Meet Janelle McDonnell

Corpus Christi's Motherhood Photographer

 

I am a Florida-born, Corpus Christi-living, natural-minded mother and wife. We have 5 kiddos who keep us on our toes - if i'm not photographing your family, i'm probably running after mine!

 

I am a Photographer and am a certified Birth Doula!

I have had two very different hospital births and 3 home births. If I could choose over again I would have had all 5 in the comfort of our home. It was such a serene experience.

 

It was through my journey of becoming a mom that I found my passion and my focus for photographing & and supporting all of those moments centered around motherhood. 

 

I am a breastfeeding advocate.

 

Maternity, Birth, and Fresh48 are among my favorites to photograph, although a posed newborn is creeping up these days! 

I love making each woman I photograph feel empowered, beautiful, and capable through their journey and the phase they are in.

 

I would describe my work as a photographer as light and airy,  I love using nature to bring out the natural beauty of my clients and the world around them. My studio has a very minimal aesthetic. I love to keep my sessions simple to focus on the little details, those tiny toes, tiny noses, tiny hands, and ears.

I love keeping my sets simple to focus on you and your family and your genuine connections! 

 

I love celebrating YOU as a mama, and you as a family. From that beautiful growing bump full of life to the first breath your baby takes and the cry your baby makes.

 

It is my honor to capture YOUR STORY.
