Jana is by far the best photographer we have had the pleasure of working with! I found Jana through Instagram back in 2019 after my now husband and I got engaged. While we were in Maui we had her do an engagement shoot for us and our pictures turned out phenomenal. So much so that when we were back in Maui in 2022 we had her do a maternity shoot for us! We live in Arizona and have had engagement photos, wedding photos and family photos done here and Jana is still my favorite photographer. Not only are Jana's photos aesthetically the best (color, tone, etc.), but her demeanor is the best out there as well! Jana made us feel extremely comfortable, but she gave us direction where needed. She has an amazing eye and can feedback such as \"turn your chin down slightly\" which turns a good picture into a great picture. I have found very few photographers do this and it makes a world of difference. My family will be making a trip back to Maui one day and you bet Jana will be the first person I reach out to for family photos! She's truly the best and I cannot recommend her enough!

Jana was amazing at capturing one of the most important days of my life, finding out the gender of our first baby. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She also had so many great ideas to help make the moment even more special. I will forever be grateful to Jana as these photos are some of my favorite I have now. She is such a sweet and kind person and I would highly recommend her! We will most definitely be using her again in the future!

Jana is a DREAM!!!! She’s probably best known for her dreamy wedding photos but we’ve only ever used her as a family photographer. With 3 kids under 6 and too many adults to count she has captured our extended family during our Hawaiian vacations effortlessly. She’s incredible with kids, my daughter still asks about her! We just adore Jana and cannot wait to return to Maui for more photos with her.

We are delighted with the pictures Jana took of our family. We love the natural style that we were after! Jana was friendly and helpful throughout the process. The photos are just so special and are making wonderful forever memories for our family. Jana does a wonderful job working with families. Getting pictures taken from Jana has become a family tradition every time we come to Maui. Highly recommend Jana Dhillon photography, Jane knows all the locations to capture great photos from sunrise to sunset. We have been using Jana Dhillon photography for the past 10 years. Thank you!

Nothing but great things to say about Jana. She knows the spots to go to and times to go. Her vibe and laid back demeanor make the entire experience easy and stress free. She initially did engagement photos for my wife and me that turned out amazing. So we came back a couple years later for maternity photos and she knocked it out of the park again. No one better on the island than Jana!

We hired Jana Dillon for some family photos on a recent trip to Maui. Not only were her pictures amazing she was so kind and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. I am also a wedding planner in the Northeast and if I had the opportunity to reccomend her for every wedding I work I absolutely would. Her portfolio speaks for itself. Hire Jana for your keepsake photos. You will not be sorry.

Jana is the best, full of energy, and an amazing eye for the perfect shot. We have known Jana for 13 years. She did our very first family photo shoot with our three fur babies in 2010 at Del Mar Dog Beach in Del Mar, California. She was very accommodating, professional, and an tremendous way making her subjects comfortable, relax, free thay wenforgot we were having a photoshoot. In 2012, while returning from deployment, my wife met me in Hawaii on Oahu. We knew Jana was living in Maui at the time and we wanted her to do our photo shoot. We contacted her and she managed to fit us in on her busy schedule. She flew to Oahu and helped us capture more memories in Haleiwa near the very famous Matsumoto Shaved Ice. Again, her work was beautiful and we loved it. In the summer of 2017, my wife and I attended a relative's renewal ceremony in Oahu. Of course, we wanted to see our friend Jana and at the same time, wanted her to do another photoshoot. Of course, she happily obliged and met us again in Oahu and this time our photoshoot was at Lanikai Beach where you can see an amazing viewnof the The Mokuluas. And again, the photos came out great and we had such a blast. Definitely, our next trip to Hawaii will to Maui and we cant wait to do another photoshoot with Jana. Hopefully it will be sooner than later.

Thank you Jana for capturing our wonderful and unforgetable memories.

Your Friends from San Marcos, California,
Dell and Jane.

Jana is absolutely awesome! From flexibility with booking to working with you to capture your special moments, Jana is a dream to work with. As a person who has worked a lot with event photographers, I've seen the spectrum of photographers who could be overbearing and distracting. Jana is far from that. Her eye for composition and her photo editing skills are top notch. We are lucky to have found her and we know who our go to photographer is when we're on Maui.

Jana is an awesome photographer! A little over two years ago, she took my maternity photos (also commemorating my 4th wedding anniversary!). While the sun was blinding and it was a hot day, she captured my pregnancy, our union, and the landscape of Lanai all together!

She was so wonderful to work with that we hired her to capture my son's first birthday photoshoot as well as a surprise proposal for my sister. Yet again faced with so many moving parts, Jana delivered and boy did she deliver. The photos are some of our most cherished. She captured my lively 1 year old son, set up the surprise proposal, and got some incredible shots of my sister saying \"yes!\" Our homes are filled with Jana's photos and I would not hesitate to book her!

Jana is our favorite Maui photographer!

We had her capture some beach portraits on our last trip to the islands. She is not only talented but such a warm person with a true Aloha spirit.

She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and really took advantage of the location, making sure to get us a variety of backdrops.

We love her work and will hopefully get to work with her again on our next visit!

I traveled to Maui with my husband right after we got engaged. We booked Jana to do our engagement pictures at Haku Mills. Jana was so fun and easy to work with. Her photographs are pieces of artwork. Jana was very professional, responsive, and great energy. She made our engagment photo shoot fun. I would highly recommend her for any of your photographic needs. 10/10 would refer to anyone else! She is the best!

My wife and I had wonderful wedding day with with Jana behind the camera. The photos of that day adorn our walls capturing that day forever. Jana treats you like family and guides you even if your not comfortable getting pictures taken like myself. My wife loves getting her pictures taken. I would definitely have her take our pictures again. Thank you Jana.

As a photographer myself, I am always so picky about choosing a photographer to capture my family's photos. After seeing Jana's amazing portfolio, I knew she would do a great job and I was right. She captured my family photos and a little surprise serenade that I planned for my husband as an anniversary gift. Jana was so wonderful with my kids and caught my family's true spirit. We are so grateful for her talent and our beautiful photos!

She made us feel at ease, and her kindness added an extra layer of warmth to the session. If you're seeking a photographer who not only delivers stunning photos but also creates a fantastic experience, Jana is the one for you.
