About Jana

Hey there! I am so glad you’re here. For as long as I can remember, I was the person taking all the photos at family and friend gatherings. During high school, I was entrusted with the school yearbook camera and toted that thing around everywhere I went; it was heaven! I maintained my passion for beautiful photos throughout college, and even started taking professional photos of people in Birmingham, AL while I was finishing my English / Linguistics degree in hopes of becoming a teacher. When we moved to Huntsville in 2016, I realized portrait photography was my passion and built my business here.

In addition to my photography business, I also work as a project manager for J. Alexandria Creative! We are a design agency that serves small business owners with branding, website, and marketing services. In order to maintain quality for returning clients, my availability for photoshoots is limited.

I love vibrant photos as well as crisp, black and white images. I adore photos of people laughing and photos of children being children. I try my best to keep clients comfortable during their photoshoot. If you are looking for a photographer and would like to get to know me better, get started by filling out my contact form.
