Hi, I'm Janae.

Photographer with colorful arm tattoos poses playfully against grey backdrop while holding a professional camera.

I’ve been making videos since I was nine years old, long before I realized it could turn into a career. That early curiosity eventually led me to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Digital Cinematography in March of 2020 (literally one week before the pandemic hit).


I filmed my first wedding in 2017 and started my photo/video business in 2019. Since then, my goal has stayed the same: creating photos and films where people can truly see themselves.


I don’t believe in stiff posing or cringey prompts. Instead, I focus on natural movement and real interaction so your photos feel like you...not a version of you that was staged for the camera.


When I’m not behind the camera, I'm probably in one of these places...

-at home with my husband, our two boys, and our two dogs

-at my local community theatre (because I was a major theatre kid)

-playing slowpitch softball


And for a completely random fact: I was born exactly at midnight which gives me plenty of reason to celebrate my birthday for 48 straight hours!

“We came upon Janae very unexpectedly. After our wedding photographer cancelled on us 18 days before our wedding, Janae reached out and got us booked with her right away. Having never met her, knowing next to nothing about her business, or anything, we were kind of nervous. Our impressions quickly changed. Janae was so kind, helpful, considerate, and overall just so pleasant to work with. She had asked us a few questions before hand to get to know us and our style, which was so amazing! We had never had a photographer do this and it showed how much she cared. We received MULTIPLE compliments about her the day of our wedding from our family and guests. She went all out, including laying in the grass at a nature conservation center to get us our “Pinterest perfect shot”. We received tons of the most beautiful pictures we had ever seen. We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day, especially so last minute. We highly recommend her, as she will definitely be our family photographer from here on out.”

“This company is always so welcoming and flexible for photo shoots, despite three active kids they always capture all three looking and smiling and cooperate while chasing them around for natural looks. Definitely would recommend!”
