Janel Carter, Christian Photographer. Visual Poetry, Cinematic storytelling. Weddings, engagements, and more. South Carolina, Florida

BEHIND

the LENS


Hi I'm Janel!

I'm a photographer, event planner, and most importantly a child of Christ!


Combining my desire to serve the Body of Christ and pursue passions in creativity is how The Lord's Fruit was born. Since a young age I was always drawing, acting on stage, singing and now I get the honor to use these elements in creating visual poetry.  


While my business is rooted in faith, I warmly welcome everyone who values the beauty of storytelling through photography. Love is what brings us all together!

My prayer is that from the very first interaction to the final image, you will experience the fruit of the Spirit and carry it forward to bless others.


In choosing to work with me, we aren't just taking photos. We are honoring the glory of the Creator's heart...you.


Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.

1 Peter 4:10-11

My eye has always been drawn to lush tropical environments! For the longest time I wanted to live in the jungle and celebrate my birthdays at the Rainforest Café. With that in mind, my favorite scenery to shoot in is the great outdoors. God has created so many beautiful plants, mountains, and animals which fuels my creativity. My pictures tend to have notes of yellow, orange, green and blue.


If interested in a different editing style, please reach out via the inquiry form as I have experience with a wide range of color palettes.

Of course!!! Jesus is our first love and and every day we come before Him to better understand His heart posture towards others. As we explore this heart posture and love, we can then love others through the image of Jesus.


In this way, we love all people as they each originate from the Creator's heart reflecting something of His love and glory. In each language, culture, and background, there is beauty to be captured.


We love because he first loved us. - 1 John 4:19
