Authentic Family Portraits that Celebrate Love, Play and Connection.

Hey mom, I see you…

I know you’re juggling a million things. The idea of family photos might feel like just one more thing. But hear me out: you deserve to be in the photos, too.

This is about celebrating your family just as you are—the snuggles, the silliness, and yes, even the chaos. I (that’s me sitting on the couch) specialize in lifestyle family photography here in Austin, creating sessions that feel natural and full of heart.

I’ll guide you through it all: helping with outfits, learning what makes your family you, and making sure everyone feels relaxed and seen. And if your kids get a little wild? That’s part of the story. Real connection always beats perfection.

Just genuine moments, beautifully captured.

“(Jana’s) style is perfect for our family. We are chill, homebodies and capturing us at home just being silly was the perfect way to capture us!”

Hello!

I’m Jana, wife, artist, and mom to three incredible girls (my oldest is in her 20’s, which feels impossible because I swear she was just learning to walk… like, last week).

I know how fast this season flies. One minute it’s bedtime stories and sippy cups, the next it’s car keys and adult jobs. I’m here to help you slow it all down, if only for a little while.

Fun fact: Listening is my superpower. Whether it’s your kid explaining the entire plot of their favorite cartoon, or you telling me how this phase of motherhood is equal parts magic and meltdown. I’m here for all of it.

“Jana made our photo session of the kids SO fun! I didn’t even know I wanted to document our quarantine life until she offered, and I’m so glad she did! Jana captured the joy and *fun* of my kids as they played and interacted with each other in our backyard! She captured their personalities perfectly and I am so grateful to have these beautiful photos during this season!”

Your family as art on your walls.


Did you know?

  • Self-Esteem: A Tulane University study found that kids who see themselves daily in family photos feel more secure and valued by 37%.
  • Emotional Impact: Research shows 90% of people feel more emotionally connected to printed images than digital ones. Screens just don’t hit the same way.
  • Photos Lost: Surveys show 33% of people have lost photos to broken phones, dead hard drives, or outdated tech. If it’s not printed, it’s at risk

That’s why I help your family turn your fleeting moments into something lasting—framed artwork and heirloom albums that bring your family story to life, every single day.
