Documenting Your Human Experience
Los Angeles Photographer
Greetings! I'm Joelle Martinec, a devoted wife, proud mama, and the storyteller behind the lens. My journey with photography began as a quest to freeze the fleeting moments of my own little one, blossoming into a deep passion for creating timeless memories to be cherished by others.
As a Los Angeles-based photographer, I specialize in capturing the essence of dance, the romance of couples, and the precious moments in lifestyle family, maternity, and newborn photography.
Joelle was truly so amazing to work with, we absolutely loved our time together. We have a 15 month old who is super shy around new people and Joelle made her so comfortable in seconds. The session was so fun and relaxed, plus we all felt comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures are incredible and show the happy personality of our little one so well.
Because Joelle understands dancers and timing, she is able to capture movement at its peak and give corrections that make dancers look their best. She has a special gift for incorporating dancers in nature in a way that is exquisitely beautiful, but her skills extend beyond dancers and other athletes, to babies, families, and couples. Shooting with Joelle feels safe, comfortable and most of all, fun. My highest recommendation and deepest gratitude for the memories she has captured for me.
Joelle was an absolute pleasure - easy communication, scouted the perfect location, made us comfortable in front of the camera, and also delivered some insanely beautiful results. She made something I thought was going to be difficult (I'm not usually comfortable being photographed by professionals) actually very easy. Thanks to her photos, people keep showering us with compliments and saying my partner and I look like models on a magazine cover!
Joelle is an absolute professional and true artist. She has an incredible understanding of her mediums and demonstrates. She is courageous and kind, empathic and adventurous. We were absolutely thrilled with the gallery she created for us and hope to book with her again for many life events.
Our experience with Joelle was amazing. I absolutely recommend her for your newborn and maternity photos. She worked with us to plan our photoshoots from location, to clothes, and was even flexible when our baby came early. Joelle made us feel comfortable to take some of the more intimate photos I wasn't sure I'd have the guts to take. She was also wonderful our little one taking her time and letting us feed him as needed. This was an unforgettable experience and I plan to cherish our photos for years.
