JANIS JEAN PHOTOGRAPHY

I am Janis Jean, a professional photographer living in North Saanich, a beautiful rural community just outside of Victoria, B.C. I am also a mom to an amazing daughter, a wife to a great guy, a lover of all things Scottish and a devoted dog mom.

I have always had a camera by my side - ever since my dad gifted me a Kodak Instamatic (anyone remember those?) growing up in the 70's.  

In my previous profession, I spent over 25 years as a first responder working the front line.  While it was incredibly rewarding, I somehow lost my ability to see the beauty in things the way I used to so many years ago. My perspective and world view often carried a darker tinge based on the situations I had seen, felt and experienced. 

When I created Janis Jean Photography, my perspective started to change and it challenged me to see the beauty and meaning in the everyday. When I challenged myself to capture character and authentic emotions in people, I found it incredibly renewing. I started to see the beauty again.

If you have come this far reading – thank you for taking the time to learn about my “why”.

Spare a few moments for a glimpse of authentic beauty and character and take a look at my portfolio.  When you are ready to create authentic images for yourself, connect with me here.
