie is a great photographer! She makes you feel really comfortable during the photo shoot, and all of her pictures turn out beautifully!
