Twenty-four years later, Janie is based in Bozeman with her husband and two children and photographs regularly for national titles and commercial clients.
Janie's images have been featured in The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine,
The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, NBC News, Travel + Leisure, Getty, BBC, Associated Press, Food & Wine, and others.
