Taken by Storm Photography

There are no words to describe how happy I am with our photos that Maggie has taken for us. We did a family shoot a few months ago at the beach and in a matter of 30 minutes Maggie got us materpieces ALL frame worthy that we will cherish always. She was able to really capture our family dynamic and our kids personalities.
This weekend she captured our daughters Bat Mitzvah and the sneak peak that she gave me the pics are SPECTACULAR! She was able capture the standard formal pics beautifully but also captured these special moments behind the scenes that are so precious. She even caught a picture of my daughter who hates smiling and my 102 year old grandma both cracking up which I will treasure forever!
Not only is the quality of Maggies work terrific but having her around is so comfortable and easy that you forget you are being photographed!

Maggie is AMAZING! Having just moved to the area and having a brand new baby I turned to Unilocal to find a photographer to capture the little guy. Maggie was great from the very beginning. She responded to my email inquiry within a couple of hours and explained her style and packages. She even took the time to look at all of the picture inspirations I had pinned on Pinterest. She came to our home to capture our new little family and was wonderful. She walked through our house to find the best lighting and location for photos. She helped sooth our baby when he was fussy, waited patiently while he was fed and changed and was simply a pleasure to be around. She does not rush the process and pays close attention to the little details in every photo. I highly recommend Maggie. You will not be disappointed and you and your child will feel very comfortable with her! Maggie gave us wonderful photos that we will cherish forever… we could not be happier!

One word: AMAZING! I like to think of myself as a lover of photography. More of a historian for my families precious moments. And I would trust no one other than the very talented Maggie Storm. She has captured priceless memories of my daughter’s birthdays (yes, both her one year old birthday and her second birthday party). Maggie is easy to work with on the day of the event. And is quick to get your pictures posted, but without amazing attention to detail and superb quality. If you want to capture some of the best memories for your newborn, maternity or family photos you will want to go to Maggie. She is amazing!

Maggie is your everything photographer. I am so glad I found her. She is a Mom — check! She’s a dog lover — check! She’s on the Westside (but will travel) — check! 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 is great, use her! Not only did she take great photographs but
* she was super accommodating to schedule changes (illness, rain etc)
* Maggie let us choose the location
* Maggie promptly turned around digital prints to use in our holiday card
* She’s great with kids and put ours at ease
All in all, a great Unilocal find!

Maggie Storm is our photographer; what a relief, we don’t have to look, any longer. You too can have the peace of mind knowing that your family, students, boss, whomever, will be captured, beautifully, by a lovely and dynamic human being: Maggie Storm! She’s a pro; great communication, high-​end gear, quick turnaround: she’s the complete package. Oh, and her photos are awesome!

Maggie is an incredible photographer. She falls in love with her subjects and that love fuses with her considerable skill and can’t help but end up permeating the frames she captures. Hire her for your party, wedding or events. When you review her pictures you’ll find yourself in awe of her ability to not only capture an image but the emotion of the moment. I would describe her pictures as something akin to a beautiful tune that sticks with you long after the music has faded.

Great photographer. Makes everyone feel comfortable and delivers gorgeous, personal shots.

We love Maggie! Her work is amazing, so I was really looking forward to her shooting our family pictures. She was even better than expected. Maggie was fun to shoot with and she was great with our 4 month old. She had a sneak peak of like 10 pictures for us the next day and the final slide show within a week. We can’t wait for the next time we do pictures, so we can use her again.

Yes, Maggie Storm is an amazingly gifted photographer. She has an ability to make even the shy little ones to come out of their shells and truly shine. She’s patient, kind and funny. But, the best thing about her is this huge amazing heart that generates warmth beyond belief. She took photos of our fundraising event for children with special needs. She became a friend to so many that day and we continue to get requests for her services. We were able to use many of her photos for our national fundraising literature. We are looking forward to using her at all of our future events!

All I can say is call Taken by Storm. Maggie made my little one shine at the Walt Disney Center. I couldn’t have asked for more. My little one was over due for a nap, Maggie played with her and captured her in way I could not have imagined. I will never go anywhere else. Next shoot Union Station, lets get it on:))

Maggie took engagement pictures of us earlier this year. Not only are they simply stunning photographs, she made my fiancé (notoriously camera shy) comfortable and relaxed. The pictures she took are a true representation of us as a couple. I can’t wait to see the pictures she will take at our wedding!

Maggie Storm is the best wedding photographer I could have hoped for!
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!

Maggie is a very gifted individual. Not only does she do her job well, but it’s completely evident that she has fun in the process. Her creativity and eye for great shots, and keen sense for the real world shines through in her work.
We met when she took our family shots while on a shoot in NY. Our family has had our pictures taken by many a photographer. I have to say that Maggie’s were our favorite. We continue to hear almost 7 months later — «Who took those pictures?» Enough said…

Maggie Is a skilled artist. She was punctual and professional, but fun and friendly. The pictures she took of my two rambunctious boys (who NEVER sit still) truly captured their essence. I was shocked at the beautiful images she produced. My kids actually looked like angels! Maggie is a wonderful candid and portrait family and children’s photographer. A+++++

After years of disasterous attempts to take our own pictures, we booked Maggie to do family photos for our holiday card. We have very active boys (5 and 18 months) who are all over the place! Instead of forcing our kids into posed photos she took the time to let the kids naturally come together. We got some wonderful, natural shots of our kids being who they are. She is wonderful with kids, energetic, and funny. We had a great day and got great photos to use in our card!

Maggie rocks! She is a professional, you will not be disapointed. Her work speaks for itself.

I actually met Maggie at the baby gym where I bring my toddler and we got to chatting. Well, lo and behold, I needed headshots and there she was! I had a fantastic headshot session with Maggie and I 100% recommend her! She was extremely personable and comfortable during the shoot which made me comfortable and put me at ease. And she works until you get the shot you need.
My only recommendation is that you do hire a make-​up artist to keep an eye on your make-​up and hair during the shoot, and that you’ve pre-​screened your clothes beforehand (with your own point-​and-​shoot camera at home) so that you know which colors will pop on you.

Photos for any occasion? Call this woman. She is phenomenal. Her main focus is to capture the natural life that exudes from all of us! Family photos, headshots, live shots, events and parties — every photo she takes becomes an instant treasure.
And, to top it off, she’s mega nice, professional, and efficient. You’ll find yourself referring her to strangers on the street just because you can’t stop raving about how good she is!
