Meet the Business Owner

Janell M.

Business Owner

At the age of 16 Janell knew she wanted to be an artist. She was fascinated with the creative processes of photography and painting. She loved spending time painting, drawing and creating photographs in a traditional black and white darkroom.

During her senior year of college she had her first gallery show of fine art hand painted mural photographs combining painting and black and white photography as well as a selection of her portrait work. Janell received her Bachelors degree in Art from Southern Oregon University where she studied fine art photography, painting, and jewelry design.

The pursuit of her creative career led her to the Los Angeles area and soon after, she met her husband Mike and moved to Pasadena. In 1991 she started her own fine art photography business creating portraits of families, children and expectant mothers. She loves to collaborate with her subject to create a personal storytelling portrait and cherishes her time creating art in her garden studio.
