  • Serves Dayton, OH

I am a professional photographer based in Ohio. I have always had a deep passion for photography, which began at the age of 12. Growing up in a small city in Poland, I nurtured this passion and further pursued it by attending and completing photo school in 2015. In late 2016, I moved to Ohio. In 2019, I started my photography business, turning my lifelong passion into a thriving profession. For me, photography is not just a job; it is a way of life. I pour my heart and soul into every project, ensuring that I capture your special moments exactly the way you envision them.

Joanna is a phenomenal photographer. We could not have found a better option for us. She focuses on our desires for photos but also is always excited to give her own ideas as well. She mixes posed photos with candid in a flawless way to produce the most beautiful photos. We also love how quick she is in her work and just captured our engagement and wedding day photos so seamlessly and gorgeously. We intend to hire Joanna for future work as well beyond her wedding photography skills! Would recommend her to absolutely everyone!

Based out of Fairborn, Ohio. I will travel wherever you need me (for a small fee outside of a certain range, which will be discussed during your FREE consultation). I am self-taught and have been taking photos for over 10 years. I started taking portraits and fell in love with it, but now I feel I’m ready for a change. Although I still offer portraits (and many others), my passion is for weddings, engagements, and maternity. I love LOVE and I want to be the one that freezes it in time for you.

Abby was absolutely wonderful to work with! The proof is all in her pictures! Her work is absolutely beautiful, she was given 2 people that are so awkward in taking pictures and she posed us and helped us along the way to create photos that we will cherish forever! You will not regret choosing her for any of your photography needs!

Dani not only helped us find our elopement spot in Colorado but she was so helpful in structuring our plans. We had our air bnb for a week and she had flowers and photos placed in there to make us feel at home. It was so sweet. She had a changing tent for me to change into after we hiked to our elopement spot. After we were married we ran around the mountains taking photos and we felt so happy and comfortable! The icing on the cake, the photos turned out AMAZING!!!! She is stuck with us forever as our photographer! Hire her!!!

This is your permission slip to be unapologetically yourself on your day. Let the deep belly laughs, worst dance moves, and shameless joy be out on display. You only get married once - you sure as heck better make it weird, memorable, and uniquely yours. You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get). Someone who cares enough to capture all the big moments, but the smaller ones in between too. If you want a supportive bestie as your wedding photographer, let's get to know each other more. Send me a message to learn more about what I offer!

Awarded Best of Zola
Laura is our wedding photographer. I had booked her in 2021 - and she took our engagement photos that summer of 2022. We had to post pone our wedding a year and she was so easy and adaptable. She has answered all my questions and she also has helped me prepare for our big day. She’s witty, kind and her photography only grows every year. I am so excited for June of 2024 to finally have the wedding photos I’ve always wanted. Grateful to have such a wonderful Ohio photographer willing to capture our big day and offer input and guidance as we get through such a hectic time.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.
