About Janet
I’ve been working as a professional photographer for 20+ years and love teaching aspiring photographers. My specialty is portraiture and candid event photography. I am the photographer for the travel book, 111 Places in Milwaukee That You Must Not Miss and I’m currently working on a documentary series showcasing the people and businesses of Milwaukee. For fun, I love to experiment with pinhole cameras, Polaroid film, and lomography (Holga or Diana). If you’re interested in Souping, Cross-Processing film or slides, or any other alternative film processing, let’s talk!

Do you have a Nikon camera but aren’t quite sure how to use it? Do you often feel let down by the images you capture? Learn how to easily move from Program mode to Manual mode so you can make dynamic pictures you’re proud of. We’ll go over each setting on your camera so you understand how to use white balance, ISO, aperture, shutter speed and more to get great results that look professional and polished. I can also tutor you in Lightroom (editing is required with digital images) so please inquire. I Look forward to helping you!

Perfect! I had an amazing experience learning photography with Janet. She was incredibly patient and took the time to explain things in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Even the more technical aspects felt approachable because of how well she broke everything down.
What I appreciated most was that she didn't rush through anything—she made sure I really understood each concept before moving on. Her passion for photography really shows, and is making the learning process enjoyable and inspiring.
I walked away feeling much more confident with my camera and excited to keep practicing. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your progress and takes the time to teach at your pace, I can’t recommend her enough!Perfect! Great knowledge about cameras, super helpful and would definitely schedule another session!

Perfect! Janet was wonderful! I am a super beginner and she was very patient and explained everything in terms that I would understand.

Perfect! I really like Janet and her way of teaching me about my camera. I am a true beginner with a camera a pro might use. Janet explains things clearly and in a logical way. We've only had 3 sessions together but I've already learned a lot and have taken some good photos!
