Wow Wow Wow. Heather is truly a master at her craft and such a warm and kindhearted person. It was…read moretruly such an honor to work with her from our engagement photoshoot to the day of our wedding. Background: On August 10, 2019 at Mount Shasta Resort, Heather and her team captured every essence of the best day of our lives. We had a lot of moving parts from the bipolar weather shifting from rainy to clear blue skies to densely packed program of our reception to managing photos with 230 guests. Yet, through it all, she managed to maintain her composure and had fun with us through it all. Style: Heather did a phenomenal job of capturing us and our goofiness as well as our gushy love and affection for each other. In addition, she was able to capture the traditional photos with family members and such. Process: She's great at communicating throughout the entire process. I never once felt like I wasn't in the loop. I HIGHLY recommend having Heather serve as the photographer for any event. She's got an impeccable eye for capturing all the right shots! We're absolutely ecstatic about our photos!

I have never in my life been so pleased with any service as I was with Heather Armstrong's…read morephotography at my wedding. Heather is the best sort of artist--the artist who creates for love of both the act of creating and the subject. Though I dabble in photography myself, I am admittedly not photogenic. Heather took the best photographs I have ever seen of myself, and made me feel profoundly comfortable all the while. Though Heather is based out of Redding, California, she was willing to travel to our wedding in Southern California. I have many friends who have spent far more on wedding photography than my wife and I did and in my opinion, our photographs are the best I have seen. You will not regret choosing Heather for your wedding, or for family or senior portraits. Check out her website, and particularly her constantly updated blog to get a taste of what an excellent photographer she is.

Before the shoot, I was super nervous - I'd never met Jamie & I was going to be wearing lingerie in front of a camera... what did I get myself into?! However, once I arrived at her studio & talked with her, I felt so comfortable. It wasn't awkward & I am kind of awkward lol. She helped me understand certain poses and was encouraging throughout it. She also helped me pick out what to wear, that would look the best with her different studio sets. I felt so relaxed because of how she talked me thru everything. She followed up after sharing the photos with me & was very helpful during that process as well. Even thou I got them as an anniversary gift for my husband, I feel like it was also for me as it boosted my self-esteem. I usually don't like the way I look in photos, but she was able to capture my beauty in a way that made me feel confident & sexy, just the way I am. The quality of her work is stunning. She knows how to work with angles, light & shadow to flatter you. She is so creative. Now my husband & I have a cherished gift & we couldn't be more happy with the photos.

Actually, I'm pretty sure she also travels, so definitely contact her for details. I really can't say enough positive things about the business owner / photographer, Lisa. She is super sweet! Her friendliness, professionalism, and expertise set the tone for a relaxed vibe during the shoot. Her confidence leaves no doubt in her ability to deliver. She allowed baby to be himself, just playing & laughing while her goal was to capture those cherished moments. The entire process was so perfect for what we wanted as well as our timeframe (due to my lovely procrastination, hah). Our images were delivered in a timely manner, and there's no dealing with all the silly restrictions like using only certain print shops, or purchasing digital images separately, blah blah, etc etc. Love having the freedom to do whatever we want with our baby's pictures!! We would definitely book with Modern Image Photography again, and encourage others to trust in Lisa to produce quality images to treasure for a lifetime.

Without fail, Diana has somehow managed to capture such beautiful moments of our family time and again. Our family photos will be treasured for years to come.
