Photographer: Janine R Pearman

My name is Janine Pearman.  Photography became part of my life over 30+ years ago because I have a passion for helping people capture memories, and seeing the beauty and uniqueness of who they are.  I specialize in photographing all family members with two and four legs.  My attention to detail is why I was chosen for drama productions and sports. My love for animals and life long journey with them, allows them to feel at peace and make it possible to capture their joy on camera.

I have worked with different schools and businesses as well as individuals to help each of them capture memorable pictures of moments and events. I have photos that have appeared in Better Self Magazine, various publications and photos that have been used for professional and business websites and social media. I have worked as a private photographer for families for events, sports, special events and worked with families from engagement to youngest child getting married. Photos have been used for art prints, calendars, sport sites, commercial work, photos used in business videos, I had the privilege of shooting at the Georgia Dome and working on marketing and layouts for a fashion designer. I have photos that are in publications for different breeds. I shoot at Updog, NADD dock diving, AKC agility, Nose Work and PSA events, just to mention a few. I am known for my vogue shoots with two and four legged models. Have worked with animals both trained and and limited to no training.

I have worked with animals all my life and have a true love for the importance they bring to the world and our lives. I work with trained and untrained animals and I get images that reflect the love and joy these special relationships are on film. I photograph models with two or four legs. I am unique from other photographers in Georgia and very rare for the United States, in that I work with the two and four legged models together and specialize in finding what will be a true form of art filled with beauty and love of them together. For me they are not “pets” but family members.

Although I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Information Systems I have continued to pursue many areas in the artistic world. As an artist I have also worked in every medium except clay,  I've etched glass, carved wood, painted murals, worked on mixed media, and more. I have worked as a singer with bands and praise teams and enjoy participating in the arts in drama productions. These experiences have added to my photography.

I strive to help others see and feel how divinely and wonderfully made they are -- and show the uniqueness and beauty they bring to our lives. I have found whether I am capturing an image of someone's family home, the beauty of gardens and landscapes, small memorable events, professional business images, capturing the owners and their amazing animals in competitions, the love of a family four and two legged or the simple beauty of a child sleeping, that it is incredible to see the marvelous creation come to life in front of the camera.

My mission is to help families, businesses and individuals have memories and keepsakes that really represent them and show their "marvelous impressions" presented to world and to me.

My incredible husband, two amazing children, beautiful grandchild and my dogs have shown me through the years how important family and memories are,  and I thank them for their love and support to continue to inspire me to follow this dream.  I would like to give an extra thank you to my husband of over thirty five years for his love and support at home and for his help as an assistant at photo shoots and as a videographer.

A special thanks to Lisa Webb and Bob Stewart for their wisdom, love and support in moving forward in a photography business and following the plan God has for me.

Above all, I would like to thank God for making this possible and shining His light on this journey.

I look forward to working with you and helping in capturing those memories.

 Sincerely,

Janine R Pearman
