~ A heartfelt thank you to all my clients who have taken the time to share these testimonials ~

Sidney Fire Department

“Janis literally went above and beyond for our annual department photos. To capture our photos she bravely shot from a bucket truck, all while remaining calm and professional despite the unfamiliar location. The passion she put into pre-organizing the staging of our fire trucks and personnel is reflected in our photos. Janis invested considerable time and effort communicating with our staff before, during, and after the shoot to assure our needs were met. To say we were impressed with the professionalism, flexibility, and charisma Janis brought to our photo shoot would be an understatement.” -Chief Mikkelsen, Sidney Fire Department

Patty & Family

Janis took family photos for us recently which is more of a task than it sounds! Due to career obligations, it is rare for my sons and their families to be able to spend time together on the island. She had books that I could read my sweet little grandgirls and captured them waiting for the next line of the storybook that I was reading to them. Janis was mindful of the fact that we were missing my husband Dallas, who passed away from cancer in 2011 - I like to think that he was enjoying his grandgirls playing in the sand together that day. I will be forever thankful to Janis and hope that she will be available to document our times together in the future.

Shelley - Physiotherapist

I loved having Janis Jean do my professional headshots. She thought of everything: the location; the background; the light; the sun in my eyes, the reflection and even marketing ideas. She is so enthusiastic and makes you feel like a movie star. The process was very professional and super fun! She had some of the best photos back to me super quickly. I would most definitely recommend Janis to do your photos.

Linda & Ralph & Family

"We had a wonderful experience during our photo shoot. It goes down as one of the best memories for our family for 2018. Because Janis took the time to meet with me to figure out what we wanted in terms of pictures and organized the groupings so we moved in and out of camera range smoothly, the shoot was wonderful. It turns out it is 'the gift that just keeps giving' - the three generations had a wonderful time and we have the pictures to prove it! Pictures we are proud to own, proud to share and love looking at over and over! Thanks so much, Janis, and your go-to, behind the scenes, husband, Mike.

Jack & Carol & Family

"We have worked with Janis on several occasions and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Although our daughters were not keen to have their picture taken before we got started, Janis quickly put everyone at ease and made the photography session fun which resulted in a great set of family pictures that we will cherish always. The afternoon went by quickly and it felt relaxed and personable - we were thrilled with the results! We highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a skilled and professional photographer."

Philip & Judy and family

"We’ve had the pleasure to work with Janis on a number of occasions! She is very friendly and professional who put our family completely at ease during our sessions. Our family had a lot of fun! Janis is also very organized and has a keen eye for detail! Whenever we go through our photo album and look at our wall portraits, it brings back so many joyful memories of the occasion. Thank you so much Janis for capturing our memories!!!"

Nellie & Jon

"Janis has been the most amazing photographer for our family. I had some ideas about some shoots and she captured them all beautifully, from a planned couple shoot, a gender reveal and a dreamy maternity shoot, it was all magic. Whenever I need someone to help my vision come to life, she is my go to"

Lynn, Glenn, Miss T & Declan

"Janis managed to make a typical gloomy Vancouver October day - bright and glorious! We had a blast during our shoot - even our daughter (who isn't the biggest fan of getting her picture taken!!) loved the time we spent together. Plus she managed to get our giant puppy looking at the camera!! We had a leaf fight and in Janis' bag of tricks she had the best Christmas prop that ended up being our family card last year. We are already planning another shoot for this year!! Thanks Janis! xoxo"

The whole family were gathering from far and wide and we needed a photographer to capture this wonderful event of 5 generations.
