About

Five years ago, Southern Serenity Captured was born from a quiet, meaningful realization: the moments that matter most often pass by far too quickly. What began as a simple love for photography grew into something deeper when Lana Salinas discovered the power a single image has to hold emotion, memory, and connection all at once.

Lana found herself drawn not just to beautiful settings, but to the in-between moments—the soft laughter shared between loved ones, the nervous excitement before a “yes,” the comforting embrace of family. She realized that these fleeting, honest moments deserved to be preserved with care and intention. Photography became her way of honoring those stories and giving people something tangible to hold onto long after the moment had passed.

Over the years, Southern Serenity Captured has grown into more than a photography business—it has become a welcoming space where clients feel safe, celebrated, and truly seen. Lana’s calm, Southern-inspired approach allows every session to feel natural and unhurried, creating images that reflect real connection rather than forced poses.

Looking ahead, Lana’s vision for Southern Serenity Captured is rooted in legacy. She hopes to continue expanding her craft while staying true to the heart of her work: storytelling with warmth, authenticity, and love. Her goal is to serve families, couples, and communities by creating timeless photographs that will be passed down, revisited, and cherished for generations—each image a reminder that life’s sweetest moments are worth remembering.
