Some call me a photographer. I call myself an artist; a storyteller...the one who captures your life in it's own beauty. I am very non-traditional photographer and have been known to scope out the unnoticable things that we take for granted everyday. Trust me with my trained eye; trust me with my vision; trust me with the artistic drive that comes strait from my heart.
I met with Chelsea sometime last year and signed a wedding contract with her. The wedding will take place at Morgan Creek in Roseville, CA. I am very anxious to see the place! Chelsea and Seth brought along their little princess (she’s 2!) “Savannah” who will be the flower girl! What a cute little family! This session took place at one of my very favorite locations out in the boonies! Some of you that follow my blog may have recognized it! 
And I had to throw this one in last!!! So cute!

Well, I don’t know where to start! I have been photographing this family for over three years now! Samantha, owner of Creating Memories Photography is absolutely obsessed with my work! Samantha has become a dear friend to me, so I will be doing their family pictures for the years to come! The Prather’s just recently found out they are expecting a little girl who will be named Lilly! How exciting!!! Samantha and her family are very excited! Here are a few of their mini session holiday photos that will be going out on their holiday cards! Congratulations Sam and Justin, I can’t wait to meet her!
This family hasn’t grown much….but the kids sure have!!! I have photographed them three times. Once when Stephanie, owner of SC Photography was pregnant with their first daughter, and once again after she was born. I haven’t seen them in quite sometime, and I was so surprised at how much the kids have changed!
THEN. . .
And NOW. . .
Thank you Stephanie and Mickey for all you have done for me! Also, thank you for allowing me to capture your cute little family as well!
All I can say is WOW! When the bride, previously and formally known as Erica Dusa, called to meet with me, her first words were “If I can’t have you as my wedding photographer I will throw a fit, and won’t know what to do as far as wedding photographer!” Luckily, I had her wedding date available! My fiancee and I drove all the way to beautiful Santa Rosa, past Novato where I was born and spent some of my early years of life! Brought back so many memories! The wedding was very simple and small. Very intimate and sweet. Erica wanted a wedding ceremony that was mostly family. It was beautiful. Here are just a few moments I photographed from the wedding.
Thank you Erica and Justin for having me on this amazing and beautiful day! You both and your families were great to work with and I am honored to have worked with all of you! I hope you enjoyed my company and I am looking forward to working with you in the future! Thank you again!
I have been photographing this little Dakota Fanning look a like since she was two years old! She is now four and cuter than ever! You can see for yourself from previous sessions how much this blue eyed blond beauty has changed!
Our first session out in Loma Rica on a beautiful pond at sunset…. one of my favorite all time sessions!
This would be McKenna’s three year session requested by her mother, Gara! This session was photographed out off of some rail road tracks on the river in West Arboga around noon.
And today, at age four in down town Marysville, CA. This location is prime for professional photography! Isn’t it just amazing how much she has changed since the first birthday session? She has really come out of her shell since and is finally getting used to me and the camera! Thank you Gara for having me once again. You are a great client and I appreciate all of the referrals and business you send me! Your awesome!
One thing I truly just love about my photography career is watching beautiful couples making a commitment and starting a family! Olivia, one of my most loyal clients who I just ADORE gave birth to her first born son, Skylar! You can see for yourself how cute he really is!
Announcing Skylar…
A new basket prop! Skylar was the first to use it! My mom brought it home to me! She is always looking for new things for my business! Thanks mom! 
It turned out great!
Congratulations Olivia and Ryan! He is gorgeous! I am honored to capture these special moments in your life. Thank you!
The Ceremony… Set in a beautiful very low lit Catholic church in Sacramento, CA. Professional photographers are not permitted to use any kind of flash in a Catholic church, so what you see here in the ceremonial photographs is all natural!
It’s Party time… This is always my favorite part of weddings! This is where the reverence is left behind and the laughter and joy begins! Mr. & Mrs. Matthew Helgeson are announced at the entrance of their beautiful and well decorated reception where Sangria and Mexican food was served! It was a great time!
The Formals… Another favorite part of my job! It always ends up being more fun than the bride and groom had originally anticipated!
Congratulations Catherine & Matt and thank you for allowing me to capture this beautiful time in your lives!
I am pleased to announce that you can now have your ordered prints framed and ready to hang by Visions by Janessa Photography!
Clients who have ordered traditional photographic prints previously know that I have several ongoing relationships with local framing stores here in the Sacramento area who offer my clients 20% off their framing. Clients have always been tremendously happy with the service received, and have often returned to have their other pieces framed there as well.
My new lab is offering framing options with the prints they produce allowing us to order the frame, mat and print at the same time, and it will arrive framed and ready for you to hang!
Frame sizes include: 11×14, 10×20 storyboards, 16×16, 16×20, and 20×24. You will have the option to have the print mounted full size into the frame (11×14 image in an 11×14 frame) or to add a mat to the image (an 8×10 print in a 11×14 frame), etc…
I look forward to adding this extra item to the pricelist in my continuing efforts to provide you with the very best in the most convenient way possible for YOU!
September 11, 2009 - 8:48 am - I love your work and you inspire me so much.
