HEY THERE! I’m Jocelyn Janel.
For a decade, I’ve been the woman behind the lens and the owner of the dopest studio in the Upstate: JJP Studios, located right in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.
I was born and raised in Woodruff, and family has always been my "why." I know firsthand that when a loved one passes, memories are often the only thing we have left to hold onto. We’ve all been there—clinging to a blurry flip-phone photo because it’s all we have. I started this journey to make sure your memories aren’t just captured, but are magazine-worthy legacies that stand the test of time.
The Vision Architect
I don’t just take pictures; I birth visions. I know what it’s like to have a dream in your head and need a partner to help bring it to life. I pride myself on designing custom sets that don't just fit your vision—they exceed your expectations. Whether it’s a branding session, a milestone birthday, or a senior portrait, we create a one-of-a-kind vibe you won't find anywhere else.
The Evolution: Building What Lasts
After 10 years in the industry, my mission has expanded. I’ve survived the hustle, mastered the "expensive mistakes," and built a business based on 95% word-of-mouth. Now, I’m using that decade of grit to help other entrepreneurs do the same.
When I’m not in the studio or consulting with founders, you’ll find me where it all began: spending time with my family and protecting the peace I’ve worked so hard to build.
I’m here to help you frame the memory AND build the foundation.
