WEDDING & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi there! I'm Lana. I believe every photograph tells a story that resonates across generations. I work with my clients one on one to craft natural, fluid movement within each frame, steering clear of stiff, contrived poses that lack authenticity.


Incorporating both natural and off-camera lighting into every project I take on, I produce high quality photos that are designed to stand the test of time. With 10+ years in the photography industry, my goal is to illuminate your personal story and to capture your true essence.

My Story

Looking back on my childhood in Canada, it's evident that my path in life was always leading me towards photography. At just 7 years old, my parents started whisking us away on epic road trips, sparking a deep appreciation for the beautiful people and places around me. Armed with a pink, plastic Barbie camera, I was determined to freeze every magical moment in time, unknowingly laying the groundwork for a lifelong passion.

​

It wasn't until I was cast in my first musical that I fully understood the power of storytelling. My love for the theater spurred me on to pursue modeling in my early 20’s and it was through modeling that I learned the intricacies of posing, expression, lighting, and movement. I believe that these pieces of my past—the road trips, modeling, magazines and musicals—have all seamlessly woven together over the years, preparing me for this fulfilling career as a professional photographer.
