Hello! I'm Jana!
Based in Hawaii with a photography degree and over a decade of experience, I'm intuitive, efficient, and ready to capture each phase of your life with heartfelt, genuine and timeless images.
I'm a wife and mother and for that reason, I'm inherently aware of how difficult it can be to make family photos happen. But I'm here to cheer you on! And ready to help you and your family feel at ease during our session together.
I'd love to work with you!
Frequently Asked Questions
How many images will we receive?
You will receive at least 75 images for a full shoot or at least 30 images for a mini shoot. I will select and deliver the images in a digital album.
Do we get to pick the location?
Yes! I can provide a list of locations for you to choose from based on the session type. Some locations might not be a possibility due to permits. If you booked a mini session, I will choose the location.
What should we wear?
I can work with you to help you coordinate outfits for your session based on location and session type! I can help you with color schemes, patterns and style.
When is the best time of day to book a session?
Any time of day will work! I can work with you and your schedule. I have experience working in every lighting situation and can deliver evenly exposed and colorful images at any time of day.
What types of images can we expect?
I have a rough outline/shotlist that I work off of for each session type. For family sessions we will do portraits of each person, whole family shots, then break down into smaller groups- just the kids, just the parents, mom with kids, dad with kids.
What if my family has a hard time being in front of the camera?
I do my best to have a fun, easy going time during our session together! I understand it takes a few minutes for children to feel comfortable in front of the camera but also have a small window when they are at they're best! I will spend the first few minutes getting to know everyone as I shoot candids and then will move onto posed portraits. I move quickly and efficiently while also working to help everyone feel comfortable! We'll then end with a few more candids as we wrap up our time together.
