Testimonials
Lana is absolutely fantastic! She's done me headshots for me, family photos, and even just fun staff photos! Can't recommend her enough! 10/10.
Dana Ranae
Lana captured the most beautiful photos of our family that we will treasure forever. She’s captured many pictures of our family over the years and we will keep having her capture special moments. She is absolutely worth booking a photoshoot with!
Megan Carter
We loved Lana for our newborn photos! She made the whole process so easy and captured such sweet, natural photos of our new family. We will treasure her photos forever. I would recommend her to anyone!
Jenny Jacobsen
Lana truly has a raw, natural talent for taking photos. She always captures my family in the most beautiful and flattering ways! She's always professional but makes you feel so comfortable and confident while she's guiding the photo shoot. I have no doubt that everyone loves their photos as well, based on the beautiful images I've seen of others.
Alicia Camacho Harmon
Lana is the BEST at what she does! She has taken many of our family pictures over the years, and Lana always knows how to get our four rambunctious boys to smile. She also does a great job of capturing sweet candid moments with the family. I also love the way she catches natural light in the most beautiful way in all of her photography work. She is truly gifted. I can’t recommend her enough!
Ashley McCray Willis
Lana is the Best! She makes you feel comfortable and makes the 'poses' seem/look very natural! Lana did our maternity and family lifestyle pics and we couldn't find one we didn't like!
