With over eight years of photography experience, I gained most of my knowledge while living and working in Asia. My focus was on documentary and street photography, and I spent three years as a fashion photographer in South Korea, working with models and influencers. Although I have experience using studio FOMEX lighting and equipment, I've found that natural light photography provides the most authentic moments my clients desire.
My aim is to provide laid-back photo sessions that capture my client's authenticity and realness. While maintaining a supportive, informative, and encouraging relationship with my clients, I guide them every step of the way. Whether it's the initial contact or the final delivery, I offer my support, making sure your best angles and emotions tell your unique story.
For those getting married, I offer free engagement sessions with all my wedding packages to help us become familiar with each other before your big day. At your wedding, I will coordinate, calm your nerves, photograph you, and capture every moment of your day of love.
I am primarily located in Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, and surrounding areas in Maine. I have plenty of location recommendations if you are unsure of where to shoot and ensure that we find the perfect spot for you.
Check out my portfolio, investment info, and location recommendations on my website, and let's collaborate to tell your story through photos!

Janelle was hired to capture photographs of my proposal and take engagement photos afterwards. Throughout the entire process, Janelle was exceptional. In addition to taking breathtaking photos, she assisted me in selecting a location for the proposal and guided me through the steps to arrive as I was unfamiliar with the area.
Despite a snowstorm causing a delay in the original plan, Janelle remained in constant communication with me and promptly devised an alternate plan for the following day. Her dedication truly exceeded expectations, and I couldn't recommend her enough. If it were possible, I would give Janelle six stars as she demonstrated exceptional professionalism and talent every step of the way.
