Hi, I’m Janet
I have a pretty great job.
I have the privilege of creating art for families.
My favourite part of the job? Seeing my client’s best moments come to life in an image and delivering the printed artwork so our clients can enjoy their photos every day up on their walls.
Moments Photography Canberra was established in 2014. Since then, I’ve poured my heart and soul into this truly rewarding career of capturing memories.
Along the way, I’ve become an Accredited Professional Photographer with the Australian Institutes of Professional Photographers and have received awards for my work.
My point of pride in my business has been to become a trusted family friend to my clients.
We have the honour of watching families grow.
Get in touch to see how we can make your pregnancy, newborn and family photo dreams come true. You truly have a life worth documenting.
we believe in
- Capturing your journey
- Creating pieces of art for your home
- The unexpected, in between moments
- Providing a full, personalised experience
Our Team
Janet
FINE ART NEWBORN SPECIALIST
Janet is your family and newborn baby portrait photographer who specialises in capturing fine art photography for our families.
She is a mother of two rambunctious girls who are her inspiration – the feeling is mutual though as they often claim they want to be a photographer just like Mummy!
Janet often changes her hair to different colours of the rainbow (purple being her favourite).
Janet’s goal with every photo session is to create an unforgettable experience for your whole family – one that will be treasured forever with artful portraits that are full of true, authentic moments!
Janet is our resident doughnut temptress and you can always rely on her to lure you down the path of indulgent eating. Her caffeinated drink of choice is anything lactose and sugar-free. Coke Zero always wins the day!
Mallie
Limited Edition Mini Session Specialist
Mallie is the person who greets you with a burst of “Good morning sunshine!” and makes your life run smoothly with her calm, clear head and endless energy.
She’s our first point of contact at Moments Photography Canberra, you’ll likely talk to her on the phone when booking in.
TELL ME MORE
Mallie is a pet lover from the US that moved to Canberra, Australia, to marry her long-distance love.
After losing her husband in 2017, she started raising awareness for organ and tissue donation.
Mallie is a pet-loving animal whisperer who has fostered easily over 90 cats and kittens.
She has five furry friends of her own – a three-legged dog and four kitties. She’s our little ray of sunshine, and we’re so lucky to have her.
Mallie loves the water – especially being on or near it – so much so that she dreams of living on a boat someday. Her caffeinated drink of choice is two large Monster energy drinks in the morning.
