I’m Jodi Kramarczyk.
Hi, I’m Jodi—the owner and photographer behind Five Twenty One Photo + Film. I’m married to the most supportive husband and am a proud mom to two amazing kids, my stepson Kaleb and my daughter Kylee. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me judging cheerleading competitions, being a dance mom, or spending time with family and friends. A few of my favorite things? Cruising, Hallmark & Lifetime movies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, white cheddar popcorn, and Diet Pepsi!
My photography journey started on the sidelines, capturing moments of my cheerleading team and even teaching a photography class. When my daughter was born in 2013, I quickly became a full-on “mamarazzi,” determined to freeze every sweet moment. That passion grew into something bigger, and in 2014, Five Twenty One was born. Now, I get to share that same joy with families, seniors, and couples—helping create memories you’ll treasure forever. Let’s capture your story together—and have a blast doing it! I promise!
Hey Friends!
Whether it's the day you are getting married, a moment to capture your family and freezing time, or embarking on one of the most exciting years of your childhood, your senior year, it's my belief that these opportunities are moments to be cherished and captured in a way that you will remember them for the rest of your life. It's not just a matter of snapping great memories for your wall but instead, capturing memories that will last a lifetime and you will never want to take down. It's my goal to capture photographs that will literally bring back all of the exciting feelings of that day and allow you to relive these moments all over again! Authentic photographs that will make you smile every time you look at them!
I am so blessed to have met some wonderful people through my photography sessions, allowing me to tell stories of their life through photographs.
I would love to photograph your family, senior, or upcoming wedding! Call me at (517) 898-3870 or fill out the contact form to start the conversation.
I can not wait to hear from you!

Jodi did an amazing job on my son's senior pictures! She is super easy to work with and very professional. She had quick turn-around time and her pictures are gorgeous! She had so many good shots that the only down side is that it was hard to chose a favorite. I would highly recommend.

We genuinely enjoyed working with Jodi for our wedding. She was admirably patient, gentle, kind, and professional. I sensed a genuine warmth from her, and honestly, I felt like she was simply another friend/family member in the room. I had no idea what to expect since we hadn’t done engagement photos, so it was our first time meeting in person. Jodi kept our timeline going, and she didn’t have to do that. We received the final edits back on time and were impressed. Our friends and family loved their dance floor photos! My favorites were our private photos at the local park. Thank you so much for making our day special. I recommend 521 Photo + film to anyone looking to work with a professional who makes them feel comfortable and is reasonably priced!

Jodi was the photographer we chose to do our pictures on the campus of MSU for our daughter’s graduation. First of all, she’s flexible, very communicative and so easy to work with. The photo session was like having a friend take the pictures and it was our first time meeting her. Jodi is friendly, easy going , willing to go anywhere without hesitation, and made the evening an enjoyable one. We would not hesitate to use her again and recommend her to everyone. The pictures turned out gorgeous.

Jodi did our wedding and my engagement photos. We couldn’t have had a better experience! She was so nice and fun the whole time, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Jodi was also knowledgeable in the field and skilled at getting the right shots! We felt like we were hanging out with a friend while she also maintained so much professionalism the whole time. We genuinely built a trust with her with our photos and memories. There is no one we would have rather had join us for the most special moments in our life! We are SO glad we chose 521 Photography.
