We had an initial zoom call with Julianne to decide if the vibes…read moreseemed right, and she was very chill, yet we felt her confidence and knowledge about the work that she does, which led us to feel confident in choosing her. We had an engagement shoot which was a nice "trial" if you will, before our wedding. As most people are, my husband and I were nervous about being awkward or not knowing what to do. Julianne's cues made us feel comfortable and have fun which led to the most beautiful and natural photos. For our actual wedding day, she was really good at listening to the things that were important to me completely- while also adding in her own expertise which created the perfect photo experience. Julianne came early to scan our space to get a feel of the best places to shoot, she was smart, quick and at the same time "out of the way". I feel like I barely saw her throughout the day/evening- but upon return of our photos she was definitely there. She covered so many amazing moments that I wouldn't have gotten to witness without her eye. She's a professional, great communication, on time, honors her words/contracts, and is super pleasant to be around. We hope to work with her again in the future!

She was very professional, even arranged a meeting ahead of time to familiarize herself with the studio we were shooting in. On the day of the photo shoot she arrived on time with an assistant and even had some props of her own. There are 10 of us so it is pretty hectic, but she was able to keep a fast pace while creating beautiful pictures and staying very calm. We had several different themes and she was able to easily transition from one to the other. We are starting to receive the edited pictures now and they are beautiful. I will definitely be using her in the future.

She's professional - check! She's skilled - check! And, last but not least, she has that magic...that knack...that special language and special way with kids... check check check check check!!! I first met Maggie through some LivingSocial, Groupon, something deal. The price was reasonable and Maggie made everything so easy and smooth. We easily arranged our meeting place, time and date, and she's quick to respond to questions (i.e., ideas for location, clothing, etc). She's great with getting proofs and turnaround time. Once you take photos with her, you just feel at ease. She's a total pro and truly knows her job. (Read: she doesn't do awkward poses or say, "smile"). She's also warm and allows your true self to come through in photos. We've now worked with her THREE times - yes, she's that sweet and awesome. My favorite photos are of our 3 kids. I'll have to post one here so you can have an idea of her work...just priceless and timeless. Thanks, Maggie and Taken by Storm Photography!

Maggie Storm is the best wedding photographer I could have hoped for!…read more She and her assistant were so friendly and funny, they put us all at ease, even though as the bride I was nervous. They had creative and natural poses, and took into account that my wedding was 1930's themed and did some specific vintage shots. When I saw the photos, I was simply amazed! Her usage of lighting and artistic skill of capturing special moments made every picture a good one. Everyone looked fantastic! I seriously don't know how I am going to choose the pictures for my album, because they are ALL so great. I am recommending her to all of my family and friends for any special occasion or family portraits Thank you Maggie for capturing my special day with such feeling and elegance!

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!

I had Leona and her camera over for my husbands' family reunion! A first with a professional…read morephotographer. From the start, Leona communicated very well via email/phone prior to the event with the expectations, logistics/visions/ ect. Very positive energy and aura. She listened to "my vision" of what they day was going to be like....a little hectic and chaotic with SO many relatives in town for the event....but she took on the challenge and came with her game face & camera around her neck (with a smile & Smarties for the kids). She was very easy and relaxed which made the day that much easier!!! I didn't want the event to be overshadowed with a photographer "snapping photos in their face" or bothering those family members who were trying to visit.....we were going for casual and unobtrusive. Leona was not only friendly but very professional. She took casual photos as well as candids. She was very under the radar unless we asked her to snap certain must have moments/photos!! THe ironic thing is, I had just been to a wedding that my 2 yr old daughter was in the day before and THAT OTHER photographer actually "snapped" at her for stepping on the wedding dress.....AND had my little one was in tears and not wanting to take pictures because she was now afraid of him and quipped at her! He did not know how to pose her in pictures considering her small height...there were posts from the bridge blocking my daughter from being in most of the pics.!! REALLY??? THAT photographer obviously did not know how to work with young children NOT THE CASE with Leona!!!! The children at the reunion gravitated to Leona and her lens and she was able to capture their attention....make them silly and giglle and HAVE fun! Anyone who can do that to the 5yr and under crowd (with no tears just smiles)--gets 5 stars as well!!! Leona utilized the grounds, scenery and different background of nature to create the most beautiful pictures......of our BIG family. We could not be more happy about ALL the pictures taken of 4 generations of family. Everyone LOVES the photos!!!! She will be our photographer for a long time......an will recommend her to all our friends as well!! Anastasia Castro Valley, CA

I didn't hire Leona to take photos for me but a friend of mine had some taken for a website I helped her create and my friend told me about the great experience she had shooting with Leona. I worked with Leona on getting the photos they took properly formatted for the site, including making some requests to have photos taken in a certain way so they would best fit on the site. Leona gets the photos she takes to her clients quickly and without issue. I can confidently recommend Leona's photography services both to those wanting great photos of themselves, their loved ones, or their families and to webmasters looking for photographers to take photos for websites they are developing.
