My children are always in a hurry. Playtime should be now, snacks and meals would be better if they were instantaneous, and trips to the park should always have happened fifteen minutes sooner. I think that's why I can see them growing before my very eyes--reaching baby milestones, learning to ride a bike, and losing their first baby teeth. As a mother of three girls, it's bittersweet to observe them all dash to master the next thing, tick off another month of their age, and wish their birthday was today. While my girls are hurrying and racing through their childhoods, I just want to slow down time to savor the morning cuddles and the afternoon bike riding marathons.

As a lifestyle photographer for Jani Photography, I can record these fleeting childhood moments for your family. From a baby's tiny details of wrinkled feet, sleepy pursed lips, and newborn curliness to a big boy's proud feat of climbing and leaping off the BIGGEST! rock they can find, I capture kids as kids, with all the reality that goes along with it. Yes, I'll consult with you to select the best clothing options and we'll find a beautiful location that fits your family's personality, but the images will still be YOU. Your personalities, your loves, your life, preserved forever.
