What I value most is that I never have to wonder whether the moment got preserved. I never have to hope someone got the shot. I know he did. As the person primarily responsible for our marketing, I always say Lanny's photos are the gift that keeps on giving. We are still using them long after the event has ended. So when it came time to host our biggest event ever, I knew exactly who to call. Our national convention brought roughly 1,000 people to Durham from more than 30 states across four days, and Lanny covered all of it. Rides that started before sunrise, a formal evening dinner, a downtown festival, a VIP reception, and portraits in between.

Testimonials

Before the photo shoot even started, we met with Lanny, who brainstormed several location ideas inspired by our vision. Arriving early and full of enthusiasm, he scouted the area for the best spots. The session itself felt natural, almost like just hanging out with a friend. Seeing the memories he captured through his lens was truly inspiring. To our surprise, the photos arrived even sooner than we expected. Lanny is now our go-to photographer for any occasion, and we wholeheartedly recommend his exceptional service.
Ryan Sellars, Family Session
Lanny is a thoughtful and gifted artist. He treats every photo shoot as an experience for his subjects. He knows how to work with a broad range of clients - from those who come ready to love the experience, to teenagers who would rather be anywhere else! He captures a full vibe and crystalized memories.
Sofia Kluch
Lanny was the photographer for my wife's 50th birthday, and he was one of the best decisions we made. He was easy to work with, showed up ready to go, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. He didn't just take pictures. He captured the moments that made the day so special. Looking through the photos felt like reliving the entire celebration. The smiles, the laughs, the little moments with family and friends, he caught it all. If you're thinking about booking Lanny, do it. He's talented, professional, and genuinely cares about giving you photos you'll treasure for years. We're so grateful he was part of such a special milestone.
Anthony Slade, Event Session
Wonderful experience. Mr. Ealey was professional and captured every moment.
Dantrece Gladney, Event Session
A friend recommended Lanny to us because he does all their family pictures. Lanny did a great job capturing my reluctant son's high school graduation pics and had him genuinely smiling by the end. Lanny is such a delight to work with that I immediately reached out to ask him to shoot a large event I was hosting the following month and those pictures were as great as I expected.
Michele Wilson, Senior Session
We've used Lanny for years and the experience has been awesome. Quality is great and he's personable.
J. Patrick Williams, Corporate Session
Lanny was able to capture my vision for group cycling pictures by finding stunning visual backgrounds and unique poses at every photo shoot. He's a genius at capturing the moment at events and bringing it back to life in his pictures, and his editing is top notch. He's my go-to photographer for real estate and special events.
Shevonne Martin
It was great working with Lanny. He did the photography for my daughter's college graduation pictures, and the whole experience was wonderful. Lanny supplied different options for my daughter to work with, bringing creativity to the shoot and making her feel comfortable throughout. He was willing to go to different areas on campus to capture the best photos reflecting her college experience, and the pictures turned out amazing. My family and I will be using Lanny's services for many years to come and would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic photo shoot experience.
Sherri Griffin
Lanny took pictures at my father's 80th birthday celebration. He captured the spirit of the event for us to enjoy for years to come. His "eye" for capturing moments is exceptional, and the quality of the finished product is outstanding.
JC Kearney, Event Session
Working with Lanny has always been a pleasure. 700cycling has used his photographic expertise on several occasions. Each time, he captured the visual story we were trying to convey. We served as Lanny's first sports subjects in 2020 and have included his photos for digital marketing and promotional material in securing community sponsorships for our cycling team. As a Development Director for Community Music School (Raleigh) I secured Lanny's services to photograph the school's annual fundraiser and provide images for the school's annual report. CMS continues to use his images to highlight students and their families.
Richard L. Johnson
Lanny has been with us since day one, when we first launched Major Taylor Cycling Club North Carolina in 2021. We didn't even hire him for our first kickoff ride. He simply showed up with his camera, and we are so glad he did. Since then, he has captured countless meaningful moments and has become our go-to photographer for every official event we host. His photos have played a major role in helping us market, grow, and tell the story of our nonprofit. What I value most is that I never have to wonder whether the moment got preserved. I never have to hope someone got the shot. I know he did. As the person primarily responsible for our marketing, I always say Lanny's photos are the gift that keeps on giving. We are still using them long after the event has ended. So when it came time to host our biggest event ever, I knew exactly who to call. Our national convention brought roughly 1,000 people to Durham from more than 30 states across four days, and Lanny covered all of it. Rides that started before sunrise, a formal evening dinner, a downtown festival, a VIP reception, and portraits in between. Whether he is photographing a corporate event, professional headshots, a personal celebration, or a large community gathering, Lanny always understands the assignment. His talent, professionalism, and genuine investment in our organization have made him more than a photographer. He has become part of our story.
