behind the camera
Cheyenne, Wyoming Photographer
I’ve been a Wyoming photographer for over 11 years. I'm a true introvert who becomes a "pretend extrovert" with a camera in my hand. Truthful interactions, genuine conversations, and the chaos of real life make me thrive, and I aim to capture all of these things in my photos while making you feel relaxed and at ease.
I live in Cheyenne with my husband, daughters and two crazy dogs. When I'm not on a shoot or behind the computer, I'm likely running, biking or paddle boarding somewhere in Wyoming's open spaces.
I am committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, ability, race, age, religion, or gender identity, feels valued and celebrated.
PS - You won't see me posting daily selfies anywhere. I might hate being in front of the camera more than you do. (I'm also too busy making sure you receive your images in a timely manner!)
Your moments aren’t about me. You are the hero of this story. I want to help you tell it well.

"Janelle is hands down the best family photographer we have ever had. Would give 10 stars if I could. She has an uncanny ability to put your family at ease and capture beautiful moments you will treasure forever. Her calm demeanor and the way she interacts with kiddos cannot be beat, but the amazing photos put her over the top. We have experienced family photogs at different ages/stages of life, with many different photographers, across several states. I would 100% recommend Janelle over any other. If she can capture the beauty of family and parenthood in the face of screaming and kicking toddlers and tired working parents, there’s likely nothing she cannot do."
"Janelle is an exceptionally talented photographer who is also the kindest, most genuine, and beautiful person. Her photography is stunning, but the way she can capture moments, even amidst the crazy chaos of our busy crew, where you can see that little mischievous gleam in our youngest son's eye, experience the sparkle that our daughter brings to our life, and feel the happy curiosity and love of life of our oldest son is truly magical. Our family photos are treasures and truly some of our greatest gifts! Janelle's professional photography is equally amazing. I was so nervous about doing headshots, but Janelle has this calming grace that made the experience so fun! I absolutely love how they turned out too! Personally and professionally, you could not choose a more talented and incredible photographer than Janelle! Do be warned that choosing your favorites is INCREDIBLY HARD!!"
"Where to even start… when you book your wedding photographer hoping for beautiful pictures that capture the day, you get that & so much more from Janelle. Her work speaks for itself. When we look back at our photos we can feel all of the memories and emotions that were captured on that special day. Janelle was so easy to work with, will make you feel so comfortable and is the sweetest person, nothing but an outstanding experience. The photographs captured the most intimate and detailed moments of our wedding in such a beautiful way, even the moments around us that we missed. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Janelle and her work. We look forward to having her capture our family in the future."
