Hey
I’m Janina
a New Hampshire–based dance and branding, photographer who’s passionate about capturing people in their most expressive, confident, and real moments.
I’m a New England native and I still call it home today. Former dancer & proudly Hispanic (sí, se habla español!) and the only girl in a family of five kids two older brothers and two younger ones, which probably explains why I learned early how to hold my own, adapt quickly, and find joy in the chaos.
I’m a millennial through and through, a proud 90s baby who knows how to have a good time and doesn’t take life too seriously. I picked up a camera at 18, invested in my own at 24, and what started as curiosity slowly grew into something much bigger. Before photography became my full-time path, I was in nursing, a chapter that shaped how I show up for people and why connection has always been at the heart of what I do. These days, I’m building a life and business rooted in creativity, community, and experiences that feel honest, intentional, and real.
intentionally guided
Working with me is simple, encouraging, and
Outside of the camera, here’s a little more about me:
• I lived in Guatemala and speak Spanish
• I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• I graduated from BYU-Idaho with a degree in Health Science and Dance
• I’m the only girl in a house full of brothers
• Favorite cereal: Froot Loops (no shame)
• Favorite food: anything Italian
• Favorite board game: Clue
• I love to travel
• Bucket list trips: New Zealand and Italy
I believe your life deserves to be documented with intention. Not perfectly. Not performatively. Just honestly.
I’ve spent most of my life around movement, creativity, and people who care deeply about what they do. As a former dancer and photographer, I understand what it feels like to put yourself out there and want the result to actually reflect who you are. My approach is thoughtful, observant, and rooted in connection
I pay attention, I slow things down, and I create space for people to show up as themselves. Even in seasons where creativity feels quieter, I believe there’s value in honesty, intention, and growth, and that’s what I bring into every session.
I believe in creating a space where:
✨ You feel comfortable and taken care of
✨ You know exactly what to expect
✨ You can be creative, expressive, and authentically yourself
✨ You walk away with images that feel like you
the one documenting life.
