MEET THE TEAM

Four women.

One shared way of seeing things.

We believe in beautiful light, real connection, and photographs that feel like the people in them. From weddings to newborns and everything in between, it’s an honor to tell the stories you’ll want to keep forever.

We’re so glad you’re here.

Maria, founder and lead photographer of Dear Jane Photo in Orange City, Iowa

Hi, I’m Maria.

FOUNDER + LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

Wife to my wonderful husband Tyler and mama to our four children—Gracie, Mila, Sofia, and Jack. They are, without a doubt, the best thing we’ve ever created.

Photography has been my creative outlet through every season of life, and what started as a love for capturing my own family quickly grew into Dear Jane. It’s an honor to photograph the people, moments, and stories that mean the most to you.

Hi, I’m Sierra.

PHOTOGRAPHER + VIDEOGRAPHER

A girl chasing a (somewhat unexpected) dream. I’ve always been passionate about creativity and design, but even more about making connections with other people.

When Maria asked if I was interested in joining the team, it felt like an answered prayer I couldn’t pass up. I’m so glad I did! I love capturing people as they are—the real, in-between moments—and creating images that feel natural, timeless, and full of life.

Hi, I’m Jamie.

WEDDING + LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

Over the past few years, I’ve found so much joy in being behind the camera and working alongside the Dear Jane team. What started out as helping out with a few weddings quickly became one of my favorite creative outlets.

I’ve always loved photography—the way you can capture special moments and be able to remember exactly how you felt looking back at them. I’m so excited to be part of the team and to capture your story.

Hi, I’m Miranda.

PHOTOGRAPHER + VIDEOGRAPHER

Maria and I have been friends for years—I was actually her very first senior session! A few years later, she captured my wedding, and I’ve loved watching Dear Jane grow into what it is today.

Photography and videography have always been creative passions of mine, and I spent the past few years editing wedding films behind the scenes. Now I’m thrilled to step in front of the lens as well—offering photography sessions and continuing to grow alongside this amazing team.

A few of my favorites

LITTLE FEET + LOUD GIGGLES | A FRESHLY CLEANED KITCHEN | ICED COFFEE + LONG WALKS | A LITTLE SOMETHING SWEET | CANDID FAMILY SESSIONS
