“We could not have been happier with our wedding photography package from Janelle. She was so flexible, helpful, informative, and easy to work with! For our engagement session she was willing to travel to Sugarloaf and ride a gondola with us to the top during the fall so we could get beautiful shots of the foliage on the mountainsides. She was aLeah’s incredibly quick to respond to my emails (faster than any vendor we communicated with). Janelle was able to capture everything we imagined and more for our wedding. Our tears, happiness, and sheer joy and that of our guests are forever and perfectly memorialized in our gallery. Janelle was a pleasure to work with- punctual, friendly, and continually willing to go out of her way to make me feel less stressed and ensure our wedding was everything we’d dreamed.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more talented photographer to capture our engagement in Olympic National Park. Janelle’s professionalism and calming presence made the experience feel effortless and joyful. She navigated the ever-changing weather with ease and even suggested photo spots we hadn’t considered—some of which ended up being our absolute favorites. Her attention to detail, from lighting to composition, ensured every shot was beautifully captured. It’s clear that her talent extends far beyond Maine, and we feel so lucky to have had her document such a special moment in our lives.”

“Janelle deserves 10 stars. I knew from the beginning I wanted to work with her for my proposal and her immediate attention to detail, patience, and clarity confirmed I made the right choice. She carefully answered my questions about the location over a period of weeks before my proposal and took magnificent, diverse photos that will be treasured. She's a top professional and we're glad we had the opportunity to have her as our photographer. If you're looking for someone, stop looking and reach out to her, you'll be glad you did.”

MEET JANELLE

"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space."

- Interstellar

I believe that photography has the power to bring this quote to life - no matter how much time has passed or where we find ourselves in the universe, photographs will always portray our connection to the ones we love and the ones who love us most.

I approach photography the way that I do everything in my life: intentionally, emotionally, and artistically.

I’m Janelle — a Maine-based engagement, elopement, and destination photographer with a deep love for natural beauty, emotional storytelling, and intentional experiences.

With an editorial eye and a documentarian heart, I create space for you to be fully present — so your love unfolds effortlessly, honestly, and artfully in every frame.

Whether you’re exchanging vows on a windswept cliff in Acadia, escaping to a far-off coastline, to a tropical island in the Caribbean or somewhere off the grid in Southeast Asia, I’m here to tell your story with soul, style, and substance.

Each and every session I photograph I weave in aspects of my own self and life: my background in philosophy, human rights law, my love for travel and culture, my passion for style, and my desire to make anyone that I interact with feeling more loved than they did before they met me.

Photographing people and their loved ones is my love language.

My Philosophy:

To be seen, is to be loved.

I want to do more than just tell your story.

My love for photography is driven by my desire to make sure that every person I photograph feels seen. Feels understood. Feels loved.

With gentle guidance and prompting, you’re allowed to be exactly who you are, without me telling you who you need to be in order to be “picture perfect.”

Come as you are.
