Before you share your story..

Let me tell you mine

Hi I'm Janna Jo!!  I am 22 years old & am a hopeless romantic with a big love for photography & all things creative. Photography has always been a hobby for me that I love, but I started growing my business my senior year of high school!! (senior photos hold a special place in my heart bc of this!!) Photos By Janna Jo has now been a business for four years & I have photographed & met so many amazing people!! I seriously LOVE what I do!! Photography doesn't even feel like a job to me:)


Outside of photography, I love art, fashion, music, & animals !! You will catch me playing the guitar, going on adventures with my husband, writing songs for fun, screaming Taylor Swift at the top of my lungs, painting the world around me, & playing with my two cats! (Their names are "Squirt" & "Dory" from Finding Nemo:)) Also, my husband is in the military so I am a Navy wife! Therefore I currently live in San Diego but come back to shoot in MN!!


I love to inspire others & make them more confident while photographing them. It is always my goal to not only capture amazing & gorgeous photos during photoshoots but to also instill confidence in every one of my clients I work with. Photography has always been something I love because of how I can make an impact on my clients & give them confidence in themselves no matter their age. I love bringing out my client's personalities in their photos and showing them how amazing they are. It is very important to me to be creative & experiment with angles and poses so the photos you receive are always interesting to the eye, unique, & beautiful.  


& most of all... I CAN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU:)


I love random chats about life, traveling and creating art. When we meet, I can promise you 2 things - laughs till your stomach hurts as well as beautiful photo memories that we’ll create together.
