my name is Jennelle. I live for adventures + documenting them.

When I'm not taking pictures, I'm traveling the world (Southeast Asia is my favorite), riding my dirt bike, scuba diving, hiking, sleeping, or watching movies with my husband. I feel most like myself during the quiet moments outdoors surrounded by the beauty that we've been blessed with. 

I've been a photographer for a total of 11 years! I started in the fashion industry and eventually converted over to weddings.

I got married in June 2016 to the very best man. Together, we have a dog son (Kody) and a pet tarantula (i know, i know... but I swear he's like a pet rock) named velcro.

I'm a huge animal lover and want to own goats, alpacas, chickens, and a raccoon one day.

I'd choose mountains and forests over a beach anyday. however, I won't turn down a beach elopement because I can't deny their beauty in photos.

I'm laid back, flexible & always true to myself.

I'm so excited to be your friend!
