POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Way too many moments to choose from shooting Morgan & Dan’s wedding on film for @thestudio224 (@fab_gabb & @kinnonjob). I could do 10 more posts like this and still have a hard time. What a day.

Been working a lot more than posting lately but honestly the less I’m on here the better, just need to quit the damn reels. Thanks for sticking around folks ❤️

five.

i’ve been trying to figure out what I want to say about five years of doing this as a full time career. but I think I’ve been making it way too complicated.

because how do you summarize five years of something that has completely woven itself into your life?

i could tell you how much my work has changed. how much my business has grown. all the things I’ve learned and gotten wrong along the way.

but that’s not really what I’m feeling when I think about the past five years.

i think about how differently I see things now. how much I notice. the glances. the deep breaths. the subtle, beautiful things happening in the background. the half-second expressions that disappear almost as quickly as I notice them.

i’m constantly watching and anticipating. paying attention not only to what something looks like, but what it feels like. and apparently you don’t just turn that off when you put the camera down.

this career has changed the way I see myself, too.

there have been a lot of moments where I’ve questioned myself. compared myself. taken things personally. said yes when I wanted to say no. wondered if I was doing enough. felt completely exhausted and overwhelmed by the very thing I worked so hard to build.

i used to think eventually you reach some point where you just feel completely sure of yourself. i don’t know if that point exists.

i think I’ve just gotten better at trusting myself. trusting what I see. what I’m drawn to. knowing I don’t have to create like anyone else. knowing when something isn’t for me.

there are parts of me that feel completely different than the person who started this. and parts that are exactly the same.

i still really, really love taking pictures. i still get excited about beautiful light. i still love that split second when I know I caught something. i still love people and feel the most inspired by connection.

maybe that’s all five years really is.

the same person, the same camera in my hand, but with a lot more life behind it.

anyway. five years. that feels really big. and it feels like a good excuse to finally show my face around here again and say hi.

i’m Janelle. and I still feel the most myself holding a camera.

The first digital version of what we call brackishinthebay today, i drew the first concept as i spoke on facetime to @streamlineexcavation and @buenolife_ on the back of a mint girl guide cookie box which is now framed in the house.

Dream big because its way more fun when they all come to life : )

There is just something about string lines in the trees with bonfires on the beaches and the smell of the saltwater in the air. I don't know how else you describe it but home : )

The morning of 🦋

One of the most special details of the day was the custom earrings and cufflinks that my Maid of Honour, Lika, had designed & made for us. I mentioned to her once that I was looking for a pair of silver sparrow earrings, and she seamlessly brought it to life. It was a perfect final touch to my bridal look 🪽

“Two sparrows flying towards each other represent coming together, deep partnership, and the alignment of two lives or energies”
