SEEN BY THE EYES & FELT BY THE SOUL
In the end, portraits are what will be left of us to tell our story. Those who remain will look at your portraits to tell stories about you to others. And the stories that our loved ones tell about us after we’re gone, are the ones that matter most.
Our portraits are our legacy.
What do you want your legacy to say about you?
Consider me your personal paparazzi
You’re here because you’re looking for a photographer. But you’re actually here because you’re looking for someone to deliver you portraits that:
make you feel like you’re viewing a “behind-the-scenes” gallery, almost as if they were shot on your best friend’s phone who followed you around for the day or evening, capturing every moment and every moment in between those moments;
make you feel like you’re the star in your own feature-film-documentary. Portraits that you see on Pinterest that you immediately pin and think: “I want THAT”;
&
allow you to see yourself the way others do, especially those who love you most.
Portraits that look the way you feel.
MEET JANELLE
someone who believes that what it means to be a human has everything to do with what it means to be a photographer
"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 consider myself what you call a “docu-torial” photographer: someone who is an expert at simply noticing moments happening around them and capturing them on camera, but also someone who can capture you in a way that makes you look and feel like you should be in a magazine.
I approach photography the way that I do everything in my life: intentionally, emotionally, and artistically.
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.
If you’re looking for a photographer who can catch all those candid in-between moments full of unplanned laughs, smiles, and looks of love, but also want a photographer who can pose you in a natural yet editorial way, making you feel and look as though you should be on the cover of Vogue, then I’m your photographer! You get the best of both worlds: seeing yourself exactly how you are naturally but also seeing yourself in a way you only ever dreamed of.
So why choose me as your photographer?
Growing up, I hated having my photo taken (and even still today at times!). I refused being in photos for fear of what I looked like, and almost no one could convince me that I was photogenic. I dreamed of the day I could see a photo of myself and absolutely love myself in that photo, and want to share it with others. I’m here to make sure you never have to feel that way again when looking at yourself in photos!
But most importantly…
We are surrounded by other people’s stories.We see them being told on TV, in movies, in books, but what about our own?
You deserve to have your story told, too.
And I’m here to do just that for you.
