MY APPROACH
Elopements, weddings, and lifestyle sessions that feel like you.
I’m not here to pose you into something you’re not. I want to capture you as you are, right here in this season. The messy, the magical, the ordinary, the unforgettable—it’s all part of your story, and that’s what makes it beautiful.
Come as you are: laughing, crying, growing. Because this life you’re living? It’s already art.
my role
Your wedding day: joyful, meaningful, & beautifully stress free.
After documenting over a hundred love stories, I know how quickly the day can fly by. My role is more than just capturing it all (though I’ll be there for every fleeting glance and quiet in-between moment). I want to be a steady, calming presence you can lean on. You focus on soaking it all in, I’ll take care of the rest!

documentary-style Approach
I’ll offer guidance when you need it, and hold space for the real moments to unfold naturally. Nothing forced, just the story as it’s meant to be told.

“Janessa captured us beautifully. Her talent is unmatched! We usually feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, but she has a way of putting us completely at ease. She created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere where we could laugh and be ourselves, and it shows in the photos, which truly reflect our love.”
