I believe in the beauty of your life.
And I think you might too. As a portrait photographer, I’ll help you hold a magnifying glass up to what’s good and beautiful in your unique life, giving you timeless imagery that helps you hold onto the moments that makes it magical.
It’s the well-worn love you and your spouse have for each other. The thin space of that first week with your new baby. The grace of your growing child’s unbridled joy.
Your newborn’s wrinkly toes.
It’s the little looks as you exchange your vows. The evening kitchen light. The backyard wildflowers. The joy of being together. The joy of being here at all.
I first fell in love with life through my camera.
Growing up, my dad hosted slide viewing parties. Summer trips, meaningful events: twice a year, we’d gather in the living room, dim the lights, and view our life in pictures. These images sliced out moments in time, creating lasting memories. In this, Dad helped us cherish the things that mattered.
After having my first child, I realized how fast it goes. I bought my own camera and, through its lens, fell in love with documenting our life together. At meals or parties and slow Sunday mornings, in the ordinary mess of it all, my camera helps me pay attention to what’s candid and beautiful—to the moments worth preserving. Moments full of grace.
As a photographer, I get to help others find the same. My biggest joy is helping you see how your ordinary life is full of beauty and goodness, and how much that’s worth remembering.

We've had the pleasure of working with Jana a few times for family shoots. She is very flexible and can make golden moments out of anything - even with a very fussy newborn and a wild toddler. She is talented behind the camera to say the least and all her photos turn out beautiful. She is very generous with her time and photos and collaborates with the family to ensure they get something they love from the shoot. On our first family session with Jana she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera - nothing feels awkward or rushed with her!
— Gagan
We had an amazing experience with Jana for our family photoshoot. My daughter was extremely shy, and I felt like we wouldn't get a single picture but Jana was so calm and patient, giving her the space to open up naturally. She never rushed us and still managed to capture so many beautiful moments we didn’t expect. The photos were perfectly edited and delivered quickly. We were so impressed that we hired her again for a larger family session with 15 people, and she handled the chaos with such grace and professionalism. She gave us so many great photos to choose from. I would absolutely recommend her and hire her again in the future!
— Briana
After using several random family photographers over the years we decided to try Jana for a newborn family session. We were first blown away by her fun and comfortable personality which made the experience effortless for us. We have since had her photograph our family 4 more times! My kids now look forward to family photos with her and are excited for the experience. I hope she is in business for decades.

Jana is the perfect blend of talent and warmth! She always makes us feel at ease—even with energetic toddlers in the mix—and still manages to capture the most beautiful, genuine moments. Every photo feels like us, and we’re so grateful for the memories she’s preserved. Her work is truly priceless. We can’t recommend her enough!

“This is the only year they’ll ever be this age,” I tell myself. That’s my reason to slow down, pay attention, and make sure I capture memories of our life together. What’s yours?
