Jana Williams Photography

A picture is worth a thousand words, but a true photograph is a moment forever captured in time. It’s a still image that tells a story of love, fear, wanting and need. I’ve always been a story teller, using the light and color seized through my camera lens. That still image is bond between myself and my subject, and with each snap of the shutter, that piece of glass fades away into a shared experience between us. A far cry from the glitz of the Sunset Strip, I grew up in a small town in Alabama. A child of nature and imagination, my simple, southern upbringing encouraged me to find beauty in the everyday. It also taught me about hard work. I always go the extra mile to take care of my clients during a shoot. While I am a photojournalistic photographer I also compose and direct shots through the wedding day when needed. I understand that being in front of the camera can be scary and I never allow my clients to feel alone. We are in this together. I currently reside in Los Angeles, under the watchful eye of the Hollywood Sign. My photos have been published in countless magazines and blogs, but of all my accomplishments, the most gratifying is still that magic moment when my clients forget I’m there, capturing the true love in their eyes, or the gentle touch of a hand. Because, in that moment, the story is just beginning.
