I had a great experience working with Jordana for my maternity photos and I highly recommend her! The whole process was very smooth and she was very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable and did not feel rushed. I now see the difference working with a full service studio. She has a separate area for hair/makeup, lots of snacks and a ton of accessories to complete your look. I also loved the wardrobe choices she had. My pictures came out amazing and I loved the variety. This is definitely a top tier experience and definitely worth it!

She is so beyond talented in her photography and she also has the best wardrobes for Mama's, kids, and babies. Very unique custom pieces! Having the wardrobe taken care of reduces the stress and cost big time when preparing for a photo session. She is patient and is amazing with babies. This is very important for newborns photos, because there are many moving parts to newborn session that many people don't realize and she has these details in place. She will forever be our family photographer and I would strongly recommend her for maternity, newborn, 1 year old with smash cake, holiday, and family sessions. Beyond satisfied with her services!

I'm currently at Jordanalisa's Studio and I am just in awe of her professionalism and how friendly and kind she was. I was running late and she was super understanding. She also worked so well with my newborn daughter. I was able to sit back and relax as she took over and did everything! I mean literally. She even changed my baby's diaper and all. I highly recommend Jordanalisa Photography! Can't wait to see the photos!

We had wonderful experience working with Jordana for our baby's newborn session. The whole session is stress-free for parents because she's so caring and takes care of everything. She also respects parent's opinion and baby's feeling. She's a perfectionist and a talented photographer! The sneak peak she sent to us is gorgeous. We can't wait to see other photos! I would recommend her to everyone!

I HIGHLY recommend Jordana! She took my maternity and newborn photos. The amount of professionalism, patience with my toddler & newborn and warmth she had was exceptional. I had never met her prior to the maternity shoot, and she immediately made me feel very comfortable. She returned the photos to us quickly and they were amazing!
