! e r e h t , Hi I am soooo excited you found me. I’m Janelle, and I put a little piece of my heart into every family I capture and I’d love it if, by the end of our time together, I fit in to a little piece of yours. Making sure we are a good fit is the first way to ensure the best experience, so take a look at all this information and let’s set up a time to chat if you have any questions. I love to get to know my clients on a personal level and let you know a little more about me (like how I could eat a donut at any time of the day or my addiction to reality television).
Congratulations! First, BIG congrats on deciding to

fleeting moment in time.
all of you smiling nicely for the camera, I want to capture so much more than that.
You'll never have this day again. Tomorrow they'll be a little bit older.
This is your time to be you... I want your newborn session to feel like special day for you to slow down and really soak in one another. It should be fun and a chance to breath and enjoy every single inch of your new little peanut. DURING OUR SESSION
You get to have FUN. You get to be yourselves. Most of all, you get to make real memories…. ones that you’ll actually want to remember. I care about finding the little things you love about your family and bringing that story out in our session together.
location... Newborn sessions typically happen in your home, because TRUST ME, you aren't really going to want to leave your house. Your house does not have to be perfectly decorated, or even clear, and it's 100% fine if you still haven't unpacked all the baby gear. I will do a quick walk through of your house to find the best light and we will do the session there. I've done entire sessions in one corner of a clients home because the light was killer. If you prefer to go outside the home, we can do that, too. I’ve done a sweet newborn session at the beach and have gone outside client's homes on various newborn sessions. It's important to be realistic when we plan and know that there is chance that when baby is here, you might prefer to be cozied up at home.
Shoots are done within 25 miles of Boston, MA or Canandaigua, NY TRAVEL FEES MAY BE APPLIED TO ANYTHING FURTHER shoot me a message if you have an idea!
