It also smells divine.

Jana Kaye Gering


I am a mixed-media and encaustic artist working near Bellingham, Washington. Naomi and I have been friends since middle school days, and we've dreamed of collaborating for at least a few decades. Working with clients to find the meaningful details that reflect a specific perspective on a photo that Naomi has taken is a special process to me, and I love realizing the precious split-second in time that a photograph represents into a physical item that becomes part of a home.

I'm your favorite family photographer, of course! I've been based out of Lebanon, PA for the last twelve years, but before that I lived in Bellingham, Washington, which is where Jana and I became fast friends. Life has led us many different directions since then, but we always enjoy coming back together whenever we're in the same city.

The process is easy

Photo Session First


Schedule your session with Naomi Boyer Photography. Any image from your session will be available for a photo encaustic art piece, but some are more ideal than others. We will have a chat about which one would be best.

Brief Questionnaire
