Acadia & Maine Engagement + Elopement Photographer

Meet Janelle

Before photography, I spent 8 years living across Asia.

Those years shaped everything about the way I see the world — the way I notice details, the way I value connection, and the way I approach every wedding and elopement with intention, respect, and presence.

The way that I photograph clients has been informed by my time living abroad. Experiencing Asian cultures allowed me to slow down and really notice the whole scene in front of and around me: how humans interact with their environment and the integral role that their environment plays in connections.

Where we are shapes who we are.

The landscape, environment, and light all work together to bring a unique atmosphere to every single photograph. My role as your photographer is to capture these relationships to truly bring your images to life.

Who we are is also shaped by our lived experiences.

Grief I have experienced has had the biggest impact on how I approach photography.

You deserve a photographer who protects your emotional safety; a photographer who understands that celebrations may feel differently when the ones we love most may not be here to experience them with us.

My role, more than anything, is to hold space for you when you may need it, and to honor both the grief and joy you may feel at any given time.

Whether we’re wandering the rocky coastline at sunrise or celebrating with your closest people, I’m with you every step of the way — quietly guiding when needed, stepping back when the moment matters, and creating a safe space where you can simply be yourselves.

Clients come to me because they want more than photos.

They want an experience that feels calm, thoughtful, intentional, & grounded.

They want a photographer they can trust — someone who sees them, protects their story, and captures the meaning within every moment.

If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place — and I’d be honored to document you and your love.
