My top priority is to provide my clients with a wedding photography experience that is enjoyable, stress-free and focused on capturing the unique beauty of their special day. With my background as a former hair salon owner turned professional photographer, I have a deep appreciation for aesthetics and a discerning eye for capturing the most meaningful moments.
Working together with my fiancé Dana, we aim to provide a dynamic and respectful approach to our photography that perfectly captures the essence of the occasion. With over 12 years of experience in the wedding industry, I have refined my craft and approach to ensure that our clients feel comfortable, relaxed, and fully present in every moment of their special day.
As a female-male team, we strive to offer a harmonious and balanced approach to our photography, ensuring that we capture the unique love story of our clients in an authentic and respectful way. We take great care to curate a collection of images that convey the emotion and sentiment of the occasion, while also offering a candid and adventurous perspective.
When choosing a wedding photographer, it is important to find someone who understands your unique needs and vision for your special day. That is why I offer a no-obligation call to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.

LIFESTYLE
I specialize in capturing unique and genuine connections between families. My approach goes beyond simply taking pictures - I strive to create an experience that allows families to relax, have fun, and be themselves in front of the camera.
Capturing your family legacy through family pictures is incredibly important for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to preserve memories and document your family's history, which can be passed down to future generations. These pictures serve as a tangible reminder of the special moments and milestones in your family's journey, helping to keep those memories alive for years to come.
Additionally, family pictures can help to strengthen the bond between family members. By capturing and celebrating the unique connections and personalities within your family, you are creating a visual representation of your love and support for one another. This can be especially meaningful during times of change or difficulty, as looking back at family pictures can provide a sense of comfort and reassurance.
Finally, family pictures can simply bring joy and happiness to your everyday life. Displaying these pictures around your home or sharing them with loved ones can help you feel more connected and grateful for the people in your life. Overall, capturing your family legacy through family pictures is a wonderful way to celebrate and honor the importance of family in your life.

BRANDING
Do you want to connect deeper with your audience? Do you want to tell your story, stand out by sharing what makes you unique, as well as scale your business in an authentic way showcasing exactly who you are? Then it's time to look legit and get some on-brand images to truly represent YOU. We can shoot everything from your headshots to your workspace to the products or services that you provide...and the creative process between it all. Let’s use this time to elevate the person behind the business and what sets them apart from all the other businesses. I work closely with clients to lay out outfits, locations, the shot list, props, and anything additional to really bring the vibe of the shoot into alignment with what you want to create.
You are what makes your business unique, so in order to attract your dream clients and stand out in your niche you need to communicate your authenticity and professionalism through your photographs and the imagery that represents you.
After your branding shoot, you will have a gallery of custom, cohesive images to pull from and use throughout your social media, website, and all your marketing needs as well.

MEET YOUR
HI! I'M JANINE DEANNA
My dad gave me my first camera in my teens, and that single gesture shaped the way I see the world. Through a lens, I learned that moments, fleeting and fragile, could be held onto, preserved, revisited. Life moves forward, time doesn’t pause, but photographs? They let us return. They become proof that we were here, that we loved, that we lived.
I believe photographs are the fabric of life. Their value only deepens with time. They are the first things we reach for when we lose someone we love or when we simply want to remember, who we were, who we’ve become, and the spaces in between.
I see the unspoken connection, the way hands find each other, the way laughter lingers just before a smile fades, the subtle tenderness in a glance. These are the moments I live to capture. Family photography, for me, isn’t just about portraits, it’s about legacy. It’s about capturing a chapter of your story, one that will be passed down through generations, a thread in the tapestry of your family’s history.
Even after 15 years behind the camera, I still get emotional, because after losing my own dad, I understand the weight of these images. I know what it means to hold onto a moment, to be able to reach for it when you need it most.
And I know this matters to you, too.
My clients get it.
They recognize the importance of documenting the seasons of their family’s growth, not just for now, but for the future.
I also know that standing in front of a camera can feel vulnerable. I’ve been there. That’s why I create an experience that feels natural, effortless, even fun. You don’t need to worry about how to pose, what to do with your hands, or whether your smile feels forced, I’ve got you. I’ll guide you, adjust the details, and fine-tune the little things that make a big difference, so you can simply show up and be yourself.
Nothing brings me more joy than hearing, “You captured us, our essence, our connection, our love.” Those tiny smirks, the way your child tucks into your shoulder, the knowing glance between lifelong partners, these are the moments that tell your story.
The unspoken language of love, trust, joy, and everything in between.
Photography is my way of witnessing life’s quiet magic. It’s my privilege to be invited in, to see you as you are, and to preserve what matters most.
Let's capture your story together,
Janine Deanna

I am genuinely and completely pleased and thankful for the photos that you captured during our wedding and afterward.
You did an amazing job of capturing that day exactly as I had hoped. What you managed to do was to see us as we see ourselves, a little silly, adventurous, smiling, caring, and loving; a little bit of chaos and a touch of class.
The candid nature of many of the photos is so special to me. I believe that it is in these most unaware photos that we are able to see the genuine nature of the emotion, whatever it may be. On that day what you captured in photos was 'us' and I can not thank you enough for having the vision to 'see' in this way.
I appreciate that you took charge when needed and at other times just let us play. The interactions that you had with myself and the families were great. The jokes, the directions, a little bit of silliness, and enough attitude and sass to fit right in. You are awesome! I will definitely be sharing our experience with others and encouraging them to get in touch with you when they want someone cool to hang out with, that also just happen to take great pictures!"
CLIENT LOVE NOTES
-
How long have we been shooting weddings and how many do we shoot each year?I have been shooting wedding since 2009 and with an average of 15-20 weddings each season, we have had the privilege of shooting well over 250 weddings so far!
-
What’s in our camera bags:I am a Cannon Girl - with top of the line gear for all occasions and situations. Right now I shoot primary with my Canon R5 and 1Dx Mark ii - and lean towards an 85mm and 35mm as my go to glass.
-
What happens if we get rained out on the wedding day?Mother Nature can be unpredictable and such a downer sometimes! With this in mind, I encourage all my couples to have CLEAR...not black, but CLEAR umbrella’s for them to use on the wedding day. Each couple should have their own umbrella. Example; if there are 12 in total (including the couple) then buy 7 umbrellas (1 extra in case) and then keep the tags on and the receipt handy in case you don't use them and can return them!
-
Do I shoot destination weddings?Oh YES!! I absolutely LOVE shooting destination weddings and my passports is always on standby! I shoot a selected number of destination weddings each season and am always looking to expand the places on the globe I can visit! At the top of my list is Croatia,Ireland, and Greece!
-
How long does it take to get your gallery delivered?It depends on which month you get married, but typically you can expect to see your full gallery within a 6-8 week window. A small batch of teasers come within 1-2 days.
-
How many images do we deliver for e-sessions?On average 75
-
What is a first look and should we be doing one?A "first look" at a wedding is a special moment where the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony. It is typically a private moment, often arranged by the wedding photographer, where the couple can share an intimate moment and take some pictures before the ceremony begins. The first look is becoming increasingly popular as couples look for ways to make their wedding day more personal and intimate. It can be a beautiful and emotional moment, and a great way to calm nerves and set the tone for the rest of the day. 75% of the weddings we shoot are using the First Look Timeline. This is 100% a personal choice and one that I can walk you through in more detail if you'd like!
-
How much time do we need for pictures throughout the day?This is extremely subjective and unique to each couple and their wedding day details and logistics. One of our favourite parts of the wedding photography process is to work with our couples to create the perfect timeline! After booking, we set up a video call. On the call we go through all the details you already have, identify the logistics and then design a timeline around your details, The timeline will include flexibility, fluidity and buffer times in a way that helps our couples to FEEL PRESENT during the day and not rushed and anxious about moving from one thing to the next .
-
Do your prices include tax?No, our prices do not include tax the same way that when you look at a price tag at a store, the tax will be added at the register. All prices are subject to GST as per Alberta Law.
-
How many images will I get?On average, we estimate around 75 images per hour of shooting (approx 750 - 800 ish for a full day wedding with 2 photographers); sometimes more sometimes less. We try not to give a guaranteed number of images because it varies wildly from wedding to wedding. Numbers depend on how much time we’re shooting (traveling being considered), the number of details you require to be photographed, the number of locations we travel to and the amount of time we have at each spot. Also, we really have to consider in the cooperation and organization of the subjects we are photographing .
-
Can we bring our dog(s) to our pictures?From one fur child-parent to another, YES, YOU CAN! I LOVE my dog and he's such a huge part of our lives, so I get 100% wanting to have them as part of the pictures too! I have even created a PUPPY PREP-PDF for anyone bringing their puppy so that we can make it as awesome as possible!
-
Colour or Black & White?We use our discretion as to whether we process an image in colour or black and white. Some things just don’t look good in colour but black and white is breathtaking. Approximately 90-95% of the images are in colour and about 5-10% are in black and white, at our discretion.
-
What forms of payment do you accept?We accept email money transfer (preferred) as well as credit card. There is a 3% service fee for CC payments.
-
Can I just book an engagement session?Yup! You sure can. A la carte engagement sessions are available with me, Janine and I'd love to chat with you about bringing your E-Session vision to reality! This is where you can have a lot of fun and really highlight your personalities as much as you want to through locations, outfits, pets, etc.
-
Can I print my photos myself?Absolutely - you sure can! We give our clients full print release for personal use. Display them and share them however you'd like! The only exclusions are any reproduction for commercial or promotional use.
