... a photographer, content creator, storyeller & educator

​

I've been a photographer for over 35 years, and I understand how powerful photography can be - it can empower you, change your perception of yourself, and contribute to the legacy you leave behind.

​

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!

Welcome! 
I'm Jana

"A month ago I did a photoshoot with the amazingly talented Jana Marcus. When we first discussed the shoot in May, she told me that she would take the most beautiful pictures of me I had ever had in my life. And she was right! From the moment I stepped into her studio she made me feel like a beautiful princess inside and out! Thank you Jana for capturing me and helping me to love the way that I look!"

"When I decided to take my on-screen career seriously, I went to Jana for headshots. Her unique eye and affinity for composition has helped bring me into professional level opportunities that have shaped my career in ways I couldn't imagine. Every time I get a call directly from a casting office or production, the first thing they say is, 'You have a great look.' That's a look that Jana created."
