Hey it's Janessa!
I am the heart behind Janessa Marie Photography! I am based in Owatonna, MN but have been lucky enough to travel to 7+ states for weddings and family sessions through out my photography career. For the past 10+ years I've been documenting love stories, growing families and the fleeting seasons that pass by far to quickly. I take pride in my documentary, connection focused, and timeless style of images and editing to uniquely tell your story. Whether it's your wedding day or a slow Sunday with your babies i would love to be there to document your moment in that way that is authentic and meaningful.
Your story and moments deserve to be documented and cherished for lifetimes
