A La Mode Photo / Heather Hart Testimoniels

Without reservation, I would recommend Heather Hart for maternity photography. I always knew I wanted to have professional maternity photos - but these surpassed anything I could have imagined. Heather has it all - natural talent, years of experience, vision, creativity, passion, focus, patience, flexibility, the right equipment, clothes that will make you look beautiful and a true artist's eye to capture the magic of the moment. You are in great hands with Heather behind the lens. Her online galleries are just a tiny glimpse of what she does for her clients!! It takes so much more than just the click of camera. From the initial contact, it's clear Heather is the consummate professional - she is responsive, direct and organized coordinating your photo shoot and works with your budget honestly. On the day of the shoot, she provides all kinds of wardrobe changes to suit your body - and because of her years of experience, she knows how make you look great. Also because of her experience, she is intimately familiar with her locations which allows her to shoot the lighting, timing and environment with expertise. This fluency is invaluable for any location shoot (infinitely more beautiful than studio photography). Then, as she takes your pictures, she gives you art direction and feedback to capture the best images. This is ideal for anyone who might be camera shy, like me. She brought out the best in me and my joy really came through. I felt like a goddess and the most beautiful being in the world in those moments. On a personal note, Heather truly shares of herself with her clients. She is a gentle, deep soul who loves what she does and holds nothing back to give her clients amazing pictures and a terrific experience all around. She helped us capture priceless memories and emotions. Even though it's her line of work to photograph people all the time, I never felt like just another client - every interaction was special and beautiful. And, of course, it does come down to the results: our photos were simply magical! Seriously, too many stunning shots to count!!! Our album took my breath away and will be cherished even more as the years pass. If you're looking for a maternity photographer, look no further. If you're not looking for one, you should be looking for Heather and A La Mode Photography - you'll be so glad you did! Thank you, Heather, for a wonderful experience and precious images. We can't wait to take baby photos!

Awesome photo session with perfect results! Ms. Heather is nothing less than outstanding!!! I contacted her because I wanted to have memories of my pregnancy days and contacting her was the best thing I did! Despite the long drive (approx 4hours) and my tiring look (that I knew I had due to the drive) she motivated me; made me look stunning in a matter of minutes; she took her time during the session; and treated me like a princess. She is a professional, caring person and I feel very blessed that she was the person who captured my memories. The pictures and the entire experience was outstanding (the best I ever had)! Anyone interested please do not hesitate, I recommend Ms. Heather to anyone! Thank you Heather for such a lovely experience; I will be coming back to see you with my baby! :o)

Absolutely STUNNING photographs!!! Heather is simply the BEST. From the first phone call I made to Heather, to seeing my pictures, she was accommodating, professional, energetic, and truly made my husband and I feel comfortable. Heather did a "Belly Photo Shoot" with us in Santa Monica. It was fun, easy, and organized. My husband actually enjoyed posing for the camera thanks to Heather. Once we saw our photographs we were beyond impressed. Her work speaks for itself... true art!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Heather!!!!!

Heather is the real deal! I first met Heather at my belly shoot in Malibu, and what a wonderful experience that was! She has a gift for making you feel absolutely beautiful! I am so happy and grateful that she captured that precious moment for me and my husband. We were so impressed with the photos, and with her that we decided to see her again for our son's first photos. Heather is so relaxed and fun to be with, that the photo shoot feels effortless, and this comes through in the photos. She is somehow able to capture the happiness and joy that you feel inside. We are so happy with our family photos; they are amazing! Heather is officially our family photographer! Thank you Heather!!

Kelly ‎ - Jun 13, 2011 Heather is an amazingly talented photographer!!! You will absolutely love her and the beautiful photos that she takes!! I do not consider myself to be very photogenic (especially not at 8 months pregnant), so I went into the photo shoot hoping to get a few decent pictures... however, ALL of the photos turned out so beautiful!! There are so many fantastic shots that now I am having a very difficult time deciding which ones to print and frame!! Heather is so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful, which really comes through in the pictures! We did our pregnancy/ belly photo shoot on the beach in Malibu with myself, my husband, and our rambuctious 80 lb yellow lab ... I thought trying to include our pet into the shoot might be stressful but Heather was so patient ... photographer!!! You will absolutely love her and the beautiful photos that she takes!!

I am really looking forward to our next photo shoot with her after our baby is born!

Heather Hart's photography and expertise are unparalleled. I have been a client of her's for 3 and half years. It is because of her, I have the most treasured pictures of my son and two beloved dogs. She has the uncanny ability to put everyone at ease and get the most incredible pictures you have ever seen. True pieces of art. Anyone lucky enough to have photography by her will have a gift for generations. She is always available, and will bend over backwards to make sure you get the shot of your dreams. Kimberly LaBonte - Santa Monica CA

Your work is heroic! That's why people call you - it's not about a logo, or even your business name - it's about the images! More than that, it's the chord you strike in their hearts when people see your photos. That's why I called YOU! :) Meggan Webber - Oak Park, CA

Adrian and I love the pictures, as a matter of fact, I can't stay out of the baby's room from looking at the large one that we hung on the wall.

I feel like we've been together for several days now because I've been looking at your images almost constantly (nothing creepy - we're editing your story for our show) ... it looks great.. I think you'll be pleased. As we discussed, we're going to use your photos exclusively in the story and for the series animation (the thing that we run out of the commercial that lets viewers know that it's time for the special series)...only Heather Hart masterpieces!

I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how much I LOVE my pregnancy photographs.. You got them here just in time for my baby shower this weekend, and since you helped me purchase the frames ahead of time, I framed them and they were a definite hit at the party. Really...the backdrop of the beach at sunset was so beautiful, the shoot itself was more than comfortable and you really got some amazing pictures of this special time in my life. I think this was the first time I could see for myself that “glow” that everyone else says they can see. Stacey Walker King, Sherman Oaks, CA
