hey i'm janella !

meet me

I am Janella (yuh-nela), a girl who grew up in the sunshine state & now lives in charlotte, nc! I recently graduated from Liberty U with a digital marketing degree! along with being a creative, I LOVE to travel and see new places (my two favorite places I have ever visited are iceland & hawaii). God has created such a beautiful world to go and see. I also love the beach, having a cozy day to read (+ a lit candle), an iced coffee, free people clothing, & going to concerts.

I fell in love with photography when I was 15 & have never looked back. it started as a hobby, but when I began interning with a wedding photographer, I knew I had found my passion. I began to pour into my craft and saw the Lord grow my love of photography into a business. for me, photography is a form of art & visual poetry - a means to tell stories that unfold in front of me. I am so grateful for this job, which allows me to meet people, be apart of their stories, and deliver photographs that they cherish.


but above everything else, I am a follower of Jesus. He receives all the glory for this sweet business & because of His great love for me, I am able to love the people around me well.

this is the heart behind my business.

it is to serve you well & to be a good friend to you.

the Lord is my joy & He has given me a beautiful opportunity to serve people through photography.

overall, I am someone who loves Jesus & His creation, and cannot wait to meet you & tell your beautifully unique story.
