Testimonials

“Lana is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Lana and I can attest to her professionalism as a photographer, instructor and a successful business woman. She has a keen sense of what businesses require. The photos she produces are subtly and gracefully conscious of needs for web content, advertising, social media flyers and conveying personal style all while staying true and authentic to portraying one’s specific character. I appreciate Lana‘s expertise of course, but I couldn’t have anticipated the level of ease she was able to provide during the session. I am so happy with Wild Thing Photography and I am confident you will be too. 100% recommend!”

“We are obsessed with our photos and entire experience. Our house was a lighting nightmare, but looking at the final products you would never know it! She was thorough, professional and directive from start to finish! We will definitely hire her again in the future!”

“I am totally geeking out over all these beautiful captures from my 34 week maternity shoot with Lana! (Wish I could share some with my review.) I can’t believe I waited so long to shoot with her! She is one absolutely amazing human being who does and offers so much!!! Annnnnnddd I am super excited that I already have a couple more photoshoots in the works with her!!! ”

“Lana is amazing! I did a boudoir holiday shoot with her. She is a perfect blend of professional and very comfortable to be around. She brought out so many aspects of my personality, and made me feel so beautiful! The pictures exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely recommend her!”

“I can’t begin to say how incredible Lana and Wild Thing Photography.

Technical aspect: Lana has an incredible eye for lighting. She made sure we scheduled a perfect time to get the perfect light. She is very familiar with spots in San Antonio to get the best shots, but is also willing to travel to your favorite spot for a fee. She also loves pushing the envelope to really get a unique shot or the perfect angle.

Yoga Knowledge: Lana has years of yoga experience in teaching. Not only will she know exactly what poses you like, but she’s sure to cue your poses to make sure they translate beautifully to the lens. I always feel like I went to a great yoga class and happened to get pictures taken.

Personality: Lana is the funest, down to earth person. She was not stuffy, but fun and real. She makes you feel like a queen during the shoot. And it’s not an act, she believes it! You’ll leave your photo shoot with incredible pictures and a new friend.

Photos: I told Lana- every time she sent a photo, I was obsessed with it more than the last. The pictures are NOT photoshopped like crazy. It’s a very natural, beautiful aesthetic. In addition to putting on my website and social media, I see these as art. I want to put one on a canvas and in my home. Seriously, Lana is one of the most talented photographers I’ve met and I’ve been working in the media industry for 8 years. Hire Lana now if you want an unforgettable experience and if you truly want to see yourself as the work of art you’ve been made.”

“I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to shoot with many photographers, but when I shoot with Lana, I know for a fact I’ll walk away with more than a handful of images that will make me feel spectacular. Lana was one of the first photographers I shot with and her photos opened the door to so many possibilities for my brand. She’s so easy to work with and knows how to get you to relax and just have fun! She captured perfectly the mood I was going for and I still use her work for my promo material.
Since Lana is a veteran yoga instructor, herself, she knows all the right cues to ensure you’re aligned in your postures so you look great in your photos. However, I will say, its not just about being able to snap a photo and cue someone at the same time. Her creative eye is unmatched in the industry of yoga/fitness photography. Her work is worth every penny.”

““I had the pleasure to have a photoshoot with Lana! I loved her work! I wanted her to shoot my photos especially for advertising/flyers specifically, because of the different close ups and space she leaves for wording. Lana is super down to earth and after meeting her a couple of times from yoga class she does not waste time in getting the job done. During the shoot it felt like every minute was not wasted. She quickly sees the location/space and sees what will work. She also was very helpful checking for those details like hair, hands placements, clothing adjustments which I appreciated very much. Also, from yogi to yogi she was definitely able to assist me in a pose or two to get into position. Loved all my edited photos and all the angles just picking my favorite to post on my social media was tough. Thank you, Lana for the quality of the shoot as well as the promptness in getting the photos sent to me. A very smooth photoshoot and felt very comfortable. Definitely, recommend and would totally do another shoot with her.” ”

“Lana Reed is simply the best! As a yoga school, to have a yoga teacher that is also a photographer is such a gift. Not only is she a great photographer, she knows the nuances of the poses and practices she is taking pictures of. She pays attention to all of the small things many photographers don’t know how to look for. From marketing images, to individual shoots, to teacher trainee graduation photos Lana is and will always be our girl!”

“Lana recently photographed my family portraits. Our entire family does not get together often and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get some great pictures. I am amazed at the quality and quantity of photos that my entire family had their eyes open and were not making silly faces! She somehow found the magical moments for us and I could not be more thankful. I also used Lana’s epic photography skills to capture my updated LinkedIn photos. She suggested a great location and was able to get quite a few amazing pictures - my only problem was choosing which one to use! I ended up choosing the right one that helped me land my dream job!”

“Lana is amazing! She is prompt , professional , patient and took spectacular pictures. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Lana’s class was just what we needed. My friend Lindsay came too. She has been frustrated that her practice, like ours, has stalled. Class was tooth to tail: from the preparatory stretches/ asanas and strength builders to the actual pose and then use it in a flow/ transition. I hadn’t had a class in SATX like that for a long time. Lana even corrected a few things I’ve been doing incorrectly for a while now.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of being photographed by Lana on several occasions (for both yoga/fitness & maternity), and the experience has always been amazing. During our shoots Lana has helped me feel both comfortable and effortlessly beautiful—which has resulted in some really epic shots that I am so proud and delighted to have on display!

Lana is not only a highly capable and talented photographer, but she is a wonderful and compassionate person, too! I think her personality only helps make the process all the more positive, because being photographed can sometimes be intimidating. That being said, Lana has always gone above and beyond to make me feel at ease behind the camera, and the result is always exquisitely more awesome than I ever could have imagined!

I cannot speak more highly of Lana’s professionalism, timeliness, and her ability to capture the magic of the moment—I love and cherish every single one of my photos from our shoots, and I think she is simply the best.”

““Lana has a wonderful perspective when she’s behind her lens. We have done a number of yoga shoots. Being a yoga instructor herself gives her the perfect skill set to capture just the right shot while also cueing adjustments during the shoot. I have always been thrilled with the final products and absolutely love her energy as a person. She will make you feel free and confident before, during and after the shoot.” ”

“A yoga photo shoot with Lana will yield beautiful results because she is knowledgeable both in yoga and photography. When we shot at Hotwells, she gave me great direction that optimized my poses, shapes, angles, lighting, and expression. On top of that she is a blast to work with. I’m lucky to call Lana both a professional peer and wonderful friend.”

“Lana is an absolute magician behind the lens!  She has a gift to capture moments perfectly and make me feel like an absolute rockstar.  With this maternity shoot, we were fighting against overcast skies & impending rain;  she snapped some amazing pictures of myself and husband.  We continued later to get some amazing silhouette and yoga maternity photos.  Despite my puppies inability to sit still, she was able to snap some adorable pics with them too!  On a whim we also shot a few yoga maternity pictures and they are stunning!  I am so happy that she gave the suggestion and we went with it.  We will cherish these pictures for a life time and are so lucky to have Lana as an amazing photographer and friend.”

“The first thing I have to say about Lana Reed’s Yoga Teacher Training is WOW! It was very challenging and very rewarding. She struck a good balance between rigor and ease. We learned much of technical aspects such as Sanskrit for poses, how to enter and exit poses, how to sequence appropriately. She invited many wonderful expert guests that taught numerous topics (e.g., meditation, pranayama, yoga sutras, yin yoga, Ayurveda, mudras, chakras, essential oils, mala meditation, history of yoga, spiritual and philosophical aspects.  I learned a great deal and the other people in the training were fabulous; it is a very bonding experience”

“Lana is so professional and kind. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful before, during, and after photoshoot. I loved working with her and even more, I love my final products. I highly recommend!”

“Lana is a fantastic photographer. She was on time and professional. We really enjoyed working with her and I highly recommend choosing her if you are looking for high quality affordable photography.”

“I loved every single minute of my session with Lana. She is incredibly professional and uplifting. She absolutely helped me to come out of my shell and feel comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Thank you Lana for doing an excellent photography job for my Photoshoot. My photos came out amazing! Love them all!”

“Wow, just wow!!! I’m! so! Happy!! I love them all and I’m going to cherish our pictures forever! Easy to work with and will do anything for the perfect photo.”

“Lana is the best photographer I have ever worked with. She has an eye for capturing movement and spirit that I have never seen before. Furthermore, she makes each photoshoot fun and engaging with her positive energy. I was not comfortable being photographed the first time we had a shoot, but that quickly changed as she made me feel safe and secure. I will always choose Lana as my photographer, because she is so willing to go above and beyond to get the perfect photo.”
