I had the privilege of working with Janice for a boudoir photoshoot. It has been something I have always wanted to do but skeptical of what the experience would be like. From the beginning, I was immediately comfortable. The process was clearly explained and the amount of communication I received to assure me that it would be a positive experience was above and beyond. Janice really took the time to get to know me and the images I wanted captured. She was personable, easy to talk to, and professional. Her makeup artist Nicole had the same energy as well and listened to what I wanted and worked some incredible magic. The entire experience from beginning to end was one of the best days of my life and my images are far more amazing than what I could have imagined. If you are the fence about doing something like this, please don't hesitate to contact Janice. She goes out of her way to make this such a special experience!! It is worth it!

I recently achieved my Doctoral Degree and wanted to capture this time with a graduation photo shoot. I had the most amazing afternoon celebrating my accomplishments with confidence and glamour. Janice was absolutely magical and I literally can't thank her enough for empowering me to get such perfect timeless photos. Every woman deserves a DIVA photo day!

Absolutely amazing shoot! We felt super comfortable and Janice was so patient and made sure she got the right shots. Her makeup artist Nicole does tremendous work. Highly recommend & can’t wait to do another shoot!

If you are looking for a photographer who captures the essence of your beauty, both inside and out then look no further. In fact, to call her a photographer is a disservice as she is so much more. Janice is an artist with an eye for detail and it shows. She is a master of poses and brings out the best in you and/or your children. Nestled in a converted garage of her home is a uniquely decorated studio full of back drops, props, clothing, drapes, lighting and so much more. Before you visit for your photo shoot Janice has already learned about you, your likes and your wishes. She does her homework and has everything at the ready when you arrive. We have completed two of our four scheduled shoots at this point in time. We never feel rushed. In fact both shoots lasted for about 7 hours each. The second shoot involved us and a 3 week old baby. Her patience and care of the baby was remarkable. I do not believe she ever took a break to sip a drink or go to the bathroom. We had her undying attention. The result is the most magnificent set of pictures you could ever imagine. Once completed, they are all presented to you via a slide show also set up in her studio. Pictures are subtly tweaked with Photoshop to your liking. Dramatic is an understatement of her artistry. My father had an expression that good meat ain’t cheap and cheap meat ain’t good. The same applies to Janice. If you are looking for a standard smile and pose with your chin on your arms, look further as this is not your choice. Consider this to be your magazine shoot. You will come out looking like a movie star. It is the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. Although pictures are just a quick snapshot in time, they forever live in printed form, passed on through the generations. Your family will cherish her works of art. We certainly do.

Janice is a photographer like no other, really. She stands out in multiple ways. The quality of her photographs is beyond anything i could compare too. It’s the little details she pays attention to like a wrinkle in a fabric, or the writing in a diaper showing through. It’s the angle of the photograph or how much light is coming through. She will literally take 15 minutes to get a pose for your newborn just right before she snaps the picture. She’s incredibly patient...waiting for them to calm from crying by giving them a pacifier, caressing their faces till they fall asleep or giving you time to feed them if necessary. It’s keeping her studio warm and quiet. The outfits she provides are exceptional! It’s things you see in the movies or on models that you wish you had. Beautiful, unique, soft, and most of all clean. She washes EVERYTHING in between clients and never gets bothered if your baby soils something of hers. As a person, she’s sweet, genuine, passionate and a complete joy to be around! She’s professional but also a human and relates to you on all levels. She provides snacks and beverages to keep you fueled during your shoot. She’s quality!!!!

My husband and I met with Janice for our first professional photo shoot and she was very warm and inviting as well as professional. I chose her to complete Beauty Portraits of my husband and I because I felt that her images captured the look I wanted to achieve. She took her time going through every possible pose with several wardrobe changes and added her own to the mix. When we were finished she offered us to take a look see but I trusted that she captured what we wanted and she did not disappoint. Definitely a Pro at her craft.

Lets be honest with each other, as the parent of a newborn, choosing a photographer for the new love of your life can be as daunting as the pre wedding process.
With that being said, we could not be happier with Janice in every facet of the process. Upon being greeted at her studio, she fed us and gave us something to drink. As a new parent believe me I will take all the carbs I can get. Since our little one was not cooperative at first Janice took the time and patience to chat with us while waiting for Rosemary to finish feeding. It does not take long to see how passionate Janice is and how much she loves her work.
Her studio is comfortable, quiet and feels like home. The picture quality and preparation were exceptional. I would highly recommend Janice Morse Portraits to anyone. :)
Janice Morse Portraits is simply the best. I am so happy I chose Janice to do both my maternity and newborn sessions. I live in central NJ and I did not like any photographers I found around here. After seeing Janice's amazing pictures online, I knew she was the one! We traveled to her and it was totally worth it. She was willing to listen to our input and work with us. After our sessions were completed, she gave us a preview of each session and my husband and I absolutely loved every single picture. In particular, for our newborn session, we were overwhelmed with everything (that being new parents entails!) and asked if Janice would travel to us, and she did. She did such a wonderful job, just using natural light in our living room. Janice had a special touch with our baby, and it transferred into the photographs. She also has so much knowledge about everything, and is very personable and approachable. She is the one to do any of your photography sessions -- and I am not easy to please. ;o)
It says a lot when you work with a maternity/child photographer 4 times already and your child is only a year and half old! I searched high and low for a maternity photographer and knew Janice was the one as soon as I saw her work! Working with Janice was like working with an old friend. She was open to working with my husband and I on a less traditional maternity shoot. She spent HOURS on an off site location over an hour from her studio and we even chatted it up afterwards. The results were beyond my expectations and I bought every last image! We later met up for a newborn, 6 month, and 1 year shoot for my daughter and I loved every minute of it. Janice has the natural ability to capture those life moments that pass all too quickly. I look forward to working with her on future shoots as I have no desire to look for another photographer. I secretly hope she is still is still working as a photographer many many years from now to shoot my daughter's wedding. Wouldn't it just be amazing to have the same newborn and wedding photographer?! Overall, I give Janice Morse Portraits a 10/10 and highly recommend working with Janice for any and all who appreciate great photography!
Janice!!!! I meant to write you yesterday but the day got behind me with a fussy baby! The photos arrived and I was at a loss for words! The packaging was exquisite! Very classy and lovely! And the quality of the photos and seeing your creations come to life on paper had us speechless! Thank you for capturing such precious and priceless memories for us. Thank you for the voucher that was a thoughtful gesture I will definitely write a comment on FB and have already passed your name onto a few friends. Thanks again and hope to see you again in the future for pictures! All the best,
