I'm a San Diego-based photographer with a soft spot for golden light, authentic laughs, and storytelling through dreamy, cinematic portraits. I photograph seniors, couples, families, & life's most precious moments.
Whether I'm capturing a wildflower field in Minnesota, a beach sunset in SoCal, or an adventurous elopement, I’m here to make magic out of the real stuff — the messy, beautiful, in-between moments that matter most.
So if you’re ready to create something beautiful together, I’m your girl. Let’s make some magic together!!

LEARN MORE ABOUT ME
Janna Jo
Hey it's me,
"I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Janna! From the moment we started, I felt so comfortable and genuinely listened to. It honestly felt more like hanging out with a sister than a photography session. We clicked so quickly, had amazing conversations, and she brought such great energy to the entire process. The way she runs her business is top-notch—she’s incredibly responsive, professional, and organized. On top of all that, she’s just such a sweet, loving, and caring person. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll treasure the photos forever!"
Samantha Booth
"It honestly felt more like hanging out with a sister than a photography session."
"Our entire experience was amazing! Janna provided ideas, communicated everything early and often, helped her feel special on her day and offered lots of ideas and supported any shots she wanted that were not part of the plan including a FaceTime photo with her sister who was in college and couldn’t be there for her special day. "
Sheri Mello (Lindsay Mello)
"janna helped her feel special on her day."
"Janna was so easy to work with. She had great energy and knowledge to help my daughter not be so nervous to get the best results from her shoot. She was very engaging with us from the moment we connected with her through the final result. Great photos as well!! So beautiful."
Staci Matchan (Kylie McCauley)
"She had great energy."
"Janna has so much passion for photography and it is so easy to see it with how beautiful her work is. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for such an easygoing, comfortable photography session of any kind, and a beautiful result. "
Ella Horn
"the sweetest, most talented, positive, excellent photographer i’ve ever had."
"Working with Janna was the best decision for my senior pictures! She gives so many compliments when shooting and made me feel so comfortable when posing. She was there every step of the way, from planning the location to picking the right outfits. My senior session exceeded my expectations, and she made me feel amazing during every shoot."
Avani Marahatta
"best decision for my senior pictures."
"Janna is the most genuine, kind soul I have met!! She made me feel absolutely gorgeous both during the shoot and afterwards! Janna has such a positive, encouraging, radiant vibe! During the shoot she literally did everything for me except smile! (which she still did a lot) Janna made my senior pictures so easy and stress free which means a lot to me considering I was putting off anything senior related because I’m scared of change"
Sydney Jagow
"the most genuine, kind soul i ahave met!!"
"Janna was amazing to work with! She made my partner & I feel so comfortable in front of the camera & made our whole session so fun! I highly recommended her to anyone looking to make some magic!"
Chynna & Ben Cohen
"she made our whole session so fun"
"Janna is literally the best photographer in the whole world! she has always been so accommodating from senior photos to flying across the country for my elopement photos, making the most magical photos in some extremely cold weather that you can’t even tell in the photos !! Always down for an adventure and such a great photographer AND friend :))"
