get to know

Grace & sebastian

We asked JoAnna to re-shoot our engagement photos after our previous photographer did not deliver what we wanted. She understood our style and posing habits, and simply told us to show up to Central Park. ... During the session, she gave us clear but simple posing instruction every step of the way, which was extremely helpful in finding natural, candid shots. My first engagement shoot was extremely stressful, but our shoot with JoAnna was actually fun. She kept us updated on the edits process and had edited our photos while incorporating our concerns about skin tone differences, and had our finished album within 1-2 weeks time. This includes editing out all of the crowds of people during peak cherry blossom season from the background of each photo! We are looking forward to working with JoAnna again whenever we need a photoshoot, as her work and passion for capturing the special moments speak for themselves.

"I wish I could give JoAnna more than 5 stars, because her service and abilities far exceeded anything we could have imagined.."

- ALEX M
