The Blog


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.

Happy Holidays from Brooklynne Rose & Visions by Janessa Photography

I couldn’t help but share the photograph’s I took of our beautiful baby, Brooklynne Rose who is now almost 21 months old!  Time flies!  Daddy picked out her outfit and mommy captured!! She was a little difficult photographing at first, until mommy made a game out of it!  I would show her my screen and tell her to run back to the setting for another, I would take a shot and she would run back to see the screen again, laughing all the way back to pose again! I am really happy with these gorgeous photo’s of our little princess!!  I think Daddy and her Nana loved them even more! ;)

My Family Trip to Bridgeport, CA

I haven’t had the opportunity to blog my most recent family trip!  My children and I took a drive to Bridgeport, CA back in September!  We stayed in a cabin/hotel our first night, got to explore Bodi, CA (Ghost Town), stayed in a cabin our second night, fished the stream at Doc & Al’s camp resort and just had a great time!  Most of these photo’s are snap  shots, some I put a little more creative effort into. ;)   If you are planning a family trip to the Sierra’s, I highly recommend Bridgeport, CA. My grandfather own’s property there and I have spent many many days in this beautiful town as a child and young adult! My Dad always made it a family tradition, and I’m only keeping it alive and going! :)

First morning at our cabin/hotel!  Off to Breakfast and then Bodi, CA.

Capturing the beautiful starry night… Some of these stars were not visible to my naked eye, but my camera was set on such a long exposure that it noticed light that I didnt. AMAZING!  Some stars are different colors, as you can see…

My eight year old daughter Kayleigh Webb is an amazing photographer.  She has taken many photo’s of me, her siblings, Sean and I…. Once again, she blows my mind.  These two photo’s of me, were taken by my eight year old, and I am one PROUD momma!

Vivienne & the Womack Family

Remember this family?

IMG_0472 lo res

Well they have recently added to their beautiful little family…another baby girl, Ivienne!

I loved every photo in this session and it was so difficult narrowing them down, so I went a little overboard, but who doesn’t like looking at beautiful pictures of a brand new baby?


Thank you Carolyn and Isaiah for hiring me again to capture your gorgeous little family!  It was a lot of fun and I was very satisfied with the end result!  I hope to work with your family again soon!  Congratulations and Happy Holidays!

The Doering Twins, Brock & karina

Meet Mark, Marika, Brock and Karina!  I was given the honor to photograph Marika 7 month pregnant with boy/girl twins!  Just a few days after our maternity session, Marika’s water broke and was admitted to the High Risk Maternity Ward at Sutter Memorial Hospital in Sacramento, CA.  The Dr managed to keep the babies in for another 2 weeks until Marika woke up one night and realized it was time to have the babies.  The babies were admitted into the NICU at Sutter Memorial and stayed for a few weeks until they were strong enough to come home and take their first photographs with me!  I had so much fun with this shoot!  Marika and Mark were amazing with helping out with posing  and letting me do all of the little creative things I wanted.  I really enjoyed taking every single photograph of these adorable little preemies, only weighting about 4 pounds each!  Thank you Marika and Mark for choosing me and congratulations on your double blessing!  It was an experience I will never forget!

The Fosch Family

I have known the Fosch’s for many many years!  I’d say since I was about 6 years old!  Ken Fosch, of Fosch’s Photography has photographed me as a teenager at events such as proms as dances!  It has also been brought to my attention that Ken is never able to be in any family photo’s because he is always the one capturing, or he sets the timer and runs to the setting! His wife, oldest daughter and I finally agreed that it was finally ‘time’ for him to be included in a family photo! The whole family was brought together in town for the wedding of one of his 4 beautiful daughters, Whitney! Congratulations Whitney!

What an honor to be able to photograph another well known photographer in this area, and what an honor to capture such a wonderful family that I have known for years!! Thank you to the Fosch’s for such a great experience!! It was a lot of fun!

The Van Atta and Hodge Family

This family is a special one!  I am originally from Suisun City, and Emily, the gal with the gorgeous red hair actually live around the corner from me.  We went to school together, went to church together and did a lot of other things together.  I haven’t seen her in about 15 years!  It was great!  She traveled all the way to Yuba City with her husband, father, brothers and sister in-law to have a photo shoot with me!  What an honor!  They were so much fun and I couldn’t help but posting several photo’s!  Thank you Emily for doing business with me and I look forward to doing it again!  It was great seeing all of you!

The Worley Family

And here they are again… I have photographed this family at least a dozen times now!  They are one of my favorites!  We always have a lot of fun and Mr. Brody is always full of new surprises!  This was a great mini session!  We also included Brody’s cousins this time so that Grandma could have an updated pictures of her beautiful Grandsons!  And this is why my job is so amazing!  I can’t complain, I love my job!

The Neel Family

Meet the Neel family, my new clients!  It was so hard choosing photo’s for this blog post, so I selected a few more than usual!  I would like to give Jennifer Neel kudos for doing so well with the coordinating outfits!  You rock Jennifer!  As you can see we also included Grandma in this mini shoot!  I think it went very well!  What a beautiful family.

Sisters

I hold this session dear to my heart because I have a baby sister who I hold dear to my heart, such as these two.  Having a sister has got to be the one most unbreakable bond and friendship.  <3

The Wireman Family

I just love this family!  They are return clients of mine and always have the cutest outfits.  I must give kudos to mom for doing such an amazing job with it!  I was very impressed!  These photo’s showcase how families can coordinate outfits without completely matching!  It was a bit chilly that morning with the winter breeze, but this family got through it with smiles and patience. Thank you to the Wireman family for being so amazing!  I look forward to working with you again!
