Today, her focus is to offer a unique senior portrait experience on a personalized level. She has the honor of photographing seniors with all different interests, and showcases their beauty while helping them build their own confidence.

The variety of poses, picture sizes, and options such as metal prints and canvases meant we could get everyone just what they wanted! Senior year is such a special time, and it goes much too quickly. These pictures helped capture this moment in time and these are memories that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend working with Jana and Gabrielle!”

“A component of my senior year I have always looked forward to was having my senior pictures taken. I loved every part of it. From getting my hair and makeup done to having the pictures taken, Jana and Gabrielle made the experience so much fun! I would not have wanted anyone else to take pictures for me. Not only did I have such a great time taking the photos, I decided to include my show horse. Jana did an incredible job capturing my passion for horse showing. I was so impressed and happy with how the photos turned out! After such an amazing experience, Jana Rodmaker Photography will always be taking my photos!”
