We recently had the pleasure of working with Mid-August who came to our office in Downtown LA to capture professional portraits for our entire staff, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. From the outset, Natalie and her team demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Ray the photographer arrived promptly, he was well-prepared, and created an organized, efficient workflow that made the process smooth for everyone involved. What stood out most was their ability to listen and adapt. Natalie and Ray were very receptive to our vision and specific direction regarding the style and tone of the photos. They took the time to understand what we wanted and executed it perfectly! The final results speak for themselves--everyone in the office is genuinely happy with how their portraits turned out and everybody has gotten very good feedback of how amazing their portraits look. The images are polished, consistent, and simply beautiful. We highly recommend Mid-August to any organization looking for high-quality corporate and/or professional portraits paired with a smooth and wonderful experience. read more

Natalie captured the sweet essence of our family before we became a family of five. She is amazing at capturing the best and sweetest moments, even with our pup in our photos (which you know can be an added challenge). These pictures are truly priceless, and I'm over the moon with these magical captures. I'm already excited for all the milestones our family will experience and to hire Natalie again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend Mid August Photography. read more

We love Natalie! I had gone through a dozen galleries online and eventually reached out to Natalie for a family photoshoot. We had a bad experience with photographer before, so I was a little nervous with the whole process, but she was very trustworthy and it was seamless. Somehow, our 8mo old girl was laughing and happy the entire time, which I'll attribute to Natalie's charm and calming presence. Our cat was also somehow mostly cooperative too. About a week or so later, we received the most beautiful pictures, which are now hanging in our living room and on the wallpaper of my phone and desktop computer. read more

Natalie is AMAZING. I am beyond awkward in photos and somehow seem to look uncomfortable in everything. Natalie is great at catching the right moment while also providing tips and pointers. It's amazing how something so little as hand placement and a slight head tilt can completely change the way a photo looks and feels. She knows exactly what works and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Natalie is also amazing at candids, a foreign concept to me until Natalie was behind the lens. read more

We are so happy we had Natalie take our engagement photos. My fiancé and I are super awkward and don't enjoy having the spotlight on us so we were very relieved with how comfortable Natalie made us feel. She made us laugh and got us to loosen up so she could really capture how we are naturally. Natalie's experience being in front of the lens as a model, along with her creative eye, is really unique and makes her an outstanding photographer. She knows how to direct and position you to get the most flattering photos. We looked the best we have ever looked! When I got the photos back (that same weekend, might I add) I could not stop crying. They are UNREAL! I have incredibly high standards and Natalie blew me away and produced better photos than I could have ever imagined. I will trust no one else for my wedding photos, family photos, or any other occasion in the future. Don't waste your time looking for any other photographer in the South Bay or LA... trust me I have done my research and there is no one better than Natalie!!! read more

Natalie was amazing to work with. She did an incredible job capturing photos of our 6 month old and making the whole family feel comfortable during the shoot.

Her work is clean and tasteful and she went above and beyond to capture our precious moments. I also appreciate her punctuality and professionalism. Ty Natalie! read more

Natalie definitely has the eye to capture not just a look, but a feeling! She truly honed in on the precious moments unfolding between me and my daughter, and captured that perfectly unposed raw moment. My daughter is 3, so capturing a toddler can be a challenge, but with her instinctive passion for the right moment, she captured dozens of timeless shots, all while making the shoot feel more like a play day rather than a photo shoot. Shes quick, which again with a toddler is KEY and she really makes you feel comfortable and like a model yourself!! I have now had the pleasure of being her subject twice, and can not wait to book her again and again!! To say I'm obsessed with my photos is an understatement!! Natalie is TRUE TALENT!!!! read more

Cannot give enough praise about Natalie! She made taking photos extremely easily & painless, even with a fussy baby and was so flexible to work with from beginning to end.
