more about janie

Maybe it started with my love of birthday parties, my big sister duties, or the disposable cameras I insisted on bringing with me everywhere.
Whatever the catalyst, I can honestly say I am living out my dream now as a wedding-crashing, newborn-snuggling, memory-making photographer. 

Your servant-hearted, down-to-earth, do-anything-to-make-you-smile photographer friend

Meet Janie

— Rosemary & Tom

She was so kind and helpful at calming my nerves when it rained on our wedding day. She was constantly looking at the weather radar and thinking on her feet. Despite the rain, we have so many lovely pictures from our wedding day!

“We're so happy we had Janie as our photographer.”

— The Zdon Family

She made taking portraits comfortable and fun. Our photos turned out amazing! Janie truly captured our family so well, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! I would recommend Janie Maki Photography for any of your photo needs!

“Janie is so talented, professional, and fun to work with! ”

— Morgan & Ryan

Every time we look back at our wedding photos, we find more pictures that we love. She even helped us create a timeline for our wedding day (we would have been lost otherwise!) and she made taking photos fun.

“We can't say enough good things about Janie!”

I create an uplifting, light-hearted experience so you can fully embrace the joy and fun.

Contagious Joy

I approach each wedding with a servant's heart so my couples feel confident, cared for, and celebrated. 

Selfless Service

With over 10 years of experience and hundreds of weddings under my belt, I’m ready for anything!
