    Incredible

    Janea did an absolutely wonderful job with our wedding photography! She was very attentive to detail and made sure we got all the shots we were hoping for! Her personality make you feel at ease and helps you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would highly recommend her. I have gotten so many compliments on the sneak peak photos so far. She was able to coordinate with a tight schedule and allow for space between the wedding events to enjoy the moments. Thank you so much!!!

    Our favorite vendor

    Words can't explain how amazing Shutter and Stone is. We had them for both our engagement photos and wedding photos and they were so accommodating, so fun to work with, and are so talented. By far, our favorite vendor at our wedding. They know all the mountain shots and have an eye for the most beautiful areas, and were so professional. 100% recommend, you will never be disappointed. We love you guys!

    These women are so amazing to work with. We wanted to take pictures up in the National Park for our wedding and they knew right where those should be taken and they turned out amazing. Our pictures are beautiful and they were more than accommodating to any request that we had. I highly highly recommend that you make them apart of your big day!!!

    Janea Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Rebecca!! We are officially obsessed with the two of you and your magical day. <3 <3 <3

    Amazing Wedding Day

    We had the wonderful good fortune of having selected Shutter & Stone Photography for our summer time destination wedding. We were traveling from Florida to Colorado for our outdoor mountain wedding. We began our search for vendors online followed by phone calls. Kate made us feel very relaxed on the phone and we favored her photos online over many others we had looked through. Her and Janea were fantastic. We selected the option of a pre-ceremony "first look" shoot earlier in the day located inside the RMNP. They were open to any suggestions or requests we had for specific photos of us and our guests. They were very professional and encouraging in their direction to achieve so many amazing photos we will cherish forever. They were fun, energetic, and creative. Would 100% use them again for any special event or occasion.

    From the beginning our experience with Janea and Kate has been beyond amazing! Our engagement photo session was more fun than I could have imagined and the photos were beautiful. The girls were so accommodating with our scheduling during the day of the wedding and made sure we captured every the special moment with our families before the ceremony. Our families loved them and told me afterwards they thought they were long time friends of ours lol, that is how amazing their service was and we could not be more grateful for all the wonderful memories we had that day and the gorgeous photos they captured!!

    Janea Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you! Thank you! We love you both and totally consider you old friends :). Spending the engagement session and your gorgeous wedding day with you was a dream come true. <3 <3 <3

    There are not enough words in the dictionary to convey just how absolutely amazing Janea, of Shutter and Stone Photography, is!!!!! I did a ridiculous amount of research, trying to decide on a photographer, from Chicago to Estes Park, and it paid off. Her prices are very reasonable. I dare say even too low for, not only the quality of work you receive, but also for the tranquility you feel. Not only is Janea incapable of taking a bad picture, but every one of them looks as though it’s from the pages of a high end magazine! She has a great eye, fresh ideas, and such raw talent! From the moment I first contacted her via Facebook, all the way until we received our finished product, I felt a sense of peace with her. I knew I was in good hands. She listened to EVERYTHING I had to say, and legitimately cared; She took the time to get to know us; She was very accommodating; She made suggestions, but didn’t make us feel obligated to go those routes; And this was all before ever meeting her! Such commitment!!! When it came time for the actual shoot, it couldn’t have been anymore perfect! Most women are ridiculously hard on themselves. I’m no exception. My self esteem is so low, it’s scary sad, which is why there are few pictures of me in the world. Janea made all of that disappear! She made me feel comfortable in my own skin, she made me feel relaxed, she made it fun...Honestly, it was like hanging out with an old childhood friend. Everyone was truly smiling (not those fake smiles), and you could see it in our eyes! Even my teenage sons!!! Anyone who has teenage sons, knows they don’t smile for anything...LOL. My “special” three year old son, she was beyond patient with him, and he ended up falling in love with her! She handled my crazy crowd with such ease, never breaking a sweat. Janea has such a beautiful soul, and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the priceless memories she provided my family!!!

    The day we spent with Janea for our pictures was a really fun and uplifting day! She was casual in a way that made it feel like we were just hanging out with a friend, but also very professional in her work.

    Janea was an absolute joy to work with- she went above and beyond to make our family photos a great experience. We try to take family photos every year on vacation and these are still our very favorites (even after this year's in front of the Eiffel Tower! Still love Janea's more). The quality of work Janea produces is unmatched, her delivery is speedy, and she is the sweetest person to work with. As a blogger, I work with a ton of photographers and I can honestly say Janea is the best.

    Janea Smith Photography's reply:

    Brittany! Thank you so very much for your sweet words! Your session will forever been one of my all time favorites! <3 <3

    Janea is the absolute BEST in the business. She took the time to listen to what we wanted, shot with confidence and made us fall in LOVE with her and her work. You will not be disappointed! Can't wait to book her for my kid's weddings in the future!

    Janea is the best photographer, hands down. She traveled all the way to Utah for our wedding. She has amazing skills taking photos in the mountains! Even when we were hit with 15 inches of unexpected snow, Janea was able to capture the moment and got some of the most magical photos. Not only is Janea a fabulous photographer, she's also a genuinely sweet person. She spent time with me on the phone helping develop wedding plans, timeline, and was probably the most helpful person when it came to actually planning the day. Do not hesitate to book her for your photos - she is wonderful!

    Janea Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Alisyn! I wish I could photograph your amazing friends and family and gorgeous day every year. You and Anthony were such an amazing couple and I will forever be grateful for the amazing memories we made and the gorgeous photos we captured!! xxx

    Janea was truly awesome. We had a wonderful time with our shoot. Janea is very energetic and positive. She kept us engaged throughout the shoot which helped us get great shots. She was wonderful working with our four dogs and was incredibly patient. We will definitely use Janea in the future. Great job!!!

    After hearing about Janea Smith Photography through old friends from high school that we happened to run into on date night all the way in Michigan, we knew it was meant to be! Janea was absolutely AMAZING throughout the whole experience. Planning our elopement in the Rocky Mountains from across the U.S. was a lot hard than we thought it would be but with the help of Janea everything turned out so beautifully! She recommended everything from where to stay in Estes Park, where to elope and even the best places to eat on our wedding night. She drove us to the most beautiful places around Rocky Mountain National park and took absolutely gorgeous photos and even told us about some of the history there ♥ She went above and beyond what we ever expected and really helped to make our day special. Thank you so much for everything you did for us! :)

    Janea is amazing. We had never done professional pictures before and hadn’t met Janea until moments before we eloped in RMNP. It could not have been a better experience!! If you’re Googling random photographers in Estes Park like I was, you found your girl!! I was able to tell her the silly things about my body I’m self conscious about, and she made sure to pose me how I’d be happy. I LOVE ALL OF OUR SHOTS (and never in a million years thought I would say that!). She also made us feel super comfortable. We were expecting it to be so awkward, but nope! It was awesome.

    Having Janea capture our engagement pictures was easily one of the best decisions we could of made! We absolutely love every one of our photos and will cherish them forever. Not only is Janea's work incredible, but she is so enjoyable to work with. Having met her only moments before our session, it seemed like we had been lifelong friends! Janea made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera, and most of all we had so much fun!! I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much Janea!

    The BEST photographer!!

    Janea is one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with! We were lucky enough to have her shoot our maternity photos and our newborn photos. She took the time to listen to the style we wanted for each and matched her photos exactly with what we wanted. I am going to cherish these photos forever thanks to her. Do not hesitate to reach out to her. She will make you feel comfortable and take pictures that sum up what you want perfectly. She is absolutely amazing!!

    Janea goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot! You will not be disappointed choosing her to capture this special time in your life. She’s a joy to be around and makes you feel like a “natural”, even if you feel uncomfortable in front of the lense! I couldn’t recommend her enough!

    Janae was a godsend that made our wedding a magical day. She was flexible with us having to change the wedding date due to snow, and you all the best spots for us to take pictures. She was very helpful and cheerful which made everything go better.

    We hit the jackpot when we found you! As the kids get older it is so hard to get good family pics and you did such an amazing job! The backdrop was incredible and your patience and skills ensured we have images that I will treasure all my life! We could not be happier and we will certainly be having you take more pictures for us again!

    Wow. What a great photographer and a wonderful person. She pays attention to every detail and then some. When it comes to Photography in the mountains and beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park you cannot go wrong with Janea. Senior photographs, couples pictures and weddings. I have seen awesome work from her. She has helped us with multiple sittings.
