Hello, welcome!
I’m Lana, the dimpled face behind the camera!! I specialize in capturing joyful and romantic stories with a candid, soft, timeless essence.
I began taking pictures at a very young age, around 7 years old, when my daddy brought home an old polaroid camera for me to “play with.” That’s when I realized how much I, not only enjoyed taking photos but, was actually kind of good at making beautiful and interesting images with that camera. Before then I was only able to create images with paint and colored pencils. Now I got to capture what I saw instantly!
It brings me so much joy capturing some of the most special and cherished moments in my clients lives. I admit its quite addicting! I simply love my job and cherish the friendships that are made.
Take a look around to get to know a little more about me and my work!
I must inform you: This photographer stutters. I’ve stuttered since I was 3 years old and it still lingers into my adult years.
I do stutter sometimes when directing my clients, but I’ve had no complaints. Everyone is so patient and understanding and hey if it makes you laugh because you think I sound funny, even better.
I love capturing those big real smiles.
I still get the job done.
More about me…
ARTIST
I don’t feel like I’m living my fullest life unless I’m creating something. I play piano by ear, enjoy painting, videography, and want to learn to play the fiddle.
ADVENTURER
Before I started my photography business my dream was to work with animals, travel and document them in nature. I desperately wanted (and still dream) to work for Animal Planet or National Geographic as a photographer or videographer. I volunteered and worked at the humane society, went to school for Veterinary Medicine and worked in the field for 4 years hoping to eventually start working with exotics at a safari or exotic conservation…then I had my first child and had to switch gears. And that’s how I came back to photography and decided to make my beloved hobby into a business.
MOTHER & WIFE
I am also a very busy…and exhausted… mommy of two beautiful girls and 3 dogs.
My daughters names are Luna & Hope and my three dogs are Knight, Shadow, & Radar (all rescues). My handsome husbands name is Aaron. We would be a photography team…but he really can’t take even one decent….just..never mind. I love him :) he’s better at other (most) things.
