Janna provided everything and more that I could ask for. I got engaged at Newton Winery and she did an outstanding job. This was during Covid as well and I had to keep in constant contact and had to reschedule multiple times. Through all this Janna was very responsive and very understanding. Everything I pictured our engagement to be, Janna captured it and had a team with her. She was very professional and captured everything I wanted. After a few days, I got the pictures back and they were absolutely GORGEOUS

Janna, I can't say enough! From your greeting me at the top of your staircase upon arrival, to the tour of your property, your hospitality made me feel so relaxed and happy, just the way I wanted to feel for taking my business headshot. Perfect example of you get what you pay for, thank you!

Best experience hands-down. Went on site with my family to capture the best photographs ever! Appreciated their attention to detail and flexibility in working with us -- coming to Napa from out of state. We love our family pictures!

Art & Clarity are hands down the best in the business within the world of professional photography. I've been a hotel executive and event producer in the Napa Valley for over 20 years so it's in my interest to associate with only the best vendor partners possible and that's why I work with Janna and Lowell. Collectively they possess the patience in selecting the most favorable environment in which to shoot, an incredible eye for detail and the most advanced, state of the art photographic equipment available.

From their impressive work shooting the covers of wine country magazines to their corporate and social event photo coverage, their work speaks for itself. Art & Clarity; nothing but the highest level of quality every time. Sean Dempsey, Sean Dempsey & Associates

Janna Waldinger and Lowell Downey are both amazing. Lowell photographed my son's Bar mitzvah. He captured beautiful moments through the event. Last week Janna took studio shoots of my art textile clothing. The pictures were beautiful and it truly elevated the perception of my art. I will hire her again and again! So amazing! Such detail.

I have worked with Janna & Lowell many times over the last 20 years, as a wedding planner. My clients have been thrilled with their photography work. They are professional, kind, and talented. With so many choices these days of photographers, Art & Clarity remain one of the best.

I have employed Art and Clarity on three occasions so far. Janna and Lowell are masterful and uniquely skilled. Working with them is a joy and the results are simply stunning! I know them to be honest, caring, intuitive and absolutely dependable, and cannot recommend them highly enough!
