Your New Jersey-based photographer specializing in creative portraits, family sessions, couples photography, and professional headshots.

Hi, My name is Janet Mendez...

Portrait Photographer

As an NJ-based portrait photographer, my love for capturing life's most meaningful moments has been nearly a decade in the making. What started as a young curiosity behind the camera quickly became a lifelong passion.

Whether we're creating bold, vibrant portraits or capturing the raw emotion of a family gathering, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel authentically, unmistakably you.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."

Photography That Actually Feels Good


Let's be real. Getting professional photos taken can feel like a special kind of awkward. I get it - I've been on both sides of the lens.


My approach isn't about perfect poses—it's about creating a relaxed environment where you can actually be yourself. No forced smiles. No uncomfortable awkward moments. Just genuine connection and images that make you feel confident, seen, and absolutely amazing.

Testimonials

Justine F.

"My husband and I booked Janet to capture photos for our 10 year wedding anniversary and we are so happy we chose her! From the moment we booked her, she made sure she knew what we wanted from our photos and she delivered. She came prepared with other poses we could try so that we had direction and guidance during our photoshoot.

And then of course, she captured the most beautiful, timeless photos that represented our love so accurately. Working with Janet was such a wonderful experience!"
