Authentic family portraits that celebrate love, play and connection.
Lifestyle family photography in Austin, TX.
I believe every family has a story worth telling. Are you looking for a photography experience where your family feels completely at ease—free to laugh, play, and simply be themselves? This is what I do! I create heartfelt portraits that go beyond the surface, capturing the real connections and joyful chaos that make each family unique. I believe your memories deserve more than a spot on your phone—they deserve to live on your walls and in albums that become part of your family’s legacy. With every click, I'm preserving fleeting moments that will one day be the most treasured stories your family tells.
Did you blink and now they’re 2 or 5 or 10? Or in my case 21???
Time machines haven’t been invented, YET, but the next best thing is looking back on the joyful and meaningful childhood portraits you had created of your kids, and it will take you right back to the good ol’ days.
Have you been thinking of getting some portraits of your kids before they get even bigger, but…
The thought of 1) finding a photographer that tells your unique family story, 2) making your active kids sit still and say “cheese”, or 3) getting everyone perfectly matching outfits sounds impossible?
What if I told you that you’ve found a photographer that can solve all of these?
Hi! I’m Jana, your lifestyle family photographer, who captures the beautiful, authentic, ordinary moments for your family.
I’m a wife and mom to 3 amazing girls! My oldest is 21 and I have to say that I didn’t think it would go so fast. I’m super grateful for the many years that I homeschooled them and was able to soak in their everyday joys, creativity and of course, their big milestones!
As your lifestyle photographer, I want your photos to represent exactly who your family is and what you love. What does your day-to-day look like? What are your hobbies? Where do your kids love to play? What toy is your toddler obsessed with?? I want to know all the unique things that make your family so amazing.
I know that it can take kids a little bit of time to warm up to new people and with my sessions, we are not in a hurry. Your kids will get to interact, play and not be confined to sitting still and looking at the camera. I’ll capture your family in all it’s joy, connection and maybe even a little bit of chaos. With my calming presence and curiosity, don’t be surprised if you child wants me to read them a book before we’re done with our portrait session!
“Some of my most precious memories yet were captured by Jana's style of photography. It was such a relief to take pictures of our family in real life scenarios.” – Laura H.
Let me ask you a question. What do you do with images after you’ve selected your absolute favorites from your portrait session?
I wish I had pictures of myself as a baby. My sister and I were adopted, and I don’t have any pictures before I was 2. I have 3 girls, and I would have loved to have seen if they looked like me as a baby.
You’ve taken the time to get your family portraits done and I want to be sure that we go the extra step and DO something with your portraits. Not just store them on your computer or in a drawer somewhere, but as art on your walls or an album on your coffee table to enjoy every day!
“Jana was wonderful with my daughter’s family and brought out the cutest expressions from their 7-month old daughter. This was the first time in my 61 years of life that I remember having our picture taken multiple times and enjoying it. Jana also did an awesome job at picking the perfect spots for each shot, with interesting backgrounds. I recommend using Jana for any special photos you want done. Her work is excellent and extremely professional.” – Lisa T.
