This was an amazing experience from the beginning to the end. He responded within 30 minutes of me sending the inquiry. Got on the phone with me to discuss my vision for the shoot. Not only did he get the most amazing shots but he made the shoot fun as well. He is truly an artist and I’ll be recommending him to everyone in my circle.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with L.B. at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. From the beginning he was friendly and quick to respond. He met with us before the event and even stayed during my daughter's rehearsal to learn exactly what we needed and how the service was going to go.
L.B. has great energy and everyone enjoyed him at the Bat Mitzvah. He's friendly and personable.
He did a great job working with our very big family making sure to get shots of everyone.
His work is high quality and we love the results. We have so many great photos to treasure. The slideshow was a really nice extra touch. We look forward to working with L.B. at our next family event!

LB Blanchard did the photography at my daughter’s wedding. He was professional and very kind. His demeanor put everyone at ease. I haven’t seen the photographs yet (he needs a few weeks to process them, as was expected), but I’ve seen samples of his work and was impressed with the quality of them. I would definitely recommend him to others!

I can't begin to recommend L.B enough! My daughter, who was getting married within a short timeline, had a weddingphotographer but wanted to add a photographer for her reception. After hearing back from L.B. quickly, I was fully convinced he was the best choice for many reasons - his value, his responsiveness, his education & expertise, his offer to meet with her at reception site before event to discuss her needs & offer to provide her with a complimentary video of some of her personal pictures to view his editing skills.
Last, but certainly not least, his portfolio of work was not only outstanding it far surpassed others who were charging a great deal more.
My daughter & I were both elated to find such a gem of a photographer! Thanks L.B!!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
To keep up with digital photography you must continue to educated yourself in all the latest information. I continue to take a Photoshop class each month. I am also the President of the Lakewood Ranch Digital Photo Club with over 100 members and teach a continuing education class for members on all aspects of photography. I am also an active member of BPPA, (Bay Professional Photographer's Association) that offers continuing education for members at each meeting.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Most of my photography involves people and making them look their absolute best in a photograph. No matter if is business headshot, a portrait or a wedding, eveyone wants to look their best. I interview my clients before taking the photo to determine how the photo will be used. Then knowing how to properly pose, properly light and finally properly retouch the person insures the photo will be the best.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
My advise to anyone hiring a professional photographer:
1.Is the photographer a member of a professional photographer's association or just an amateur?
2. Does the photographer have the proper equipment to do your photography: camera, lighting, Photoshop?
3. Does the photographer have a website that shows their quality of work.
4. Does the photographer's style match with what the client wants in a photograph.
