"The most personal is the most creative." - Martin Scorsese

I’ve called Maine “home” for the past 36 years. Photographing here is more than just my career: it’s personal.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of me running around with my siblings in the grass, jumping in the lake on hot summer days, collecting seashells at the beach, and exploring endless forests. I often find myself reminiscing on these memories when doing these same things with my clients while photographing them, which intertwines emotion that no prompt or pose could ever lend itself.

I know this state by heart: its seasons, its tides, its atmosphere. When you choose me, you’re not just getting someone who works here, but someone who lives and breathes this place. I weave everything I love about Maine into your gallery so that you can feel its beauty long after the moment has passed.

Maine is not just my home; it is a part of who I am. No matter how far away I lived or for how long, I have always known that here is where I belong. And now, I get to share that special connection with you.

If you’re looking for a photographer who knows Maine not just as a destination, but as home, and one who can help you experience Maine in a deeply personal and nostalgic way, I’d love to photograph you.

Janelle emphasizes:

  • Safety & Trust

  • Inclusion for all

  • Presence over perfection

  • Intentional storytelling

  • Connection & respect

  • Cultural sensitivity

I’m here to create a universe that only you and your beloved get to be a part of.

Every session, wedding, or elopement is my opportunity to to craft a universe that is entirely your own.

A universe that you get to be a part of and get lost in with the one(s) you love most.

No matter what is happening elsewhere, all that matters is you and whoever else gets to be a part of that universe, too.

Galleries are like a little bubble: those in images within that gallery are sacred and forever protected from external forces. The world could be ending but anyone in those images are sheltered from it all. The emotion and connection can never be taken out of an image once its been captured.

Every love story is its own universe.

Let me help you see it and experience it.
