"If you're looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable, celebrated, and completely yourself in front of the camera, Lani is your person. She captured our day so beautifully and somehow made the entire experience feel effortless. Our photos are everything we hoped for and more." 

David & Grace Swanson

"If you're thinking about booking Lani, this is your sign. Do it. She is kind, organized, ridiculously talented, and somehow makes being in front of a camera feel natural. Our photos are stunning, but what I'll remember most is how cared for she made us feel throughout the entire process."

Mia and Cameron

"I swear Lani has some kind of magic power. Not only are our photos beautiful, but she made the entire experience so much fun. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, and by the end of the day it felt like we'd known her forever!"

→ HOW TO SETUP A WORDPRESS HOMEPAGE

*important* FEatured posts "how to"

The Featured Posts Static canvas below and across your pages is not linked to Wordpress and will not auto-populate your blog posts. If you would like your homepage to auto-populate posts, use the Homepage in blog templates and connect it on the Wordpress backend. You can learn how to do that from the link below.

OR, I recommend manually updating your featured post static canvas across your website pages (excluding blog template pages). This way, you get complete control over which blog posts, which order, and which images you want to feature and direct visitors to across your pages.
