Atlanta Photographer Janet Howard

The person behind the camera

Hi! Im Janet.

I'm fascinated by people. I feel like the luckiest person in the world, because my job allows me to meet people and learn about their stories. I basically get to document love, and that's something I feel grateful for every day.

For me, photography isn't about technical perfection. While I love finding great light and framing an image just right, the real magic happens when that beauty is paired with genuine connection. When a photo captures not just what you look like, but who you are. When it captures the unique connection and bond between people, and when your personalities shine through.

I believe...

Real is better than "perfect".

Playing is better than posing.

The best way to get a genuine smile is

to actually have a good time.

It's better to be a lot early than a little late.

Planning and preparation make for an easier day.
