About

 

Janette James, principal photographer at Tall Angel Portraits, is an award-winning photographer. Her images have been shown in galleries across the United States.

​

She is a lover of life and art.

​​

She always knew she loved children and has three of her own. What came as a surprise is that she also seems to be a lover of animals. She is still not sure how it happened, but she is also mother to a menagerie of animals: cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens, birds, and she is still hopeful goats will be added to the mix one day!

​

She has absolutely no sense of direction and will go left when she should go right (this seems to have been a metaphor for her life as well!), but surprisingly she has an uncanny ability to “see” beyond the surface when it comes to women and always knows what direction to go in when it comes her camera.. She can scan a face and know exactly what light will illuminate and accent the beauty that is radiating at her! ​

​

She loves to show women what they have never seen in themselves before!

 

She loves to photograph women of all ages and stages in their lives but she especially loves photographing women over 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and on. Janette being a woman herself, and over 50, has a camaraderie and kinship with women in the second half of their lives. No matter what your life's story is, you can't reach these years without a lot of struggle, many created by society and what society has demanded women be. Janette wants you to be able to journey into this phrase of your life seeing yourself in the way you want to see yourself and with love and fun!

​​

Photographing women makes Janette's life happy and joyful in a way no other “job” could for her.
