Thanks for the senior pics!

Thumbtack customerOct 2026

We did a mini session for my brothers senior photos and the results were incredible! Pleasure to work with, amazing value, and very straightforward and simple process. Will be back next time I’m in the market for a photographer. Thanks again!!

Jamel was absolutely the perfect choice for our photos. He was funny and made our beautiful moments even better. He knew exactly what style looked best and poses and helped us with our personal choices. I would definitely recommend and choose him again!

Jamel was amazing. Showed up half an hour early to help my now fiancées sisters set up my proposal backdrop. Got amazing photos of the actual moment as well as the following photo shoot. Effortlessly directed me and my fiancee to do shots that we would have never thought of, but also took our ideas into consideration. Jamel helped us recreate a previous photo we had taken. He truly made our engagement very special. Would recommend, and most likely will be using for our wedding.

Jamel did an amazing job capturing our wedding. I am very satisfied with my photos and he made everything so much less stressful on our big day. He was a pleasure to work with, quick to respond, and worked really well with the kids. I would 100% work with him again in a heartbeat.

Photos turned out great! Beautiful quality and very professional. It took a little longer than originally expected, however it was holiday season so I was ready for some sort of delay. I will definitely consider coming back for more photos in the future.

He made our experience absolutely wonderful! Our pictures were beautifully edited and the poses were well thought out. The pictures were ready sooner than expected as well! Most of all, he is LGBT+ friendly and will do photos for all relationships!

Can’t say enough good things about our experience with JL Photography! He came last minute for family pics at our home in north Olmsted, was so patient and great with getting the kids attention for the pics! Great quality and worked with our limited budget. Will definitely be booking our future photos with him. Highly recommend!!

5 stars well deserved he was friendly and on time. We love how our pictures came out. 10000/10 will recommend to every one!

Matthew J.Jun 2025

I would highly recommend JL Photography. He was very responsive to our needs and captured the perfect photos. He found amazing locations to highlight the outfits and get the shots that we needed for our modeling photos. My daughter is 11 years old and he knew exactly how to portray her in the poses and highlight her strengths.

We’re so grateful to JL Photography for capturing our wedding so beautifully. The photos are stunning—full of emotion, light, and moments we’ll treasure forever. Professional, kind, and incredibly talented—we couldn’t have asked for more!

I cannot say enough good things about Jamel. He was so kind and personable. My husband and I got married at the Courthouse and took a few pictures across the street at the old courthouse. I recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer in the Cleveland area!

Chloe G.May 2025

Jamel was amazing to work with. He explained the process in great detail and was able to capture our vision flawlessly. He truly made our wedding day special, and our pictures came out beautifully. Highly recommend.

Shannon G.Apr 2025

My husband and I decided to elope and had 1 week to plan. I wanted something a little different from the court room vibes and Jamel was not only quickly available, he traveled to Pittsburgh and made a courthouse elopement feel like a dreamy wedding. The photos speak for themselves and we will treasure this special moment forever. 10/10 recommend.

Laura M.Apr 2025

Jamel did a great job. I was very happy with my pictures, they were exactly what I had in mind, he was very helpful and nice. I was nervous about posing in front of other people but he made feel comfortable and confident. He was very quick to respond and very professional. I will 100% recommend him

Brooke K.Apr 2025

I’ve never used thumbtack before, but I had a wedding a month away and couldn’t find a photographer. JL photography was quick to answer, and was thorough answering all of my questions. He walked me through the entire process, and communicated very well on the day of the wedding. He made the entire process so comfortable, and was very personable on the day of the wedding. I love his editing style, and his turn around on pictures is super quick. I cannot recommend him enough. Great pictures, great price, great communication.

Issa E.Mar 2025
