Hi, I am Johnette Kesterson.


I am the owner and lead photographer of JoKester Photography. I founded JoKester in 2017. With 10 years experience ranging from Family photography to Weddings, and everything in between, my passion is capturing the moments you treasure for a lifetime.


I have always had a passion for photography, and finding the art and beauty in everything that crosses my path. I have a wonderful spunky son who keeps my days filled with adventure. Theres never a dull moment with him in the room.

Hi, I am Lauren Rankin.


I am Johnette's partner and 2nd shooter with JoKester Photography. I joined JoKester in 2019, and haven’t looked back since. I have been shooting DSLR since 2016 with a specialization in low light photography and have been working with digital photography since 2011. I have experience with weddings, live music, and events.


I have always enjoyed capturing clients raw emotions and expressions in my photography. While keeping busy with my step son, and a healthy work-life balance, photography allows me to escape and allow the days to slow down to ensure I capture what’s happening in the moment.

Hi, I am Missi Mangino.


A Youngstown, Ohio based wedding videographer. She has multiple years of shooting experience and loves working with her clients to create something they remember for years to come. She enjoys meeting people, exploring new places, and learning along the way. Her family and friends are what’s most important to her. In her free time she enjoys, snowboarding, Xbox, trying out new ciders, and cuddling up with her cats(when they let her). Missi will capture all your special moments for you to relive from your special day.

“I found JoKester Photography on facebook. I reached out to Johnette, and she was so responsive and helpful. We chose the Happily Ever After package. The canvas was beautiful, we added on the photo book as well, and she has such an eye for design. We plan to hire JoKester Photography again for our newborn shoot in October when I deliver.”
