I have some exciting news to share with all my cutie couples and future client friends! After years of capturing love stories from Des Moines and Southern Minnesota, Rebel Diamonds Studios is relocating to the Twin Cities! Living in the music-loving city has been a dream of mine for years, and I honestly can’t believe it’s happening. I couldn’t be more excited to bring my love for non-traditional wedding photography and filmmaking to my favorite place.

Why am I Relocating to the Twin Cities?

It was time! 99% of the work that I do in live music and with weddings/couples takes place in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs. Most of the community that my partner and I have are based there, as well, so it will be exciting to be closer to our friends and chosen family. Beyond that, my partner got a new job that requires us to live there, rather than in the smaller, more rural towns that we’ve been used to the past few years. We’re beyond excited for this change! For those of you who don’t know me yet, read on!

Documenting A True Reflection of You

I wholeheartedly believe that your relationship is valid and beautiful just the way it is. So your love should be captured in its most natural state, whatever that means for you (y’all get to decide!). I thrive in documenting your love and your day as authentically as possible. I’m not chasing trends over here – every moment, detail, and guest is important in my eyes.

I’m here to embrace whatever feels natural to you, your creativity, goofiness and sentimentality. Together, we’ll make your day the badass celebration it was meant to be and create a visual narrative of your love that speaks directly to your heart.

For the Sentimental Weirdos

I’m all about the couples who don’t give a damn about conformity. The ones who are crazy in love and are ready to celebrate in their own unique way. Whether you’re having a quick courthouse ceremony or throwing a huge party with all of your people, I’m down to document it all. As a lifetime storyteller, I can honestly tell you your wedding day is more than your photos or film; it’s about the countless moments and people that brought you to that day.

A Word From Our Sponsors (Clients)

“Janet is a wonderful photographer. She keeps everything light and fun and she is willing to work with you to make your day special. She goes above and beyond beforehand to make sure that everything is in line and that really does make a difference as to how smoothly our shoot went. We loved working with her!” – Julia + Jamie (elopement client)

“Janet makes the whole process so simple. We loved how well she fit in with everyone, the wedding party is still taking about how much they enjoyed having her there. While sometimes being filmed all day can be awkward, she made my partner and I so comfortable with the camera the whole time. I wish I could show everyone our video and let the quality speak for itself. The footage and sound is so clear and well put together.” – Hannah + Carter (wedding film client)

“Prior to the session I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted or needed, I just knew I wanted something authentic and not overly cheesy but still cute and still us. Janet’s goofy and laid back nature put truly authentic smiles on my partner and I’s faces – it made it hard to decide which photos were our favorites!” – Katelyn + Jesse (portrait client)
