I’m Lana — a family and wedding photographer based in Polo, Illinois, always ready to travel wherever your story takes me.
My approach goes beyond simply taking photos. It’s about creating an experience where you feel at ease, documenting genuine connection, and preserving your moments in a way that feels timeless and true.
I’m inspired by the real, unscripted moments — the quiet ones, the joyful ones, and everything in between. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend, I’d be honored to capture your story.

I’m a big fan of dogs — especially when they show up for photo sessions or weddings! My own pup, Kinnick, is the sweetest sidekick. He’s usually curled up next to me while I edit or riding shotgun on errand runs.

Whether I’m editing, getting ready, or driving to a wedding, there’s almost always a podcast playing in the background. Current favorites? Armchair Expert and Giggly Squad — on repeat.

Caffeine definitely fuels the magic around here! My go-to? Most days, you’ll find me cozied up in a local coffee shop, headphones in, editing away and sipping on an iced oatmilk latte.

Warm weather, ocean air, and salty hair — that’s my kind of happy place. I don’t have one favorite destination, but if there’s sunshine and salt water, I’m in. And yes — I absolutely travel for weddings!

Sweet treats are my love language — whether it’s your wedding dessert table or a late-night Dairy Queen shake… I’m equally excited for both.
