Do you ever have to tell yourself to Simmer Down Now? I do... I realized that I have to pump my brakes a little. it might take me a little longer to reach my $10,000 wedding package goal. You’ve been glued to that Computer! Is what I’ve been told lately by my family so I need to learn how to manage my time. I thought I was doing pretty good, but I guess not! To make up for it I took my lil man to the park for a picnic and to play baseball (well Tee ball to be exact). He loved it and we both had a blast! We have a family filled weekend planned and on Sunday I’m going to a Photoshop Seminar. I’m ready to step up my game! All I need to do is build up the courage to ask a couple to let me practice shooting them. I’m hoping I’m a pro at my camera by the end of this year and I can fit in a FREE engagement photo-shoot. I’ll be posting some information on that soon. We have a family filled weekend planned and on Sunday I’m going to a Photoshop Seminar. I’m ready to step up my game!

I’ll be posting some information on that soon. My baby boy did a photoshoot for Petunia Pickle BottomFall catalogue (not only do they have a cool name, they also have beautiful bags.) They sent us a complimentary bag and I’m using this to carry around my camera. Its perfect... it has slots for me to hold my lenses too.. While I was lying in bed one morning staring around my room, I thought if I was shooting a bride getting dressed in my room where would I photograph the important details. It was cool to force myself to be creative. This is the most creative I could get lol (pretty sad I know) but these are the “pretend brides” shoes hanging against my headboard...

Janelle! You're work is fabulous! Asking people if you can shoot them is the fun part! It's fun because that's where you can shoot for what you love and no stress about getting paid for it. Enjoy it! If I was skinnier I would let you shoot me but I have 20lbs more to go lol. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us :) Keep up the good work

I'M JANELLE MARINA
Wife, Mama Shark, + Photographer. Most days, you'll find me in mismatched socks and a top knot, working behind my computer with a smile on my face, listening to Zac Brown Band and R&B --or, dancing in the kitchen with my 3 littles and hunka husband, seeing who could come up with the coolest dance moves. I'm a wedding photographer, West Elm lover, aspiring advocate for our buddies with special needs, and a Certified Dreamer since 1986. We live in a cozy city in Southern California and are always up for a good adventure. I enjoy telling stories with my camera, grubbing on spicy food, and solving the latest Dateline case.
