    "I had such a great experience with 40 over 40 shoot with Lakesha Miner. She kept in communication throughout the process with updates, recommendations, and suggestions for the big day. It had been over 20 years since my last professional photo shoot, y'all remember Glamour Shots right? Well, this was NOT that! I was so pleased with the entire process. Starting with my makeup makeover. It was perfect for my style which is usually minimalist! Oh boy did she turn up, it was fabulous! I loved that the make up was light, nothing caked or heavy! It really didn't feel like I was wearing any.

    Now onto the shoot; I had a casual, professional, and boudrie shoots. I told Lakesha I was no fuss and open to her vision in the shoot. She was also open to some of the poses that just happened naturally and she made them all look so amazing. I cannot wait to get the prints! Overall it was such a great experience and even though I intentionally signed up for this, I did not know how much I needed this. I have just lost 100lbs and these photos were the perfect milemaker to something that has been impacting my life for over the last 15 years. She captured the physical visualization that I had when I started my weight loss journey, what I call my fierce self! This shoot helped remind me of who I am, what it means to be a woman and be proud of my body and how I was created. This was such a great experience. I am looking forward to working with her again in the future!!"

    "Well, Lakesha is an absolute pleasure!

    Where should I begin??

    Initial consultation- Lakesha is warm, personable, understanding and professional. She takes the time to understand why you are taking the pictures. She not only listens but hears you!

    Before the shoot- Lakesha sends many emails with instructions of what to expect and how you should prepare. Her emails are filled with great suggestions of how to make the most out of your experience. I appreciated the encouragement, honesty and empowering words.

    Day of shoot- you are greeted with enthusiasm and positive energy from Lakesha and Kelsey( make-up artist) They both made you feel beautiful and comfortable. Lakesha’s energy is infectious and it allows you to embrace your inner and outer beauty even more after every picture.

    If you are looking for an opportunity to have your pictures make a statement and bring out your true personality, give Lakesha a shot. You will not be disappointed."

  • Zaraider Stiney

    "I prayed to find a photographer and there she was on Facebook promoting her 40 over 40 magazine photo shoot. After a brief conversation, we connected and she decided I was a good fit! Look at God! I was so excited to have this experience. This year has been a doozy. As we all experienced this pandemic, I wanted to feel liberated. Women endured so much and we require little for ourselves. This day was EPIC! I felt like a STAR!

    Lakesha is professional, kind, friendly and HONEST! It’s hard to find honest people. She made me feel comfortable and I enjoyed my photo shoot. When I left, I felt so happy. I told everyone I know about me experience. I am looking forward to another photo shoot! So if you are looking to have the best photos and positive vibes, I encourage you to look her up. Just talking to her makes you have a great day!

    See you soon, Lakesha."

  • Bunmi Akinnusotu

    LaKesha is simply the best. From our first conversation until I got my photos, she was easy to work with, positive, and encouraging. She really wants you to look and feel your best and that's exactly how i experienced her. My hair, makeup, wardrobe and looks came out beautiful and I almost didn't recognize myself. This was the best gift for my 40th and I'm grateful she's sharing her talents. You will not be disappointed with LaKesha and her warmth. Oh and the packaging and presentation of my photos was perfect. I'm honored to have crossed paths with her and her eye for grace and beauty.

  • Cheryl Mooty

    I took a chance by responding to Lakesha’s Facebook ad for a 40 over 40 photo campaign. I was not disappointed. Lakesha is an awesome photographer. She is full of positive energy and makes the whole experience fun. The most challenging thing was deciding upon which photos to purchase because she is just that awesome!

  • Elaine Lewis

    I participated in the '40 Over 40' campaign and I am so glad that I did!!! I was treated like a celebrity with a professional makeup and photography session. I had the best time!! Lakesha was so professional and made me feel like a queen!!! I highly recommend her services!!
