I'm a free spirited "hopeful romantic" who still cries at weddings. Yes, I'll probably cry at yours too! Fueled by coffee + positive vibrations, I'm a "you can sit with me" kind of person. I'm passionate about helping others who are thinking of pursuing the entrepreneur route. It's super contagious and reminds me of when I first started my journey to entrepreneurship.
Thanks for stopping by my travel page. So one of my goals for 2020 was to start being more mobile so bae and I could do more traveling before we settle down and have those babies. I have a handful of cities that we'll be visiting this year but hope to add more international flights throughout the next few months or so.

Janet is absolutely amazing! My husband, who is also a photographer, wanted to find someone to shoot family pics for our holiday card instead of setting up his tripod and lighting like he had done the last couple of years.
He came across Janet's site during his search, and we've been very happy customers ever since! Our 1st shoot was me, my husband and our then 4 year old. 2nd shoot was a family maternity shoot. And we're looking forward to the next with our family of 4 :)
Janet is super nice. She selects amazing locations. She's very easy to work with. Does a great job working

Janet's work was love at first sight. When I first saw Vicky's photo (my lovely coworker who introduced me to Janet), I thought OK, one day when I get married, I want her to take my photos. (but that was like 3 years before my now husband finally proposed... yep -.- )
Oh well! Such is life.
I obviously loved Janet's work before even meeting her so you could say I am biased. When my wedding planned asked me what's the most important 3 things for my wedding, Janet came as top @2, ok obviously I need my family to show up to have good pictures (ok well maybe not considering my

We recently did our family portrait with our toddler and grandma/grandpa. Janet was very accommodating and professional through the corresponding phase and up until the end of the shoot with us. We went with Janet from a friend's recommendation and was very happy. Janet recommended several beautiful locations but was also very open to new locations we were thinking about. We ended up choosing a location that was new to her and she promptly arrived early to scope the locale out before the shoot. She also was quite personable and easy going which made the shoot that much more enjoyable

What can I say about Janet that all these other people have not already said! At first, when I started looking for a photographer I remember thinking I didn't really care who did it as long as they could take pictures I would be fine with that! But it wasn't until I kept going through blog after blog and seeing all these different styles. When I found Janet's Blog I was hooked! I loved everything about her style even down to her logo ha! Her photos are what made me change my mind about a professional photographer all together. She doesn't know it but just from her blog photos

Working with Janet was such an amazing experience from start to finish. It all starts with her warm communication through email and telephone. She really listens to her clients and makes sure she knows exactly what it is they have envisioned for their session. She really takes the time to go above and beyond.
Janet is responsive, kind and extremely professional. My boyfriend and I did a couples' shoot with her and he isn't used to being in front of the camera but Janet made sure he was comfortable and at ease, and he honestly looks like such a natural in the photos! A model even! I&apos

Janet is awesome! That really just about sums everything up.
My husband and I used Janet for our engagement and wedding photos. She's super accommodating and drove all the way to Ramona (twice!) for our wedding. She's easy to work with, gives good direction, and takes very lovely photos.
She's very responsive and has a great personality. As you can tell about all her rave reviews here, she's definitely qualified for weddings and other photo shoots.

Janet was our photographer for our wedding & she did an AMAZING job. Upon meeting her for the first time, she was very personable and made both my husband & I very comfortable. She was very informative with what we could expect from her the day of the wedding. By the end of the initial meeting it felt like Janet had been our long time friend. During the engagement shoot, my husband & I didn't know what to expect being in front of the camera & were feeling a bit uncomfortable but Janet made it fun for us. She was very professional, directed us on how to pose, & by the

My husband and I were married one year ago this month. We worked with Janet on both our engagement photos and wedding photos last year. Janet is personable, very sweet and most of all a top notch photographer. Wedding days are always a bit stressful and a bride and groom always want to make sure that all the important pictures are for sure taken. Janet made sure that she had our 'must do list' far in advance, made a few suggestions of her own, and even scoped out our wedding venue to make sure that we would have great photos that day. We had the peace of mind that our day would be captured

Janet was the best photographer that we could have hoped for! I tell everyone I know that is getting married that they should use her because even though she didn't have the years of experience that some of our other vendors had, she was the most professional, organized and low-key person that we worked with for our wedding.
Every part of the process of working with her was fantastic, which really helped in the craziness of all of the wedding planning!
From the first time we met Janet, her warmth and sense of humor made us instantly fall in love with her. I knew I liked her work, her

Janet did a fabulous job on our engagement photos AND wedding photos. Janet met us for our engagement shoot in Downtown LA. We had no real plans, but she was extremely flexible with all our crazy ideas (walking all over town and unique angles). My fiance (now husband) took some time to feel comfortable taking the photos with a professional photographer, but she was patient and made it feel a lot more natural. The best photos were the candid moments she captured of us laughing, hugging, and smiling. The wedding day was pure chaos -- managing all the vendors and activities between 2 different locations

We got to know Janet through a family member and she was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding. From the first time that we talked to her, we knew that Janet was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. She is extremely friendly and patient with the endless questions that we had even before we booked her. Throughout the process, both the engagement sessions and the wedding, Janet had been accommodating and very generous with her time. We never felt rushed and she made sure to take into consideration all our requests. She also surprised us with little gifts and encouragements along

AMAZING!!! All I can to say is amazing!!! There aren't enough words to express how much we love our photos. Janet truly is a master. All of her technique and skills were essential for those photos. We feel so lucky to have had Janet be our wedding photographer. She captured us and our love for each other, we will never forget and are forever grateful for wonderful work she did that day, from start to finish professional. She is the best of the best!

There are not enough good things I can say about this talented young lady! She is not only beautiful on the out, but on the inside too! My fiance and I vacationed in LA Memorial Weekend 2012. Where I planned to have Ms. Janet take our first ever professional "couples" pictures of us while we were in Santa Monica. The evening before our photo shoot my fiance proposed! Hence, turning our "couples" pictures to "engagement" pictures. I was ecstatic! My fiance is not a big fan of taking photos and I knew it was going to be a challenge to make us "look" natural
