WELCOME, FRIEND
Cheyenne, WY Photographer
Nice to meet you! I’m Janelle.
I’m a big believer in real conversations, and I think a good photo gets past the small talk and gets to the good stuff, a conversation that means something.
I became a photographer to show truthful, meaningful connection. After photographing weddings, families, seniors and businesses for over 13 years, I am an expert at effortlessly guiding you to that place early on in the process.
My goal is to show the real you in your photos, along with the genuine connection you have with the people you love most.
Mom to two incredible girls.
AND TWO TROUBLESOME FUR BABIES
As a mom myself, I know how busy you are. I also know how important it probably is for you to try to hold onto this time with your kids. One of the reasons I became a photographer was my attempt to stop time with my girls. I’ll make the process of booking your session seamless, and you can count on your family’s experience with me to be one of fun, joy, and genuine connection.
And about the fur babies…..bring them! I will take doggie cuddles anytime I can get them! PS – one of my dogs’ names is Gryffindor, but I’m actually a Ravenclaw. The puppy you’ll see with me below is our latest addition to our family. Her name is Peggy (the afterthought, as in “…and Peggy!” from Hamilton). Getting her was perhaps a poor decision, but I will never admit that to my husband (I love her so much).
Speaking of my husband….I joke that he’s a local celebrity, at least among his patients around town. He is the kindest, most fun human I know. We’ve been married for 21 years.
Wyoming will always be home.
(WIND BE DAMNED)
I’m a Wyoming native, and Wyoming will always be home, even though the wind here in Cheyenne makes me threaten to leave every year.
When I’m not at weddings, sessions, or in front of my computer editing sessions, you might find me trail running, camping or paddleboarding way out of cell range.
My three addictions…
COFFEE, RUNNING, & LIVE MUSIC
I don’t leave home without a coffee maker (French press if luggage space is tight) or my running shoes. The promise of coffee the next morning motivates me to go to bed each night. Running makes my brain turn on each day, even if I just go for a couple miles. I spend way too much money on live music, especially events involving Brandi Carlile or Gregory Alan Isakov.
I’m a safe space.
KEEPER OF MEMORIES FOR ALL HUMANS
I will help create a safe space for you to showcase and celebrate your love, regardless of your sexual preference, gender identity, race, age, ability or body size.
Unapologetic Enneagram 4.
Emotions are always ready to bubble up just beneath the surface with me. My empathy gets me into trouble at times, but it also breaks down walls and quickly draws people out of hiding places, especially with a camera in my hand.
My clients become friends. My friends are like family to me. I feel my way through life, and I think that translates into my work.
