meet jana,

your alaska wedding + destination elopement photographer

I truly believe photography is how we all travel in time and someday it is all that will be left of us, which is what makes me so passionate about what I do. Telling the story of your life and love is taking the time to document the simple, the grand and the little moments in between that ultimately show + share who you are, what you love + who you’re spending your time with. It’s going to your favorite coffee shops, breweries, bringing the dogs, incorporating your favorite hobby, a grand adventure to an epic view or experiencing something new.  It’s showing up for yourself regardless of what shape you’re in, because your life is worth documenting right now, exactly as you are.  It’s showing off what a badass you are + how radically you’re living this beautiful life and whatever that looks like for you, I want to meet you as you are + authentically document your life, your love, your world + take the pictures that will live on your walls and forever share your story.
