Hi, I’m Lana—and I believe that the best photos don’t just look beautiful, they feel like you. In the heart of the Ozarks, Lana Raquel Photography was born from a love of storytelling and a drive to capture connection in its most raw, real form.

 

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve photographed countless love stories and family milestones—from epic wedding days under open skies to barefoot toddlers chasing sunlight. Whether you’re getting married, celebrating your people, or just want to freeze time for a minute, I’ll help you do it with intention and artistry.

​

As a Branson family photographer, I’m here for the belly laughs, the tearful vows, the dirt on the hem of your dress, and everything in between. As a Branson wedding photographer, I live for love stories that unfold in tiny moments—soft smiles, happy tears and stolen kisses under string lights.
 

I’m all about collaboration over rigid posing. We'll create space to play, move, and be yourselves while I work my magic behind the lens—mastering light (natural and off-camera) to make you look as luminous as you feel.
 

While Branson is home, I frequently travel for sessions across Springfield, Northwest Arkansas, and Winnipeg, MB (where I grew up!). So if your story takes us on the road, count me in.​​​​
