Let me get this out there first.... I would give Heather and Alamode photography 50 stars if I…read morecould! First, I live in Ohio and we were taking a cruise to Cabo from LA. I decided to propose to my girlfriend at the Griffith Observatory and since I knew no one in California I decided to hire a photographer to capture the moment. I conducted a blind google search and found several photographers, including Alamode Photography. I sent a request for information and received an email and phone call within a few hours. Heather was easy to talk too, excited to be apart of the proposal and trusting of her. I did talk to several other photographers but no one seemed as invested or honestly, made me feel like a friend was taking the pictures. We communicated over several weeks, exchanged ideas, and came up with a great plan. The Proposal went perfectly! Heather was early to the shoot, had locations planned for photos, and most importantly made us feel like a family member/friend was there to share the moment. Of all the photographers in LA, I couldn't have picked a better one!!! Heather and Alamode Photography is fantastic and couldn't have asked for anything more!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Heather of A La Mode Photography! I recently had a…read morematernity shoot with her on the beach in Malibu when I was 35 weeks pregnant -- and let me just say, it was pure magic from start to finish. I'm someone who's usually nervous in front of the camera and definitely not a natural when it comes to posing, but Heather made me feel so at ease. Her energy is warm, calming, and encouraging -- she truly has the best vibes. We had a phone call before the photo shoot where she talked me through her philosophy and we got to know each other. From the moment we ended that call, I knew I was in such good hands. Heather came prepared with the most beautiful gowns for me to wear, styled me with such care, and guided me into the most flattering and natural poses. And wow -- the photos she captured at sunset are beyond anything I could have dreamed. They're romantic, timeless, and full of emotion. She somehow managed to capture the absolute joy and magic that I feel about this pregnancy. I know I will cherish these photos forever. She's also incredibly easy to work with -- super responsive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She reached out to me within 15 minutes of my inquiry, which was so nice, even though it was before 8 AM!! Heather is so passionate about her work that she finds joy in connecting with new clients and perfecting photos. In fact, she got me sneak peaks of our photoshoot the same night (even though we didn't get home until after 8:30 pm) and the turnaround for the rest of the photos was extremely quick which was so appreciated. I've already booked her for our newborn shoot, and I honestly feel like I've found not just a photographer, but a friend for life. If you're on the fence about doing a maternity shoot or you're nervous like I was, trust me: book Heather. She has a gift for making women feel beautiful and empowered, and her work speaks for itself. Truly one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy!

She has captured the most amazing moments that we would not have pictures of otherwise. Her work is priceless and beautiful! We have her pictures blown up on canvases and in frames all over our house. It has brought a sense of warmth and beauty to our home that no piece or furniture or art could ever. She has been there from the beginning with my family and captured us grow. Having 3 children under the age of 5, it's not easy getting good pictures let alone amazing pictures. She has a way of getting us to be ourselves and capture the special moments. Natasha has a sense of creativity that always amazes us. She spends time discussing ideas themes and props with me. We have never had 2 photo shoots in the same place or theme. I am attaching a few pictures from our most recent shoot.

Yesterday I had my first session with Jessica for a newborn photoshoot with our newly expanded…read morefamily of five. Before booking, I looked through her portfolio and loved her beautiful, classic style--and her pricing felt very reasonable. From the moment we arrived, Jessica made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Parking was easy (a huge relief when you're unloading little ones!), and she was so helpful guiding our kids safely into the studio. Inside, she gave us a quick tour of her setup and clearly explained her vision and plan for our session. Once we started shooting, I was in complete awe. Every photo felt elegant, timeless, and picture-perfect. Jessica checked in with us throughout to make sure we were happy with the poses, family combinations, and overall flow. Even when the kids started growing restless, she knew exactly how to engage them and bring them back into the moment. What stood out most was her genuine care and attention to safety--whether it was helping the kids pose on stools or carefully guiding the newborn when being held by younger siblings. As someone recovering from a C-section, I also appreciated how mindful she was of my comfort, offering breaks whenever needed. Jessica was truly exceptional. If you're looking for family, newborn, or maternity photos, look no further. You'll fall in love not only with the stunning images she creates, but with the experience of working with her. We left with beautiful photographs and a strong desire to return for future sessions.
