For families who believe kids should have room to be kids, I create a space where children can be themselves and parents can simply be with them—capturing the personalities, play, and connection that make this season uniquely yours.
If you’re here, you probably love full on belly laughs more than perfect smiles, barefoot sandy toes over spotless sneakers, and moments that feel real more than anything overly polished. I’m so glad we’ve found each other! Maybe we’ll explore your favorite beach, run through sun-drenched fields, or even just hang out in your backyard and capture the magic of your everyday moments together. At the end of it all, you will walk away with more than just beautiful images. You will have a gallery of memories that feel just like you; filled with love, energy, and the kind of real, unfiltered moments that matter most.
When I look at photographs of me and my own daughter, it’s never the most polished or pretty photos that I love. It’s the ones that show me her energy- the silly faces, the unhinged giggles, the messy and real. I yearn for the photographs that remind me WHO she was in that stage, and also who we were to each other.
Hi, I’m Janet!
“Janet went above and beyond to capture gorgeous images of my family that I will cherish forever. As a photographer I have tons of pictures of my kids, but none of me holding and playing with my kids. I shared this longing with Janet and she delivered and we had a wonderful session. It was just our family goofing off and playing with her catching it all.” - Andrea S.
That’s exactly why I do what I do. I want to create a relaxed space where your children can be themselves and you can actually enjoy being with them. A space where the photographs come from the way your family really interacts- the way your kids play, the way they make you laugh, the way they relate to each other, and all the little things that make them them.
Because one day, I want you to look back at these photographs and remember who your family was in this season, not just what you looked like.

"Janet is amazing. She has been taking pictures
of our family since our eldest was a newborn (now 4) One of the hardest realities is that our kids as we know them are always growing and changing and thus fading. These moments in time that she captures are the closest thing to a time machine that we have." - Michael

Janet did my maternity shoot and I instantly felt calm and comfortable in her presence. The photos came out beautifully and she captured some (very natural) special moments. 10/10 would recommend. We do our family holiday photo with her every year now!
