Hi!  I am Janis Jean, a professional photographer living in North Saanich, a beautiful rural area north of Victoria, British Columbia.  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. 

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.

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

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