so, so glad you’re here

I'm a portrait and branding photographer for heart-centered women and adventure-loving couples based in Seattle, Washington. You’ll find me at my laptop, Spotify shuffling, coffee getting cold, cute pup curled up on half of my keyboard. I'm known for being the listener of the group and I cannot wait to hear your story!

Dear friend, Just in case you need this reminder tonight, I want you to know that you are amazing. You are not defined by the mistakes you’ve made and your value is not measured on the number of friends you have or likes you get. You are unique in a way no one else is. 💫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I see you and I’m proud of you right where you’re at. 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With love and all the good vibes, Janelle 💛💛💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #calledtobecreative #inspiretocreate #inspireme #createandcultivate #seattlegirlbosses #womenempoweringwomen #womensupportingwomen #femaleentrepreneur #smallbusinesslove #calledtocreate #communityovercompetition #therisingtidesociety #dreamersanddoers #wearethecreativeeconomy #savvybusinessowners #creativeentrepreneur #tuesdaystogetherseattle #entrepreneurlife #goalchasing #seattlesmallbusiness #rentonbusiness #rentonwa
Throwback Thursday already, huh? This gem deserves a re-visit because she’s not only bright, intelligent and beautiful, but her heart is so kind. Victoria’s put years into her studies, earning her title as a registered nurse at Seattle Children’s. 👩‍⚕️💛 Photographing her was so much fun as we wandered through her favorite spots at the campus she spent so much time at. Victoria, you rock! 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #celebratethegoodhearts #portrait #makeportraits #makeportraitsnotwar #postthepeople #pursuitofportraits #nurselifern #seattleu #seattlewa #seattlechildrens #womenhelpingwomen #empoweredwomen #calledtoserve #calledtolove #aloha🌺
After the beach, one of my favorite places to shoot are bright, white spaces with pops of plants or florals for color. Clean light, textured backdrops, open space. So hearts were definitely popping out of my eyes when I walked into the Prestwick Terrace at The Newcastle Golf Club as chandeliers hung above rows of white chairs. Such a beautiful wedding and event venue! 😍 I definitely recommend checking out the club if you’re in the market for a wedding venue.

You may think I’m weird, but, we celebrate our little nugget’s birthday every year because her excitement with cake and presents makes us so happy. 🍰 it’s the little things. #crazydogparents Happy 6th Birthday Chloe bear. 💛 @adventuresofthedizzle @boyo32
When you picture what I do as a photographer - you probably envision me mostly taking photos and spending a lot of time editing at a computer. 📷 Which is 💯 percent accurate. But what you don’t see me doing as much is researching, journaling and sketching. I have notebooks filled in my sloppy half-cursive handwriting with my studies in light, color theory, posing, brainstorming, photoshoot concepts and ideas... Nothing is organized, but I love putting thoughts and ideas to paper before bringing them to life. ✨ . What kind of behind-the-scenes work do you spend a lot of time doing that people may not know about? . . . #calledtobecreative #inspiretocreate #inspireme #createandcultivate #seattlegirlbosses #womenempoweringwomen #womensupportingwomen #femaleentrepreneur #smallbusinesslove #calledtocreate #communityovercompetition #therisingtidesociety #dreamersanddoers #wearethecreativeeconomy #savvybusinessowners #creativeentrepreneur #tuesdaystogetherseattle #entrepreneurlife #goalchasing #seattlesmallbusiness #behindthescenesphotography
Those moments before the couple sees each other on a wedding day are some of my favorite to document. So many thoughts running through their mind. Nerves are mixed in with excitement and that shows through different emotions in each person. Some are calm, some are hyped, some are silent... But it always changes when the palm of her hand meets theirs and suddenly you can see in their faces that nothing else matters as much. 💞 . . . #calledtobecreative #inspiretocreate #inspireme #createandcultivate #janelleelainephotography #seattleweddingphotographer #seattlephotographer #seattlewedding #smpweddings #magnoliarouge #ruffledblog #weddingchicks #oncewed #bridalmusings #artfullywed #bbcolorful #theperfectpallette #polkadotbride #feelgoodweddings #onefabday #theknot #weddingwire #pnwedding #instaproofs #100layercake #seattlebridebestphoto2019
How to get through hours of image sorting: good music and good incentives (read high quality chocolate). @chugachchocolates thanks for the delicious motivation 🍫
It’s all in the details! No matter what field you work in - paying attention to the details will always help create the final outcome of the bigger picture. . For me, that looks like paying attention to what is important to my client and being sure to capture that, noticing hairs in the face, helping them to style outfits, removing distractions in the backgrounds and much much more. So if I have the time to slow down and put my attention into as many little details as possible before hitting the shutter to take the photo - I take it! ⏰ . I really think that the little details, alongside the portraits, help to tell the complete story so you’ll notice a pretty chunk of detail shots in each wedding, branding and lifestyle session I photograph. 💞 It’s all in the details baby! . . . shooting for @jeffhallphotos #janelleelainephotography #seattleengagementphotographer #seattlephotographer #seattleweddingphotographer #pnw #pnwphotographer #pnwonderland #pnwisbest
