If you’re here, you probably love full on belly laughs more than perfect smiles, barefoot sandy toes over spotless sneakers, and moments that feel real more than anything overly polished. I’m so glad we’ve found each other! Maybe we’ll explore your favorite beach, run through sun-drenched fields, or even just hang out in your backyard and capture the magic of your everyday moments together. At the end of it all, you will walk away with more than just beautiful images. You will have a gallery of memories that feel just like you; filled with love, energy, and the kind of real, unfiltered moments that matter most.
Laidback and authentic storytelling photography for the adventurous at heart
Photo by Nicole Mackle Photography
I’m an easy-going, love-to-be-outside, happy-go-lucky kind of person, and it translates directly into my photography. I believe photo sessions should feel easy and fun, and as much like your family’s ideal hang-out day as possible. No stiff smiles or perfect poses here! I don’t want to mold you into anything that you’re not. I want you to have photographs to look back on that are real; that bring you back that day when you were on the beach, chasing after your kids, spinning them in circles, or holding them tight against your chest. We won’t choose a landscape just because it’s pretty- we’ll choose the one that brings your family to life- whether that be playing with waves at the beach, exploring in a forest, or chasing each other in an open field. I’ll guide you towards the beautiful lighting and give you and your family lots of ways to connect. The result will be timeless art that brings you back to this wonderfully, imperfect chapter of your life.

“I love how natural and genuine our photos look -- she creates an environment that naturally captures the most beautiful, intimate life moments. I'm grateful for how she captures emotions (humaneness) from the small, fleeting moments to the larger ones and brings them to life in timeless masterpieces.”- Charmaine

Janet did my maternity shoot and I instantly felt calm and comfortable in her presence. The photos came out beautifully and she captured some (very natural) special moments. 10/10 would recommend. We do our family holiday photo with her every year now!
