    Laura is not just a great photographer with an ability to turn her work into great pieces of art, but she's also someone who puts your child's comfort first. Laura makes sure the conditions at her studio are set up perfectly to ensure your child's comfort for the duration of the session. The temperature, the lighting along with the white noise machine, playing in the background, are set up to accommodate your little one's comfort and put them in a sleepy mood to achieve the best pictures possible without disturbing their peace. Speaking of perfect, Laura is nothing short from a perfectionist, and when it comes to your children you won't expect anything but perfection. She will give you just that with her photo session. My spouse and I could not be more satisfied and happier with the result. Laura Jane Studios will give you great, professional service and will leave you with pictures of your precious baby to admire for years to come.

    2015 baby vs 2017 baby.  Truly sisters
    Jane C.

    Being a (mostly frazzled but let's just say) busy mother of two, I'm writing this review in the dark while my children are asleep. Let's hope they stay snoozing, so I can finally post this review. Truly belated, considering that we booked Laura FOUR times, twice in 2015, then 2017, and once more in 2018. Laura is absolutely the best, truly gifted. With newborn photography, it's not just point and snap snap snap. There's a lot more that goes with it, and somehow Laura does it and then some. Just scroll through the photos here, her website, or other social media. The images just speak for themselves. The sweetest snooze, that dream smile and silly smirk. She photographed my baby's personality even before I knew what it was. Here's the thing though, Laura herself is the gem. She's so easy to communicate with, and she really helps prepare you and the baby for the shoot. She's flexible in scheduling, and really puts the effort to get to know you better. It reflects in her photos. She has an array of blankets, wraps, vintage bowls and crates, and then the cutest little hats and hair accessories. Everything perfectly fuzzy and dreamy. Nothing obnoxious. She has that eye for what works for the baby, and what will make you happy. A little history here, I've booked her initially for a newborn session for my first. It was back in 2015, and she captured amazing shots of my baby girl. Being first time parents, my husband and I were actually unsure once the baby was born,.. do we really pack her up and take her to be photographed? Is this going to be worth it? Here's the thing, we came in & handed over the barely born baby. We saw such gentle care given, them with some photos of the baby taken, Laura worked on our family shots. We were excused, so decided to rest a bit in the other room. We then had the most wonderful nap ever. Only interrupted that the session was nearly done and if we had any additional requests. I mean, how awesome is that? We absolutely loved our custom images, added extras and bought out the gallery. Then booked a followup session, where Baby would be awake & mostly sitting. Okay, we loved the custom images, added some extras and bought out the gallery. So it was no hard decision to book Laura again for our second. Actually, Laura may or may not have been one of the first people I shared the news of our pregnancy. So again, we handed over our infant and had the best naps ever. Loved the custom images, added extras, and bought out the gallery. And we just recently had followup photos taken. Loved the custom images, and you guessed it. Added extras and bought out the gallery. Apparently I've hit an epic length with review writing so I'll end it here. If you've found yourself pregnant, consider Laura as your newborn photographer. You won't regret it, and these photos will be part of your child's legacy.

    Laura is amazing! We are glad we found her on yelp. Our baby boy was born November 4, 2020 and we didn't really think about having a newborn shoot until a week after he was born. We were scared because of COVID but we didn't want to miss the opportunity to get our sweet boy photographed as a newborn. Laura was very responsive and was even able to squeeze us in her schedule. We had our photoshoot on November 19. She answered all our questions RE COVID beforehand and she has made so many changes in her studio to make sure it is safe. It was so easy communicating and working with her before, during and after the shoot. I would recommend Laura for your precious newborn photos. Our photos came out beautifully. Extremely happy.

    Laura Jane is amazing. She went above and beyond with our little, who is our rainbow baby. She even made our BBG two special headbands and special props, her daughter even made us one! Laura is extremely talented and good at what she does. Thank you Laura!

    Is there no 6 star option?? When my little man was five days old someone asked me, "You're sending out birth announcements, right?" Seeing as this is my first baby, my initial reaction was, "Um, WHAT? That's a thing?!?" This set in motion a panicked search to find a baby photographer who could fit us in at the last minute--the best time to shoot newborns is in the first couple weeks and most [prepared] women book their sessions while they are still pregnant so I was really worried that I'd have to settle for some "Glamour Shots" place at the mall. Laura Jane was fully booked that week (of course), but she gave me some very good advice about picking a photographer and even offered some recommendations--this was very nice of her to spend time to do considering I was not a client. I continued my quest to find another photographer but even after hours of searching none compared to the photos I had seen on Laura Jane's website... I really didn't want to settle so I stayed in contact with Laura Jane that following week JUST in case she had a cancellation--after all, babies aren't always born on time! Knowing how badly I wanted to get a session with her, she followed up with me diligently every day to give me updates on her schedule and sure enough, she was able to squeeze me in!!! I want to say I got lucky, but I think it was just another example of Laura Jane going above and beyond to help another client. Needless to say, the session couldn't have gone better, the pictures turned out amazing, and I will definitely be back for baby #2. We used one of Laura Jane's photos for a company newsletter that went out to 8000+ industry contacts announcing Liam as the "Newest Addition to the Loyalkaspar Family" and most of the replies we got were just to compliment the picture! Thanks Laura Jane!

    One of the amazing shots from our shoot!

    They really do deserve a higher rating if that were an option :) From the moment we requested info about the newborn photography sessions/pricing they have been responsive, professional and - most of all - genuinely caring!! Laura responded promptly to our request for information even during the busy holidays and provided us with detailed information on the various packages and options available. She was patient with us as we went back and forth on which photo options would be best to capture our first baby pictures while fitting in our budget. The scheduling flexibility she offered was amazing as she requested we text her when the baby was coming and she fit us in five days later. At first I was nervous about taking our newborn out so young as opposed to an in-home photographer but discovered it was well worth the trip!! They heat the studio to very comfortable temperature for babies in their "birthday suits", successfully keeping them sleepy which absolutely made for the most amazing shots. Additionally, the studio is stocked with hundreds of selections of "props" which the stylist uses to match the decor of your house and the skin tone of your baby. These props are not the kind you would find in a mall photo studio so don't even ask for those cheesy things. Check out their portfolio to see what I'm talking about. Very classy stuff. The stylist and photographer work together amazingly to get the best shots of your little one. Finally, the editing was not something I would have given any thought to until I saw what they can do. Our baby had jaundice and extremely purple extremities when we brought her in, in addition to a nasty scratch on her nose. Well, I couldn't believe what they did with color correction and were able to remove antrace of the scratch!!!! They did some other neat photo magic that made this purchase well worth every penny! Highly recommend this studio to capture your newborns in all their glory!!

    The labor and delivery was everything I didn't want, starting from the hospital being full (had to go to one I didn't like), the medications I was hoping to avoid, to the surgery that left me weak and drained. The saving grace was having such a sweet and healthy daughter. After leaving the hospital, I still needed to heal -- mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually-- and surprisingly enough one of the best things we did as a new family was a newborn photo session with Laura Jane Studios when the baby was 7 days old. Not only did our baby pose for some gorgeously artistic memories of herself, but the parents got some much needed rest in front of a TV in their waiting/living room, while the photographer and her stylist/baby whisperer did their magic in the studio. The most surprising thing: I mentioned we'd only do a family portrait if there was time -- I felt so un-photogenic, we didn't bring the right clothes, etc. Laura had us do many different family versions at the end. The resulting photos were unbelievable. She showed us who we are as a new, loving family. Thank you, Laura Jane!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of having Erin as our wedding photographer for our May 2024…read morewedding and we couldn't recommend her enough! Erin was incredibly detailed and thorough during the planning process, and helped guide us step by step to ensure she had the timeline and shot list so that she could work her magic on the big day. While visiting the venue with us prior to our wedding date, she was incredibly mindful of all the aspects that help us capture the best possible photos. She even visited once more on her own to confirm the lighting at the exact time of our wedding! On the wedding day itself, Erin was very prepared and leveraged the timeline and shot list to make the most of her time with us. She did an excellent job of managing the timeline while ensuring that as a couple we had the freedom to experience the day as we most liked without feeling restricted. Like most brides, I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day, but I definitely feel like having Erin accompanying us and guiding us throughout the photography really helped me feel at ease and honestly made my wedding day even better. We had multiple guests comment at how organized and pleasant she was to work with. She has an incredibly comforting presence :) We worked with both her and her teammate Adam on the day of the wedding to ensure we could get plenty of photos of both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids. Adam was such a pleasure to work with as well! He put in so much effort to get us the best possible shots and I can't say enough how much I appreciate his hard work tossing my veil up and then hearing his footsteps as he ran out of the shot, so he could act as the "wind" in my veil for our various shots! We received an incredibly comprehensive first look of photos about a month after, then received our full gallery 4 months later. It's a bit hard to explain but she did an amazing job at really capturing the energy of the day and the heartfelt emotions that my husband and I experienced throughout the day. The photos feel incredibly natural and vivid. The wedding day goes by in what feels like an instant and I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful set of wedding photos to treasure for the rest of my life.

But, is also so warm, caring, and positive. Erin truly wants what is best for the bride and groom; she scheduled a day for the three of us to tour the venue together! She did this so she knew ahead of time where the best shots would be taken and at what times would be best. She is highly detailed and thinks of every possible shot and wants feedback from the bride and groom in terms of what will make their wedding photos special and personalized. It is so rare to find a vendor that truly has the best interest of the bride and groom in mind. We are so incredibly happy with the photos that Erin took at our wedding. They are so beautiful, that our friends and family literally gasped when they saw them!

    Posting a follow-up as I've received direct messages from random Yelpers over the past few months…read morestating they had similar frustrations as me or asking about my concluding experience. After continued attempts to get a hold of Angela via phone and emails, I finally tried TEXTING Angela in November. I was happy to see a text response from her! but then baffled when I read her message. I've attempted to post screenshots of the text exchange but it appears only a portion is posting. In summary, Angela stated she felt she was harassed by me and would not respond to my bullying tactics. Again, I was dumbfounded. Ultimately, she refused to return our $100 deposit and went silent on us again. In hindsight, I should have noticed that most of the Yelp reviews are over a year old. I don't see any recent reviews which should have been a red flag. I hope Angela is able to improve her operations and customer experience as she is clearly talented at taking beautiful photos.

For the newborn photoshoot, we spent the full four hours in Angela's studio, which allowed me, a first time mom, to really enjoy the process. Angela took great care of us every step of the way, from making sure the baby is comfortable during the naked baby pictures, to making sure mom and dad look ready and stress-free for the family pictures. I'm extremely happy with how the pictures turned out and the grandparents are so in love with all the pictures. If you're on the fence about doing a newborn photoshoot, please do it and go with Angela!

I'm so grateful to have these memories captured and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer.

    This was my fourth photoshoot with Oxana Alex Photography since 2016, and my only regret is not…read moredoing them more often! Oxana Alex's photos are my absolute best pictures and the warmest memories I will cherish for a lifetime. The Session & Atmosphere This time, we had a maternity photoshoot at 30 weeks. I am currently pregnant with our third child. We took photos of just me, and also with my husband and children. The session took place in late October 2025 and it went simply wonderfully. Oxana is the most gentle, caring, and patient person; she creates a beautiful atmosphere on set. Hair and Makeup Oxana had an incredible makeup artist who works for various brands, but mainly has been a makeup artist for the House of Dior for many years. I had the pleasure of having my hair and makeup done by her. It was stress-free, all on time, and the hair and makeup were simply stunning. Why Oxana Alex is the Best While deciding on my concepts, I looked through the portfolios of all the photographers in LA and can confidently say that Oxana's work is the best. Oxana and her studio have undeniable advantages: 1. Unmatched Professionalism and Lighting The key to a beautiful photograph is the lighting setup. I don't know how she does it, but all her photographs, even before editing, look absolutely perfect! This speaks volumes about her skill, technique, and camera equipment. 2. Extensive Premium Wardrobe Oxana has a huge wardrobe of premium items that she offers to clients for their shoots. You can be sure to find jewelry and looks for any creative idea, and it will look cool and stylish. The most difficult part for me was coordinating outfits for my family of four without a stylist: finding, ordering and trying on. I was so happy that I didn't have to put together my own outfit at all! I only bought underwear and one white blouse for myself. That's it! Everything else was provided by Oxana and fit perfectly. I also didn't want bulky dresses, as I feel they are going out of style; I wanted to be a stylish pregnant mom with more of a fashion focus. Thanks to her extensive wardrobe, we were able to achieve this as well as beautiful maternity gowns. 3. Professional Eye and Industry Experience With over 10 years in the industry, mostly shooting major bloggers and celebrities for covers, Oxana has a huge aesthetic background and an incredible sense of taste. She helps with posing and facial expressions. Even if you are not a professional model, it's impossible not to become one through her lens. 4. Unique Photo Delivery Policy The fact that she gives you all the successful, unedited photos is truly unique for Los Angeles. You only have to choose which of the many great photos you want edited. When I sent the unedited pictures to my relatives for help choosing, they didn't understand why they even needed editing?! That's how good the originals turned out! Again, this is due to the perfectly set lighting, her technique, and her professionalism. I could go on and on describing the process and how much we all, including my husband and children, enjoyed working with Oxana yet again. But I'll just say one thing: We are already planning to return for a mommy-and-me session! And this time, we won't miss a single milestone of our fifth family member. Thank you dear Oxana
