I‘m Janel. I’m a photographer, educator, and business coach. I’m also a proud mama to an 18 year old son and a 17 year old daughter, and I spend my mornings sipping coffee with a splash of creamer, cuddling with my dog in my favorite chair. But no matter how I attempt to define myself, one of the greatest joys in my life is helping fellow women define and discover themselves, and to help guide their photographic calling in life.

For the past decade, I’ve had the honor of spending thousands of hours behind the camera, capturing love stories, photographing miracles, and witnessing genuine happiness. Leaving behind a corporate career, with only $300 to my name and a camera in hand, this calling in life has allowed me to live the life of my choosing. It has given me the freedom to provide for my family while giving me the time to be present with them. To get paid to travel the world. To work when I want. To spend time outdoors. To practice yoga. To watch my children grow. To embrace this life.
