I hired Jana for an event recently after looking up commissioned artists on Yelp. She has fabulous reviews, and I am pleased to say that I completely understand why! In the weeks leading up to the event, she was very responsive when it came to letting me know her availability, and on the day of I felt completely stress-free knowing that she'd be an extra-special addition to that evening's festivities. On the night-of, she showed up a few minutes early and set up quickly and easily. She conversed smoothly with everyone who came to sit down and get their portrait drawn by her -- I totally love the way she set up her space! Everyone absolutely loved her and were all very proud of the special keepsakes she drew for each person to commemorate the event. Thank you, Jana, for being a unique and special addition to the evening, you were such a great hit and I certainly am proudly holding my Doodlebooth creation close to my heart forever! read more

Lucky me, Doodlebooth was booked at our local Yelp elite event at Fatpour Tap Works. Jana Kinsman, captured my youth in a hand-drawn portrait in less than 5 minutes on a postcard. While drawing, Jana actually carried on a conversation with me about my whole Yelp experience, which I'm sure she did the same with the others. After reading some of our post Fatpour Tap Works Yelp reviews, Doodlebooth was one of the highlights to our event. Everyone that was at the table I sat at, or near it stopped at Jana's table to have a hand-drawn portrait done. So I imagine that everyone that showed up to the event saw Jana. A big kudos to our Yelp Community Manager, Anna K, for booking Jana at our Yelp event. I definitely enjoyed. Thomas G read more

Doodlebooth helped make my wedding truly remarkable! My partner and I met Jana at Chicago Indie Wed Fest. With many vendors offering photobooths, Jana's services and talent really stood out as unique. When we sat down to receive our own doodles, we got to learn more about Jana and what a fun person she is. We were so obsessed with the unique style of our own doodles that we booked her on the spot and used the doodles as part of our wedding invitations. On the day of our wedding, Jana arrived about half an hour early to setup. We provided a table and chairs, and she brought her own tabletop sign and lamp. Over the course of 3 hours, almost all of our 60 guests stopped by for a sketch. The best part about her service is that she scanned every doodle. Our guests got to take home their original doodles and we got all of their digital copies. Our guests remarked how fun and unique the doodles were, and some have already framed them or posted them to social media, so we know we made the right choice! I'd highly recommend Jana at Doodlebooth to help make a special occasion more remarkable. read more

I was lucky enough to experience Doodlebooth at an event on a yacht. Most of us have experienced the ubiquitous photo booths, but now there's Doodlebooth! In less than 5 minutes, Jana will doodle your face on a postcard! Jana was very patient, professional, and obviously super talented. She worked through the event and everyone was so pleased with their portraits. I was so curious and interested about her business, and she took the time explaining the type of pens she uses for drawing her portraits and why she prefers those pens. This is a cute, quirky alternative to photo booths, and much nicer than caricatures. I really enjoyed the experience and love my keepsake of the event more than a strip of photos! read more

We hired Jana's Doodlebooth for our wedding in late July. We thought it would be fun to do something a little different & loved that the doodle could be a gift for our guests to take home at the end of the night. From the beginning, Jana was communicative and quick to respond to emails/questions. She arrived on time and was professional. My husband and I have our doodle framed at home - we loved the experience of working with Doodlebooth & so did all of our wedding guests! A final note - we especially enjoyed the link she sent us the day after our wedding (quick turnaround!). It showed all of the doodles she drew at our reception. It was fun guessing who each one was & is a good keepsake to have! Thanks Jana! read more

The first doodle I received done by Jana was from my wife and son as a stocking stuffer xmas gift. I was lucky enough to meet her again at a local event and we had her draw a family portrait for the 3 of us. As we sat in her booth, my (then fiance) and I both had the same thought and asked Jana, "do you do weddings??" as we were in the midst of planning our big day. Jana, fortunately for us, was free for our New Orleans nuptials, and I can easily say, Doodlebooth was one of the highlights of our wedding reception! Jana is one of those people you meet and feel like you've been friends with forever. She is talented, professional, and fun! Having Doodlebooth at any event will be a hit for you and all your guests! read more

Such a great addition to any event! Super cute drawings!

We first met Jana and Doodlebooth at a pop-up venue in Chicago, and after having a great experience while Jana created our drawings, we decided on the spot to hire Jana to bring her Doodlebooth magic to our daughter's wedding reception. Needless to say, this was a big hit at the reception with our family and friends. There were people lined up to be drawn for the entire time Jana was there, and everyone loved being able to take home their drawing as a great memento of the wedding! read more

Jana's services made my wedding so unique and fun. She is a great alternative to a typical, overdone photobooth. My guests were all happy about how quick her drawing was and how they got to take a 5x7 copy home to frame as a keepsake from our wedding. My husband and I loved the PDF versions Jana sent afterward, and we had fun guessing who was who! I would definitely recommend her to all my friends. read more
