I’ve known this stud since he was a little guy. Little guy no more. Graduating high school from Truman in Independence in 2021, he has so many opportunities awaiting him. Bryce is a gentleman, respectable, kind, hard working, a great athlete, a Godly man. I am so proud to know him and his family and […]

  Magical. That seems to be the word that could sum up this whole weeks experience in the 1000 year old Ristonchi Castle in Pelago, Italy with Nicole & Tyler November, 9 2019. This wasn’t just a wedding “day” but a whole adventure. A cold and rainy fall up in the mountains of Italy left […]

You bet ya… my favorite couples are the ones who continue to keep me around. They love my work and have continued to follow me through their engagement, wedding, pregnancies, their families growing, all the things… It’s so much fun getting to know my couples and to watch their story unfold. I’m pausing time for […]

Lauren & Brennan wanted a session at the Nelson Atkins Museum with that beautiful crisp fall air Kansas City offers for such a short time. Our fall’s timing has been odd this year. Later and later we all waited for the gorgeous yellows, oranges, and reds to pop up around the landscape. It’s like it […]

Year after year, season after season, kiddo after kiddo the Rosson family keeps calling me back. Honored would be an understatement. I know you all are my friends, but it means the world to me when you all are my biggest cheerleaders and believe in my artistry and photography. I just love watching your family […]

This family just keeps growing, and growing and growing. Not only did they have two kids under the age of 6, but now TWINS! To say that this house was full of love, laughs and sounds of little feet on the floors, would be an understatement. It’s amazing friends such as Chris and KC, that […]

Rachel & Johnny, now getting to celebrate their engagement session. You see, I met Rachel and Johnny at Indie Wed in Kansas City, a really fabulous low key and intimate bridal show. Someone sent them over, “You have to go talk to Jana, she got married in Grand Lake, Colorado too!” The world aligned and […]

What a sweet way to start your wedding weekend celebration. Kali & Adam flew into Kansas City separately due to work schedules, and hadn’t seen each other in a few days, so after reuniting for their engagement session at Loose Park’s Rose Garden, they got to start their wedding weekend just them two, together for […]

When choosing a location for your engagement or lifestyle session, or even portraits on your wedding day, think about places that are out of the ordinary. Places that are meaningful to you: maybe a place you met, where you like to spend your free time, where he proposed, or something sweet to your story. For […]

A little bit of romance, and a whole lot of fun! Matt, my awesome friend with Hawleywood Films tied the knot with his very own dream girl this past weekend, October 7, 2016 at Abe and Jake’s Landing in Lawrence, Kansas. A pretty cool night club turned event space that runs along the river in […]

Julep, located in Westport off the plaza of Kansas City… its one of Melanie & Bryan’s go-to spots to spend time together and with friends in their spare time. What a fun environment from the appropriate colors that somehow fit Melanie & Bryan’s clothing perfectly, to their reflective chandeliers hanging above the bar, to the […]

Congratulations to the young, fun, and silly together-Megan & Jordan. I loved how much they laughed together and I loved how much I saw in Jordan, his willingness to take care of her. These sessions remind me of how wonderful and unique each couple is. To see all of their images, visit their gallery.

Molly, Molly Molly. Gorgeous, confident, ready to graduate [smiles] This high school senior is as sweet as she seems. Very in love with staying active in the outdoors, embracing the beauty of the nature world. I LOVED this session a lot. We waited for the perfect weather and holding off for just a few more […]

Back to where he first proposed… celebrating Nick & Amanda’s first year of marriage with an Anniversary shoot from Philip and I. Nick is my husband, Philip’s brother if you can’t see the resemblance. And it seemed like just last week Amanda & Nick got married. We LOVE having Amanda a part of the family. […]

Abby & Josh…..two people who are bound to have a great time, no matter what! Purple was definitely the hot color for 2012 weddings. The colors were so vibrant with their beautiful fall leaves and early sunset. Congratulations to Mr and Mrs, Josh and Abby!   Photography | Jana Marie Photography Ceremony Venue | Holy […]
