WHEN LOVE FEELS LIKE A DREAM,

WE CAPTURE IT.

MORE THAN
JUST PHOTOS.

Your daughter’s full weight on your chest. His steady shoulders beside you. Dad’s familiar smile. The sound of Grandpa’s laugh from across the room. The little things that feel ordinary now, but someday will mean everything. Those are the stories worth keeping.

Stories worth keeping.

Why Dear Jane?

Dear Jane was born from the idea that photographs are a little like letters—pieces of a story preserved for someone to hold onto. They carry the people we love, the places we’ve been, and the feelings of that phase of life. Each photograph becomes another line, another page, another piece of a life being written as it unfolds.

​

Because someday, these won’t just be photographs. They’ll be the stories you return to, the ones you share with your grandkids, and the ones you pass down for generations to come.

WE’RE JUST HERE TO HELP YOU KEEP IT.

Your story is already being written.

the
in-between
is everything.

MEET THE TEAM

Different personalities, different perspectives, one shared love for storytelling. No matter who’s behind the camera, you’ll always get the heart, warmth and experience that feels like Dear Jane.

"Maria is simply amazing. Her pictures/photography skills are absolutely incredible, as you can see already, but she’s also incredible to work with! She has a sweet personality and a great taste in style. I struggled matching my outfit to my fiancés outfit during our engagement session and she basically did the work for me! This was such a relief! She really cares and takes time for her clients and it’s so appreciated and makes me so thankful that I chose her to capture our wedding day. She helped with putting a timeline together and the day went so smooth for us. She stays on tasks, catches the sweetest moments that I didn’t even realize she was getting until we got our pics back, and keeps it fun. I also got ALL of my pictures back WAY sooner than I expected and I LOVE THEM. Thank you so much, Maria!"
