About Janice

Portraits for every season of becoming.

When I meet someone for the first time, I’m rarely thinking about the photograph.

I’m thinking about the person.

Every person who steps into my studio brings a lifetime of experiences with them—joy, grief, love, uncertainty, confidence, change. Before I ever lift my camera, I want to understand a little of that story because the most meaningful portraits aren’t created through posing. They’re created through connection.

I’ve learned that people don’t remember being photographed nearly as much as they remember how they felt. My role isn’t simply to create a beautiful image. It’s to create a space where you can stop performing, stop worrying about how you should look, and simply be yourself.

That’s where the real portrait begins.

For many years, I avoided being in photographs myself.

One day, I realized there were almost no photographs of me for more than twenty-five years of my life. It felt as though that chapter of my story had disappeared. If someone wanted to know who I was during those years, there was almost nothing to show them.

That realization changed everything.

I stopped believing photography was about documenting appearances.

I began understanding that photographs become the visual record of our lives.

They remind us that we were here.

That we loved.

That we changed.

That we mattered.

I believe every life deserves to be seen, remembered, and celebrated.

Our time here is fleeting, and photographs become proof that we existed—that we loved deeply, grew through life’s seasons, and shared our lives with others. Whether I’m photographing a person, a family, or the bond they share with a beloved animal, I’m preserving more than a moment. I’m creating a record of a life that mattered.

That belief shapes every portrait I create.

That belief is present in every portrait I create. Whether I’m photographing the bond between people and their animals, a woman stepping into a new season of life, a growing family, or deeply personal conceptual work, the purpose remains the same — to create photographs that become part of someone’s story.

Every session begins the same way—with curiosity.

I listen before I photograph. I pay attention to the moments between the poses, because that’s where honesty lives. The laugh that wasn’t planned. The quiet glance. The deep breath before someone finally relaxes.

Those are the moments worth remembering.

Photography has given me a front-row seat to some of life’s most meaningful moments. Every person who trusts me with their story gives me the privilege of witnessing something deeply human, and I never take that for granted.

For that, I will always be grateful.

If you’re looking for photographs that are more than something beautiful to hang on a wall—photographs that become part of your family’s story for generations—I would be honoured to create them with you.
