HOW IT WORKS
IN 4 EASY STEPS:
PLANNING & DESIGNING YOUR SESSION
The first step in planning your portrait session is a design consultation to discuss how you want to be photographed. Together we will plan your photo shoot from wardrobe to location, and everything you need to prepare for your exciting day.
This is a time for me to learn more about you and your imagery goals, so I capture exactly what you are looking for – and for you to ask questions. We will also review the pricing and product menu.
PRO HAIR & MAKEUP ADD-ON
You have the option to be pampered with professional camera-ready makeup services and light hairstyling fat the studio. A little glam can go a long way in helping you feel camera-ready, relaxed, and radiant. $250 add-on to your session fee..
We’ll guide and curate looks from your own pieces or from my studio wardrobe collection, ensuring you feel stylish, polished, and uniquely yourself. You may want to plan a night out after your session, because you're going to look gorgeous!
THE PHOTO SESSION
Once styling is complete you will be ready to rock your photo shoot! You never have to “know what to do.” I’ll direct you through poses, expressions, and angles that flatter your features and reveal your authentic presence.
All you need to do is enjoy your day and feel your confidence blossom. Plan for a 4-hour day, which includes 1.5 hours for makeup, if you add that service.
REVEAL OF YOUR IMAGES
You only buy what you love!
A few days after the session, we will meet via video call, for your reveal appointment. You will view the best images from our session and have an opportunity to order all the images you love, as well as a variety of museum-quailty handmade products from Italy to store your images, including wall art, albums, magazines and handmade folio boxes.
PHOTOGRAPHER JANA MARCUS
Welcome! I'm Jana, and I want to take the most beautiful portrait you've ever seen of yourself.
I've been a portrait photographer for over 30 years, and I understand how powerful photography can be - it can empower you, change your perception of yourself, and contribute to your legacy.
My goal is simple: to have you feel seen, supported, and beautifully photographed.
I create thoughtful, unhurried sessions designed to celebrate who you are.
I see beauty in everyone I meet. I love finding that "ah ha" moment with every client, and can't wait to find it with you!
OUR HAPPY CLIENTS...
A life-changing experience for me...
You won’t regret one minute of a photo session with Jana! I never in a million years could have predicted I would participate in anything like this but it was really a life changing experience for me. That day in the studio has changed how I look at myself... to see ourselves in a positive,
encouraging, powerful way!
Beauty is from within but sometimes we need some help with our exterior to make that confidence and beauty really shine. This is a really positive thing that Jana and her team are doing, celebrating women of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors and especially those of us who are gray, saggy and feeling less than perfect/young anymore.
