Client LOVE
To put it simply, Janell is the BEST! We sought out services specifically for maternity/family pictures, and by far, she exceeded all expectations. Janell was incredibly patient with our spunky 2-year-old, and made everyone present feel beyond comfortable. I truly have all of the love/respect in the world for Janell, not only as a professional, but a new friend. We cannot wait for the arrival of baby #2, and to see Janell work her magic again! ❤️
Janell is the best
