2nd Chakra Studio

The last time we got glammed up for photos was for our wedding. Fast forward 11 years later, we decided it was time to document our next biggest milestone– we’re finally having a baby! Alanna took our Maternity photos to show off our baby bump! She made the whole photo shoot experience fun and effortless! She gave us just the right amount of direction and made both my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. She even helped select a great outdoor location. We’re thoroughly happy with the photos and ordered several prints to share with family and friends! Alanna is truly a talented photographer with a keen artistic eye!

I worked with 2^nd Chakra Studios on a business project and could not have been more pleased. prior to working with Alaana, i worked with another photographer in LA who claimed to do celebrities and didn’t after spending hundreds, i only got rushed through an emotionless head shot because i couldn’t relax through the session as she kept pointing out the time. Alaana truly cares about getting the right picture and takes more than the time needed to capture the most beautiful and natural shot. i loved working with her, she has a great personality as well with contributes greatly to a fun session and i would keep working with he on future projects when the time comes. thank you Alaana.

Having never gotten professional photos before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I am very pleased to say that I wound up having such a fun & easy experience with Alanna, not to mention getting amazingly beautiful photos back! Alanna is a true professional with a warm & friendly demeanor and a great eye for what works. Next time I’m in need of photos (or if anyone I know is), I’ll be sure to send them to her!

Excellent photographer. She has shot at our photography studio on multiple occasion. Alanna has an amazing calm attitude and a great attention to detail.

I loved loved shooting with Alanna. We had a blast. And the pics turned out fantastic! See has a great eye! If you are looking to add amazing pictures to your book, I strongly suggest shooting with Alanna. oxox

Like most people, i find it difficult to enjoy photos of myself. I see so many flaws. But after spending a session with Alanna I am completely at ease. It’s more than technique. Alanna has a way of pulling out your best. Maybe it’s because it’s so easy to work with her. Or maybe it’s the way she see’s you. Whatever it is, she’s a tremendous photographer with a great eye and a calming professional manner.

Alana took all my headshots for my new website AND shot my videos. I was absolutely over the moon with the way everything turned out. The quality of the photos and videos are top notch. Even better, Alana has an amazing way of bringing the best out of me. Her presence, the way she engaged with me and how comfortable she made me feel was just as vital to the shoot as the lighting and the camera. Alana is a truly gifted photographer and an incredible person. I recommend her to everyone!

Alanna did family photos for my Christmas cards in 2010. She captured beautiful pictures of my daughter and us as a family that I will treasure for life. She has a very warm heart that allows you to be your best self in front of the camera, she is also very professional and talented in her craft.
I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for the best.

Alanna is a genius! I’ve seen people gasp and get all teary eyed when they see her results for the first time: «OMG, I never knew I could look that good!» is the typical reaction. She can make the average that we all are into the special we all want to be.
Being a photographer is not just about having a camera or knowing Photoshop, as any of us who have tried will attest. Alanna speaks photography, she makes the camera sing. Together they have this weird little dance going on, and together they tease out your inner supermodel.
Alanna has a way of bringing the best out in you while the dance is going on. She engages you with warmth, enthusiasm and vitality; with her you somehow believe you’re much prettier than you ever did before — you know something special is going to happen, and the inevitable result is that it does!
Last point, very important — Alanna is not the all too common «artistic flake»; she’s reliable, consistent, and on time!
Highly recommended!

I hired Alanna for a day shoot and it was a fantastic experience. She is talented, made the shooting experience fun and I loved the final product. Thank you SOOOO much for all the work you do and sharing your gifts.

Incredibly talented, professional and driven, Alanna with 2ndChakraStudio is passion expressed in art. No matter what the project, Alanna goes above and beyond the standard frame and gets the job done well.
The post production is incredible in that there is little changed to keep the real life quality alive. Alanna’s work is really photo therapy. Can’t say enough how driven she is at what she does. I don’t think there is a shoot that 2ndChakraStudio can’t accentuate. I am eager to see the world experience this art.
