“I oversaw Jannet as a bureau chief with the Ocala (FL) Star-Banner and believe her to be one of the best photo-journalists I ever worked with or supervised. Her job skills go well beyond being a photojournalist, though. She is also a great supervisor in her own right as I observed in her work at the Ocala Workforce Connection. I would strongly endorse Jannet to any employer that may consider hiring her.”

Susan Smiley-HeightEditor, Ocala Star-Banner/ NY Times Regional Media Group (colleague)“In my relationship with Jannet at the Ocala Star-Banner and that paper’s regional lifestyle magazine, “Life in the Heart of Florida,” I found her to be diligent, talented and passionate. Jannet is detail oriented and committed to excellence in her many pursuits and interests.” November 16, 2011

Tanya A. Goodman (client)Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Creative“I was a fan of Jannet Walsh’s photography before I became the Orlando Diocesan Editor for the “Florida Catholic” newspaper in 2005. Her photos were perfect illustrations of the stories. Many times her photos captured the event so perfectly, a story wasn’t needed. Jannet was so creative in her composition and expression. She helped make the newspaper award-winning. She was an editor’s dream -- not only was her photography excellent, she could write as well. One of the other things I most appreciated was her initiative. She knew her community well and would notify me of an upcoming event (even if she couldn’t take the assignment) or offer me photos from events she attended that had relevance to the Catholic community. The passion she had for her vocation, the love she had for her faith and community, resonated in her photography. Jannet related well to everyone allowing her to capture amazing photos of then Bishop Thomas Wenski, priests and religious, parishioners and farmworkers. The landscape photos -- whether capturing a mission church with the backdrop of the sky at dusk or candles illuminating the dark -- are my favorites. Jannet’s photos are memorable and continue to draw me in, even from a blog in Minnesota.” November 10, 2011
