Kyro

"We loved shooting with lotus, we have a very busy toddler who had missed his nap the day of our pictures and lotus still managed to get tons of great photos. Her confidence and kind nature really made it a comfortable atmosphere, which resulted in some great photos. I love how different and creative these ones turned out compared to our usual family photos! I highly recommend lotus and look forward to her capturing our moments in the future."

Testimonials

"Loved working with Lotus! After seeing her InstagramI knew she was one I wanted to book my Mother's Day photos with. I wanted candid and natural photos with my little one that weren't too posed - mostly because posing with a 9 month old seemed impossible! She was so great during the photoshoot; she made it comfortable and was so warm interacting with my daughter.  I also appreciated that she took time to know more about my daughter and I before the shoot in the questionnaire. It made it feel personal and catered to us! I'm incredibly pleased with the photos (especially the variety and quality) and will definitely keep her in mind for future photoshoots. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!

Kiana

"Shooting with Lotus was such a great experience! I have never had  professional photos taken before and she made me feel so comfortable! Lotus is professional while also being super fun and easy to get along with. She has phenomenal creativity, great posing, directions and is all around gem of a human. I would recommend Lotus to anyone, especially of they are looking for someone who is open-minded and easy to collaborate with. You can obviously tell she is passionate about her work and really values being present with her clients. AND to top it all off she had the edited photos delivered to me in an amazing time-frame! I really can't say enough good thing about Lotus! She's the best!

“We had such a wonderful experience working with Lotus Martel for our couple photoshoot! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail truly shine through in every photo. The final pictures turned out absolutely stunning—each shot beautifully captured our connection and the emotions of the moment. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! Thank you for not only delivering such beautiful memories but also for making the entire process so enjoyable.“

She is so pleasant to work with and always puts a smile on your face. She is very creative and isn’t afraid to try new things. I can’t wait to continue to work with her. She just knows how to capture the moment. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Bethany

“Lotus is an amazing photographer and I am usually want to hate any photos taken of me because I usually end up hating them, but Lotus did such an amazing job, I’ve never felt this confident and she made sure that happened during our shoot and afterwards. 10 out of 10 recommend getting a shoot done with her because I guarantee you will love the photos you get and the price for the quality and the amount of photos you get is amazing and I am already planning my next sessions with her and I cannot wait.”

She was prepared with everything, poses included! She was so efficient and incredible with the camera! Lotus was so fast to get the photos back to me! I had amazing experience and I would 100% do another shoot with her!”
