PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER MOST
Weddings & Families in Indiana and beyond!
The storyteller behind the camera.
HEY, I’M JANEL
I’m a wedding and family photographer documenting the people, places, and moments that make your life yours.
After years of photographing families and weddings in Louisiana, I’m excited to call Indiana home and continue telling stories in the West Lafayette area & beyond!
My approach is relaxed, honest, and centered around connection, creating photos that feel like you rather than simply photos of you.
WEDDINGS
FOR THE DAYS THAT GO BY WAY TOO FAST
Your wedding day is about far more than beautiful details. It’s the nervous anticipation, the people who traveled to celebrate you, the way your partner looks at you, and the moments you didn’t even know were happening.
I'll document it all honestly and intentionally, so you can relive not just how it looked but how it felt.
FAMILIES
FOR THE SEASONS YOU WISH YOU COULD HOLD ONTO
The little hands. The belly laughs. The chaos.
Family photography doesn’t have to be stiff or overly posed. We’ll focus on connection, movement, and the little things that make your family yours.
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU.
I don’t want your photos to feel perfect.
I want them to feel real.
The wind in your dress. Your kids running through the grass. The way your partner reaches for your hand. Your grandmother wiping away a tear.
The moments you didn't plan for often become the ones you never want to forget.
I’ll give you enough direction to feel comfortable in front of the camera, while leaving plenty of room for the moments to unfold naturally.
A LITTLE LOOK AT THE STORIES I GET TO TELL
SOME MEMORIES DESERVE TO MOVE
There’s something about watching a memory move that photos simply can’t recreate.
The laughter. The dancing. All the people you love in one place.
Add Super 8 film to your wedding experience for a collection of short, nostalgic moving images you’ll be able to revisit for years to come.
A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO’S THERE FOR MORE THAN THE PHOTOS
01- LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
We’ll talk about your people, your plans, what matters to you, and what you want your photos to feel like.
02- I’LL HELP YOU ALONG THE WAY
From timelines and locations to what to do with your hands during portraits, I’ll guide you when you need it so you never feel like you’re left wondering what to do.
03- YOU GET TO BE PRESENT
Your job isn’t to spend the day worrying about photos.
Your job is to experience it.
I’ll be there to document everything else.
