Janis has a way of capturing the best of everybody, showing you and your family as you are in real life, but in your very best light.

"

a lifestyle and documentary photographer serving my incredible clients in Toronto and Lake Simcoe cottage country. I have a passion for photographing families, newborns, entrepreneurs and real life moments.

Hello! I'm Janis,

My goal

with every shoot is to bring your family, your brand and your goals to life. I want you to be proud of our shoot and the story it tells

An extended family session under the highway...of course.

If you’re thinking you’d like to schedule a session soon, but worry the city is still a wash of grey and brown, I offer the obvious solution: GRAFFITI.

My new year newborn.

When I used to work in TV, I loved producing the stories about the first New Years baby. It’s sort of amusing that average newborns around the world are celebrated simply for the time of their birth.

What should we wear?

It’s my most-asked question from my family photography clients. And with good reason – everyone wants to look as great as possible, while still feeling comfortable and true to themselves for their session.

It was such a delight to work with Janis as she enhanced the photo vision with her professional eye for lighting and composition. The result was beautiful photography with natural lighting making it real and authentic. Janis is able to capture the essences of the moment. Grateful for her artist craft!

Janis was an absolute pleasure to work with. We hired her for a family photo shoot and were in awe of the results. She was so wonderful with the kids and made the entire process fun. We will definitely be using her services again.

Janis is amazing at what she does and brings so much talent and heart to her work. I've hired her for many family and professional photo shoots over the years and am always thrilled with the results – her photos are gorgeous, candid, and often surprising (in the best way!).

Barely older than a week, our baby was unpredictable, but Janis rolled with it! Janis is patient, reliable, flexible and accommodating. The photos offered a great selection to choose from in terms of poses, perspectives and style. I would recommend Janis to anyone looking for an easygoing session with a talented photographer!

Janis' experience and calm presence made the session feel completely natural which led to fantastic photos. Janis was accommodating in terms of scheduling and recommending a fantastic outdoor location in midtown Toronto. Would absolutely recommend and we are looking forward to our next session with her!

I hired Janis to take professional photos for my new business. I had never done professional photos before and Janis made me feel super comfortable with the process. Janis really knew what poses would suit what I was looking for. I recommend Janis to all my friends and family.
