Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

my philosophy: elevate

Your Vision

Hi again! It’s me Janea! ...Just to be clear I don’t just take pictures; my goal is to create memorable photoshoot experiences that resonate and leave a lasting impression. My heart explodes when I get the opportunity to team up with you to elevate your vision. There is something so special and important to me about connecting with my clients and working together to perfectly create photos that are both stunning and uniquely yours.


We recently relocated to West Arvada and I primarily shoot in Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and Boulder CO - however I’m available worldwide! And, as a near-lifelong local of Estes Park, Colorado, I have a huge place in my heart for capturing photographs with big mountain views and an adventurous story. I'm a dog-loving, wine-drinking, creative-minded foodie with a soul that THRIVES in the mountains. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me on a trail with my two golden puppies or planning my next adventure with my honey.


Take a look around, and let's get to know each other! I can't wait to hear your story and capture moments that make your heart skip a beat.

Alta, Utah Wedding

A winter wonderland wedding in Alta, Utah! INCHES upon INCHES of snowfall couldn’t dampen the joy and beauty ​of this unforgetable wedding day at the most beautiful ski resort outside of Park City, Utah.

Estes Park Micro-Wedding

The most magical Micro-Wedding in Estes Park surrounded by closest friends and family. This beautiful couple ​exchanged vows along the river with their closest after a dreamy first look and romantic photo session in RMNP!

Adventure Proposal

Months of planning led to a 7 mile hike in Indian Peaks Wilderness with a surprise proposal, cider toasts and the ​most romantic golden hour evening session in Rocky Mountain National Park to follow.

Testimonials that Speak Volumes

My Janea Smith Photography clients’ satisfaction is the heartbeat of my business. I asked clients to share ​what being in front of my camera was like and are some of the kind words from these amazing humans:

Quotation Mark

“We live over 500 miles away and still choose Janea for our photos whenever we can. She is truly an expert at her craft, making what can be a stressful experience fun and easy, while also capturing the most amazing pictures you could imagine. She has photographed my partner and I before we were engaged, the proposal, wedding, and our latest was a family session with our son. I look at the beautiful pictures she’s taken of us every day and it never gets old."

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!!!"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How early should I contact you if I’m planning my wedding?

A: Ideally, I recommend wedding clients reach out at least 8-12 months before your big day. This timeframe allows us to schedule your engagement session plan each timeline detail meticulously.

Q: Do you photograph destination weddings?

A: Yes, I do! Destinations both state-side and world wide! We can work out the specific details but to give you a general idea destination wedding packages include travel arrangements, and accommodations for 2. I always bring an assistant.

Q: Do you offer “mini” session options?

A: I do! I used to do them more regularly but for the life and longevity of my business and the cost of equipment and business expenses I will be announcing special dates in 2024 where I offer a full day of mini’s both in stuido and outdoors!

Q: What is your cancellation and refund policy?

A: My cancellation policy is outlined in our contract. Generally, I require a notice period for cancellations. To reserve your date I require a non-refundable retainer. The refund amount may depend on how close to the event date the cancellation occurs.

Q: Do you offer a style guide for photoshoots?

A: I am more than happy to provide you with my style guide upon booking your session! I totally understand that this can be overwhelming. But not to worry! I love working with clients on colors and textures, especially since I know what the camera loves!

Q: Do you help in the planning process of Proposals?

A: YES! I am here to help through the entire planning process, and I have a ton of incredible locations that you can chose from. Are you an adventerous couple? Great, let's plan your proposal in a dreamy location! I’ll help you with all of the little details along the way!

Q: How many locations are included in my photoshoot?

A: Depending on where your session takes place, and which option you chose your photoshoot can have 1-3 different locations. If that’s what you’re looking for I recommend doing a session in Rocky Mountain National Park where the potential backdrops are endless!
