Hiring LyVell was the best decision for a relaxed family photo session. He was agreeable and happy to go to a location that required a bit of a walk to reach. Set at the the railroad tunnels above the southern portion of Lake Mead, LyVell was able to put the family at ease to attain some really great photos of all us.
From start to finish, this was a great experience. When the need comes for another professional photo session, I will be contacting LyVell again. I highly recommend him.

LyVell was great from start to finish, first off he showed up on time and was ready to work, his ability to get the shot you want is on point, and he was very guiding and respectful. On top of his photography skills he is a great and pleasant person.

We had an amazing experience with LyVell during our couple’s photoshoot in Las Vegas. I couldn’t be happier with the final results, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful.
LyVell went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and made a real effort to meet us at the times that worked best for us. He was patient, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. He even followed us through several casinos, capturing stunning moments in different locations and truly embracing the Vegas vibe.
Highly recommend LyVell to anyone looking for a talented, flexible, and dedicated photographer. Five stars without a doubt!

We had the absolute best experience working with Lyvell! He not only gave us a great rate, but more importantly, he completely delivered when it came to capturing our special day. The photos turned out amazing — from the big moments to the small candid shots of our friends and family, he really caught the energy and emotion of it all.
On top of that, he was a true professional: showed up on time, communicated clearly, and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. His easygoing personality made the whole shoot fun and natural, which really shows in the photos.
If you’re looking for someone who can combine talent, reliability, and an amazing eye for capturing moments you’ll actually want to remember, I can’t recommend Lyvell enough!
