She took all factors into consideration and waited for the best light to get a natural setting.

Janet is a magician!! She is kind and patient and so talented.
My experience with Janet couldn’t have been better! She has serious passion and talent for photography; is so kind and understood my vision perfectly from the start. During the shoot, her and Candee quickly made me feel super comfortable and it actually became so fun to see their excitement and encouragement throughout the shoot. Her photo studio is a very cool and comfortable environment! Turnaround time was much quicker than I had expected. I highly recommend Planet Photo!
This was incredible! My team at Casa O Marketing did a brand shoot with Janet recently, and we were blown away! We needed photos for our new website and our social media rebrand. As a marketing team we know how important it is to showcase the right image to your clients, this photo shoot was exactly what we needed. Janet took the time to ask about our brand colors, helped with outfit selection, and posses. We’re behind the scenes people so we thought it would be harder to get our personalities across, but Janet managed to do that and more! We now have professional photos for our website, our branding material and our social media! Couldn’t be happier, I recommend this to all business owners. Thank you Janet!
