Janelle Brooke Photography

JBP Lifetime Family - The Buckshaws Had this to say about working with JBP: "I never knew what a lifetime photographer was, nor was I thinking of one when I booked Janelle to photograph my wedding back in 2014.... Fast forward 7 years, through an engagement shoot, a wedding, a maternity shoot, 2 newborn shoots, and countless lifestyle shoots in-between, I can now say, Janelle is my lifetime photographer. When I think back on why I chose Janelle all those years ago, I remember how beautiful her pictures were, how she made me feel and the chemistry we had together. Janelle is our storyteller. She has captured and preserved snapshots of our family’s journey perfectly so we have them for years to come. She has created a cohesive visual of the life we have built together, where each photo reminds you of the journey. Our photos are real, raw, and authentic because of the relationship we have with Janelle. She knows our family inside and out, she wants to be there to celebrate our milestones together, and she honestly cares about how our photos come out. Now after all these years, we have many photos to treasure but most importantly we treasure the relationship we have built with Janelle, it’s one that will truly last a lifetime."

JBP Lifetime Family - The Coffins Had this to say about working with JBP: "I don’t even know where to begin about my experience working with Janelle but will start by saying she is an absolute pleasure. We are approaching ten years of her capturing the most amazing memories of our life together and there’s no other way to describe it but to say I feel so lucky.... I have ten years of gorgeous photos from engagement, to boudoir, to wedding, maternity, newborn and 7 years of birthday and holiday family sessions together. I proclaim every session to be my "favorite" only to love the next one equally if not more. Janelle and I met early 2011 when we were getting ready to select our wedding photographer. As soon as we met Janelle, we knew we didn’t need to meet another photographer. She makes you feel excited for the big day, comforted by her experience photographing weddings, and focused on capturing your collaborative vision for your wedding day. On the actual wedding day, she puts you at ease, is professional, anticipates times for magical photo opportunities and even offered us a walk through prior to the day so there were no surprises. That being said, we got the biggest surprise of all time with a fire at our wedding! Nonetheless, Janelle was unfazed and kept us all calm and stayed the course. She didn’t even falter and stayed the extra time to be sure every memory was captured. Fast forward to pregnancy, newborn, and every family shoot we've done...She's just the best! Somehow she makes the magic happen from two irritable newborns, to cranky toddlers or sassy big kids that can be un-agreeable. No matter how non-ideal the situation may have been, Janelle knows just what to say, and exactly how to capture our family so beautifully together. Reflecting on the last ten years, I really didn’t realize who I was meeting when I thought I was just shopping for a wedding photographer. I met someone who I am confident will beautifully capture the most special moments of our life. At the end of the day, we feel like the fortunate ones to have our lives captures through Janelle's lens and we are forever grateful."
