I’m Jan of Jani Photography.

I am mommy to three curly-topped girls.

My home is filled with pink–pink tutus, pink toothbrushes, pink hairbows, pink scooters, pink soccer shin guards, pink baseballs, to name a few of our pink possessions.

I began taking photographs to document all that pink, to give my children a visual record of their early life, the moments that they’ll never remember but I’ll never forget. And while all the milestone moments are forever recorded in my computer’s memory, those aren’t the images that I find myself looking at over and over again.

Instead, I pull up the shot of my oldest exploring her baby world as an army-crawling machine.

I find an image of my middle daughter, clinging to my knees and gazing up at her favorite thing in the world–momma.

I cherish the photograph I have of my baby girl cuddling on my grandmother’s lap, a tiny infant foot cradled in Grandma’s time-worn and wrinkled hand.

I photograph families and relationships, not just people. Sure, I can (and do!) get beautiful images of smiling, happy children sitting nicely and looking straight at the camera. We all need images like that! But I can also capture photographs that illustrate the love between sisters, the joys of childhood, and the intensity of family bonds. A portrait session with me is a free-flowing experience, with movement and giggles and games and fun.

Because I am first a mom and second a photographer, I am available for portrait sessions on a very limited basis. I tend to book 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during busy holiday months, so please contact me by email at jan@janiphotography.com to schedule your session early.
