about your photographer - jana bonderman wininger
"normally I don’t love having my picture taken, but Jana has such a warm, calm presence that puts me at ease, and I forget I am having my picture taken."

Your real life is so damn beautiful. I swear, it's pure art. It's the good stuff, the double stuff, the sweet, sweet honey glistening throughout your everyday. The dirty faces, unmade beds, temper tantrums, giggle fits, ugly carpet, footed pjs, fairy gardens, dance parties, missing teeth and starter homes - they only happen once. Your life is filled with joy, fear, chaos, laughter, exhaustion, frustration, sadness, elation and love, there's always the love.
Jana Bee Photography was born from both my childhood nickname, and my ability to capture the sweet, sweet honey amidst the buzz of everyday life. I'm based in Los Angeles, but available to travel worldwide. I believe strongly in photos you can feel and touch, so I work hard to create beautiful, tangible heirlooms, like photo books and framed art. All of my documentary clients receive at least one of these goodies included with their sessions.
I love to dance with our 13-year-old daughter Josie (I swear she was just 4 the other day), make up silly voices for our rescue cats Fezzik and Soleil, eat at ALL of the restaurants, drink wine at book club, hike in the hills around our home in Glassell Park, forage the farmer's market every Sunday, dream about someday renovating our old house and take super fun, and waaay out of my wheelhouse, Bollywood dance classes.
