"As a mom of 4 kids, I know how you feel. Raw and postpartum, or navigating sending your baby to kindergarten, all stages of motherhood are a part of the tender human experience. The closest thing to a time machine that we have is photos. Over time we forget how little they were, the curve of their pout, the cheeks, the toes, the mischief...Images suck you into that moment and bring back a wave of emotion. Portraits help us remember and celebrate our lives.
It's such an honor and joy to create art for families that they'll cherish forever.
I find that giving us a little room to just be ourselves with grace, laying out tools for success and taking some things off your plate can go a long way towards making photos (and life) less daunting, enjoyable, even.
I aim to have fun in every session, helping you recenter and feel less awkward in front of the camera by being a friend and human first."
Ready to experience getting photos in a new light? Let's get talking.
...for mothers in every tender stage of life.
pick a session type:
"She was protective of everyone's experience and thought of every detail, which was reassuring as someone who hates getting photos taken! Above & beyond!"
"I'm so awkward so the direction for the poses and the words of affirmation made the experience a 10/10!"
"I felt so empowered and beautiful...the pictures brought tears to my eyes after seeing them!"
"Lana was super sweet...In fact, she taught us a lot of good things about a newborn. We loved meeting Lana!"
"She is amazingly talented!
We are in love with our pictures, but most of all we got a friend for life."
"She is so good with the kids! It was good to see them being themselves. The photos made me cryyy!"
