Purple Hippo Photography is the best kept secret at the beach! Janet is amazing to work with! I normally dread family pictures, but Janet put me at ease and made our entire session enjoyable!! The natural, not forced smiles that she captured from all 3 of my kids will be treasured on our walls and in albums forever! I can't thank Janet enough for her vision and amazing talent!

Janet is so very professional, kind, and patient. She has an amazing talent and is more than happy to take your own suggestions into consideration. Our family has enjoyed each of our sessions with her. Janet is absolutely amazing! Having her behind the camera just puts you at ease. Having four kids in 5 years I can say it is rare to get a good photo of everyone, but somehow she does it! She uses the light she has to her advantage and has truly captured the energy and emotion of each and every one of our children. We use her for family photos beginning and end of the school year photos and I've used her for business photos as well. She has been our photographer for 10 years and we couldn't be happier with the memories she has allowed us to forever have! She is top quality and highly recommended.

If you want the most beautiful, creative photos you have come to the right place. With Janet's skill with the camera and use of lighting and scenery everyone looks like a model. My two boy's graduation pictures are out if this world. Couldn't be happier. Beautiful work!!!

Purple Hippo Photography is amazing! It’s obvious that Janet is a unique talent by looking at her work, but what you can’t see is her warm and vibrant personality that immediately puts you at ease. She not only knows how to capture your best side, she brings it out as well through her encouraging words and positive attitude. She made my family’s experience so special and so enjoyable. The photographs turned out beautifully and I will treasure them always. Thank you, Janet!

Janet was absolutely wonderful to work with and our pictures turned out beautiful! My husband and I had a bad experience with our wedding photographer, so we were very happy to have such a great experience this time and look forward to working with Janet again in the future!
Krystal Seiz
Our family pictures are absolutely perfect! Janet has an eye for the perfect shot; her artistic ability is unmatched. Working with small children isn't always easy, but Janet had patience with my kids and even brought candy to entice them to smile at the camera. She captured their personalities and even got my overtired child to cooperate. We will most definitely use Purple Hippo Photography each time we visit the beach. Thank your for our wonderful portraits!
Carol Meitzer

Janet is a wonderful photographer. Her ability to do what she does under pressure ( lets face it most weddings are full of pressure) she kept a calm and captured the whole day! It was a beautiful day and I am thankful she was the photographer to capture the memories. Brandon and Audrey are lucky to have your photos.
Leah Dovellos
I love Purple Hippo Photography! I have chosen to use Janet twice with our family photos so far: our daughters 6 Month photos and just recently her 1 year photos. Janet is very patient and calm during the shoot and somehow captures amazing shots of our family even if my daughter doesn't cooperate! She is very creative and talented! When you choose Janet, you don't just get a photographer, you also get a graphic design artist too! The end results are always QUALITY photos that your family can cherish forever!
