“Meraki” [may-rah-kee] Greek(n.) To do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work. //
I thrive on the dynamic, vibrant rhythm of life! From hearty laughter that leaves my cheeks sore, to celebrating new beginnings and soaking in positive vibes—these are the moments I cherish. Thank you for visiting my portfolio! I'm Jen, the proud owner and photographer behind Jennifer Studanski Photography, based in Omaha, Nebraska, and serving the entire Midwest. With over two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of capturing extraordinary people in stunning locations.
My journey is marked by fierce intention, dedication, perseverance, and a deep passion for photography. Rooted in faith and fueled by relentless hustle, I've reached this incredible milestone. Family and faith are the bedrock of my journey.
I specialize in guiding and directing couples rather than simply posing them, ensuring authentic and heartfelt portraits. By capturing movement, emotions, and natural body language, I create unforgettable photographic moments that become cherished memories. Let my vision and expertise complement your unique story, resulting in timeless photographs that embody the beginning of your family legacy.
Jennifer Studanski | Omaha Wedding Photographerlet’s get social
I'm passionate about capturing all your authentic moments! Whether it's an Omaha/Midwest based wedding, engagement, elopement, senior portrait, headshot, lifestyle sessions, or family gathering. I’d love to showcase some of the best wedding venues, in Omaha and the surrounding areas, with you or show you some of the best hidden gems around Omaha for your portrait session! For a more controlled environment, we can head to my studio - located just outside of Omaha. Let me preserve these special memories for you!
What it’s like to work with me:
My goal is to make your experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I focus on helping you feel relaxed in front of the camera with a natural, lifestyle approach to posing—capturing you interacting or looking at each other. I provide prompts and guidance, making small adjustments like angling your face or positioning your hands to help you look your best and bring my artistic vision to life. Of course, I’ll also get some classic shots of you smiling and looking at the camera! My editing style is warm and moody, and while I'm self-taught, I’ve invested in mentoring and courses to continue growing. With over 30 years of experience, I’m passionate about learning and improving. If you have any questions or would like to work together, I’d love to hear from you!

Best of Omaha 2023 and 2025!
Best of Omaha is the leading “Best of” contest in the nation and there are several reasons why. Best of Omaha prides itself on its advertisement free, blank voting ballots that allow only one vote from a verified legitimate email provider. Preventing and putting a stop of vote-stuffing and manipulation ensures that Best of Omaha’s legitimacy is beyond reproach. Utilizing the latest in IP address monitoring and AI tracking – we guarantee that the Best of Omaha represents our readers’ minds and celebrates the true Best of Omaha!
While other contests might sell business name and logo placement directly on the ballot – Best of Omaha keeps a clean, open-ended ballot that allows one vote per category per person. We’re not interested in how many times a business can get a voter to vote, we want to weight our readers equally.
