Happy first day of spring guys! 🌸As great as that feels to say it doesn’t actually feel like spring just yet. And as much as I want to break out the sundress and sandals I know I have to give it another month or so for mother nature to get the memo! But just because it’s a little to soon to get those perfect spring portraits that doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead and be ready for them.

Happy Wednesday guys! I know Chicago is basically the North Pole right now so I thought this would be a great time to share photos from a warmer more colorful time. The ‘Fall-ing in Love Styled Shoot’ is the perfect fix for our winter blues. Let’s all look at these photos and remember that if you can survive all 5 months of winter, Chicago can be such amazing place. 😂

Today I am super excited to share this family session with you guys. I adore all the families I work with but there are just some who I love even when I put my camera away. That would definitely describe the Flemming family. My husband and I met Myk, Serenity, and baby Michael at church. They are the very first friends we made when we moved and they are some of the sweetest people you would ever meet. And baby Michael is my little homie. The cutest, smartest little one year old ever! I seriously adore this kid. 😍

Happy Tuesday afternoon guys! I took a short hiatus from my photo-blog to travel the world with my hubby (click here to check out some vacation photos) but I am back in action now just in time to share some beach photos to commemorate the summer coming to and end. If you are anything like me you are mourning the loss of your favorite season of the year too! 😫

 You guys know how much I love to travel! It is my ultimate goal to become a Travel Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer. And this past year I have made major strides towards that goal. I got to photograph families in 3 new cities (Washington D.C., San Antonio, and New Orleans). This session is extra special to me because I have known them for many years and I have watched them grow as a family...

Wow. Time is really flying! It is already 4 months into 2017. And can you believe baseball season is here already? In honor of such a fun day I wanted to share with you some fun birth announcement photos I took a few months ago.

Spring Mini Sessions are discounted photos sessions that are only offered seasonally to the general public. They are great opportunities to capture Family Portraits, Engagement & Maternity Photos and even get those new Head-shots you have been needing for so long. I am even adding some travel dates to my Mini Sessions this year...

As a photographer one of my favorite things to do is to photograph families. Especially families with little ones. But if you have ever spent anytime with any munchkins under the age of 4, you know that getting them to cooperate with your plans can be challenging, to say the least. These little humans are on their own...

2016 has been an awesome year for Janelle Jaqueline Photography. Not only did we have some amazing clients but we also got a facelift as a company. In honor of such an amazing year I wanted to share some of my favorite photos...

'5 years down! Here's to many, MANY more.'

This past weekend marks the 5th year anniversary of my entrepreneurial journey. YAY! It's so crazy to say because of how quickly that flew by. The last 5 years have been a rollercoaster for me, both personally and professionally, filled with so many...
