Hey! I'm Joana, -pronounced like Jonah- a West Michigan photographer who loves capturing genuine moments and real connections. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2007 with a degree in photography and started shooting professionally in 2008. I love working with families, high school seniors, and couples—basically anyone who wants to document a little slice of life as it is. Whether we’re laughing through a family session or catching golden hour with a senior, I’m here to make you feel comfortable, have fun, and preserve your moments.

My Approach

With over 17 years of experience and a degree in photography, I bring a wealth of expertise to every session. With a background in film photography, I guarantee your photos will be high quality and ready for your wall frames. I'm also working towards establishing an indoor photography studio to enhance my range of services.

Family Portraits

My family sessions are designed to capture the warmth and joy of your family. Each photograph tells a unique story, preserving the special moments and creating lasting memories for generations to come.

Senior
Portraits

Senior year is such an exciting time, and my sessions are all about capturing who you are right now. I focus on creating fun, authentic portraits that show off your personality and celebrate this life milestone.

Couple
Portraits

Whether you're celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or just your love story, my couple's sessions are all about capturing your connection. I like to create relaxed portraits that highlight your chemistry, laughter, and the little moments that make your relationship one of a kind.
