I am so happy you're here! Read on for a little bit about me and let's connect to create the most incredible photography experience.
I'm Janelle. A wedding and senior portrait photographer serving the greater Seattle area and PNW. I love taking beautiful pictures, but just as important, I am passionate about creating a personal and elevated experience tailored to each individual. I want you to be seen and heard so that the photos you look back on are just the way you imagined them.
I love to adventure throughout Washington, explore new places, ride my horse, shop with my girls, read books, and throw on sweats for movie night with my husband and kids. I'm equal parts introvert and extrovert. I love "me" time but I crave connection with other people. You will find that I really like to have a good time and great conversation.
Documenting Stunning Weddings & Confident Seniors
My goal is to capture images that are full of it! Who you are today is someone beautiful, special, and worth celebrating. You will always get from me - my undivided attention, energy, best service, fun photo shoot experiences, and gorgeous pictures. And before your session or event, we will dive into what is most important to you so that I can tailor everything exactly to your needs. Do you need help finding hair and makeup? A venue? Not sure what to wear? Working with me, means you get to lean on my for help so that you can relax and enjoy this time.
HEY SENIORS! - I know how important confidence is and a big part of what I do is give you the tools to unlock it. Seniors get a Senior Experience Guide with information they need for an amazing photo shoot experience - complete with location planning and outfit inspiration. And don't worry, no one arrives at a photo shoot knowing how to pose! That's my job. I will always explain, demonstrate, and walk you through every bit of our time together. You are going to look amazing and feel fantastic!
TO MY LOVING COUPLES! - I want your time in front of the camera to feel joyful and natural. I am honored to be invited to help tell your love story. I want to get to know you, what you love, and the vision you have for your wedding photos. Need help selecting vendors, outfits for engagement photos, or anything else? You get to lean on me so you can enjoy this chapter of your life to its fullest.
