Perfectly Imperfect, Just Like Family
Let’s be honest—kids are wiggly, someone’s always missing a sock, and no one knows where the dog went. And honestly? That’s the good stuff.
I’m here to capture your family just as you are—laughing, cuddling, being total goofballs, jumping on the trampoline and loving on each other in the most real way. No stiff poses. No pressure. Just connection, chaos, and a whole lot of heart.
These are the moments you’ll want to remember forever .
Mom, I see you…
I know how it goes—you’re juggling a million things, trying to keep tiny humans fed and alive, and the idea of family photos sounds... exhausting.
But hear me out.
You deserve photos that feel like you—the snuggles, the silliness, the chaos, and the love. And you deserve a photographer who makes it easy. I’ll guide you the whole way, help you choose outfits (yep, even that), make sure your crew actually has fun, and create artwork of your family that you can pass down to your kids.
No stress. No pressure. Just real moments, beautifully captured.
You show up. I’ll handle the rest.

“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!” ~
Hey, I’m Jana—
Photographer, artist, and mom to three incredible girls (2 of them are adults now, how is this possible???).
I know how fast this season flies. One minute it’s bedtime stories and sippy cups, the next it’s car keys and college tours. 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.
The part no one talks about….
Your camera roll is overflowing.
You booked that quick 15-minute session once and left feeling rushed, sweaty, and wondering if there was even one decent photo.
And while the pics were sweet… they’re still sitting on your phone, buried between screenshots and grocery lists.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing: your family deserves more than that.
More than a rushed photo in a random field. More than digital files that never leave the cloud.
You deserve a session that’s calm, connected, and actually fun. One where your kids have time to warm up, be themselves, and enjoy the process. One where I get to know you—what your family loves, how you laugh together, and what makes your people yours.
And after all that?
We’re not stopping at “here’s your gallery, good luck.”
We’ll go the extra step and actually do something with those beautiful images—like turning them into artwork you can hang on your walls, or an album you flip through on cozy afternoons. Because your family is your greatest work of art.
Let’s make sure you never forget what this season felt like.

“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.
