"My heart’s desire is to create imagery that reflects the depth and meaning of each moment."

I am inspired by nature, beautiful architecture, and human connection, viewing each through a lens shaped by light and intention. My work is defined by a delicate, editorial, and luminous aesthetic, created with care to feel both timeless and deeply personal.

Outside of weddings, you will most often find me with my family. My husband, Mitchell, and I have been married for 13 years, a true study in opposites that somehow fit together seamlessly. Our two boys are the center of my world, and together we cherish spontaneous adventures, slow moments in our garden, and time outdoors with our family dog, Oliver.

I do this work because photography allows me to truly see people. 

I am drawn to the process of developing a thoughtful vision and watching it unfold naturally, especially on a wedding day. My goal is not simply to photograph events, but to observe connection, emotion, and interaction with care and presence, creating images that allow my couples to return to the feeling of their day, long after it has passed.

I am inspired by nature, beautiful architecture and human connection and view these elements through a lens of light and love. With every photograph I take, I strive to capture light, love & authenticity with a delicate, editorial, luminous aesthetic.

the other joys that set my heart on fire

My Family  | My husband and I met on a surprise blind date and got married on a white sand beach in Hawaii.  In 2015 and 2018, we welcomed our two sweet boys to our family - and my heart has been its fullest ever since.

My Darling Boys | Lincoln (age 10) and Holden (age 7) are my free-spirited, energetic little boys. I end most days absolutely exhausted and filled to the brim with gratitude that they are mine. 

The Garden  |  Slow, quiet moments in the garden are a deeply coveted time for me.  Getting my hands dirty, ridding my space of weeds and nurturing things that are striving to grow is something that brings me great peace and joy.

Oliver  |  Our 'first child' Oliver is an Australian Labradoodle with the sweetest, gentlest demeanor.  In case you're wondering, yes, we are those people who love and treasure our pets like they are members of the family. 

Travel  |  My husband has been working in the airline industry for over 20 years, and travel is an integral part of our family culture. Sometimes we arrive at the airport with nothing but a carry-on and without knowing exactly what our destination will be!

"... incredible communication, kindness, and genuine excitement to be part of our day."

There are many photographers who can take beautiful photos, but only a few who transcend their role as just a photographer to being your personal cheerleader, adviser, and all-around amazing individual to have on your team.

"Janet captured the raw emotions of our beautiful day."

Janet fit in not only as a hired Photographer but a newfound friend we all grew to love and admire. She helped us feel so comfortable - as if a close friend was taking our photos! Everything from the big moments to the finest, most dainty and otherwise forgettable details. Janet ensures we could never nor would ever want to forget these details!

"Her style perfectly captured the joy, love, and excitement of the day."

Working with Janet was genuinely fun. She was so truly excited for my wedding, and even managed to get my loving, yet reserved, husband to smile for pictures. Her style perfectly captured the joy, love, and excitement of the whole day.

"...deep caring for clients, work ethic, and ability to build trust and confidence..."

Janet's work is so stunning and we couldn't be happier in trusting her to capture our first major milestones as a couple.  More impressive is her deep caring for clients, work ethic and her ability to build trust and confidence in how she supports the couple. We trusted her completely and it was a weight lifted.

"An absolute dream to work with.. her work is beyond perfection."

Janet was an absolute dream to work with for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She completely understood our vision, was nothing but kind (along with her entire team,) was very organized and helped us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera.
