Hi, I'm Janet! I'm an architect by day and a photographer, knitter, and home cook by night. I've recently moved back to my home state and am based in Austin, Texas.

I learned to shoot 35mm film on a Nikon FM-10 when I was 13 years old. It was purely a hobby to start, but eventually I got a digital camera and started taking more photos of family and friends. This snowballed into taking senior pictures in high school, and then I became a wedding photographer as a side job during college. I was shooting up to 10 weddings a year while juggling coursework--met a lot of great people, learned a lot, and drank a LOT of coffee.

Then architecture school sent me to New York and Paris, and I took a break from booking sessions.  During all that travel, I found myself reaching for my trusty FM-10 again. After years of being in a photography space that required rapid response, packed schedules and high energy, it reminded me to shoot carefully and intentionally. With that mindset, I moved to San Francisco 7 years ago and  began booking sessions again and shooting them on both film and digital. Then, family and life drew me back to my home state, which brings us to present day in Austin!
