Rachel took family photos of my 4 year old son, husband and me and did an absolutely amazing job!…read moreShe was able to engage my 4 year old and somehow get him to look at that camera and smile with a real smile and not his weird posed for the camera smile - I don't know how she does it, but she has some magic. My son had so much fun during the session and the photos prove it - he still asks about Rachel. From the parents' perspective, the session was great and stress free too - corralling a kid for photos can be stressful (based on past experience), but we didn't feel that way at all and everything felt natural and was easy. We are so happy with our photos and can't wait for Rachel to continue to document our family for years to come.

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!

There is a reason why Kate Haus Photography has 5 stars…read more I needed to take Professional portraits done for work. My colleague suggested we use Kate. She was very accommodating, and very pleasant. I was late for our session and she couldn't be more understanding. She waited while I changed and hair and makeup done. She made me feel very comfortable while taking the pictures - I swear I felt like a million bucks. We did few outfit changes and took pictures with various backgrounds. Again she took the pictures with a smile on her face. I'm super excited we found her and had her take my pictures. I can't wait to see them. So do you're self a favor use Kate Haus Photography, you'll thank me for recommending

She has the skill and talent to take beautiful pictures with the patience to handle two toddlers. It was important to us that she captured the personalities of each child and we feel she did more than that.

We are so happy that she was part of our lives to capture this chapter of life.

Tatiana is amazing! I had a beach photoshoot and was very specific in the type of makeup look and…read morehair I wanted. I provided photos to show what I was going for. Tatiana listened to me and made my look better than the photos I provided! I asked for a natural, glowing skin look with beach wave hair. My face was glowing and at the last minute we decided to add a braid to my hair to see if I liked. And I LOVED it!!! And she told me that I could take out the braid at the end of the shoot and I could have a messy wavy look so I'd have 2 hair looks instead of one! You definitely know she has a lot of experience with photoshoots, commercial, weddings etc because she knows how to do your makeup and hair to get the most out of it. I didn't even think I could have two different looks if I took down the braid. Her studio is in Santa Monica but since I was very close to it, she came to my house without an additional cost. She's also very prompt with her communication. Since my shoot was very far away (in Laguna Beach), I was afraid my makeup and hair wouldn't last because I wouldn't have Tatiana with me on location. But it lasted through 1.5 hrs in traffic and 1.5 hrs of shooting in the sun! I ended up wearing my hair and makeup through the whole day after the photoshoot because it looked so good. I haven't had to use powder or reapply anything. My lipstick was gone but that's because I went out to eat after the shoot. She is VERY meticulous! She wants you to be perfect. She will periodically ask you to look to see if you like it or if you want to change something. I would recommend Tatiana to anyone! You will love her!

I don't even know where to begin because Tatiana is just wonderful. My husband and I decided to…read moreelope so I decided to go with Tatiana. She did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I don't wear a lot of makeup usually and she made sure to keep my makeup natural and light. She's so personable and friendly. I felt like I knew her forever.

My husband and I booked Heather for what was supposed to be an August 2020 wedding. Well, yadda…read moreyadda yadda, things didn't quite go to plan. Heather was so beyond flexible and accommodating with us as our date changed and changed again, and hung on with us until 2022 when we finally were able to have our special day on April 9th. Just to reiterate, we booked her in SUMMER OF 2019. That is true dedication. I know many other "COVID brides" who struggled with coordinating date changes with vendors, so I am so thankful that Heather always made it work for us and kept a positive attitude about everything. As far as her actual work, Heather made us feel so comfortable both during our engagement shoot and the wedding (we are shy, nerdy people who are not comfortable in front of a camera). She is friendly, very easy to talk to, and guided us perfectly as we awkwardly walked while holding hands, stared into each others' eyes and attempted to hug like human beings. She kept family photos moving along, got all the shots we needed, and had a great vision for the whole day. The photos so exceeded my expectations, and I was over the moon when I saw the final album. Thank you Heather for sticking with us and documenting the most fun and special day.

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
