Lindley Wedding




When it comes to wedding photography, we want to convey an emotion within your wedding day by capturing the story and atmosphere from the day. We want to translate your message of love across for  generations to come who will appreciate what the wedding was like, rather than peruse a series of pre-determined poses. 

On the big day, we keep a low profile because you are the star; our clients peruse their images surprised by the moments that we capture. One bride remarked, "[we] truly love our wedding book! It was a very hard task to caputure all the love surrounding our big day but ByJRochelle did a fantastic job of it! "


ByJRochelle combines candid images of the day's events...


....with posed images that are inspired by the personalities of the couple.


We make 3 standard packages available to Brides & Grooms: Essential, Acclaimed, & Captured! Until your big day, be sure to visit the ByJRochelle website and Facebook page to stay connected!

Fashion's Night Out [Houston]

ByJRochelle had the privilege of covering Fashion's Night Out for The Fashion Group International of Houston, Inc.! Here are a few shots and snippets! For more pictures and information click here.

First we hit up the ShopGirl Style Lounge (in front of Louis Vuitton) at the Houston Galleria. Joy Sewing hosted this celebration of fashion with music, cupcakes by SweetBatter and beauty demos by Edward Sanchez Vanity Lounge. Visitors also got a preview of the Chronicle's weekly luxury Style section, which launches in November. For the record, Joy says that she  never wore blue until Sydney Dao convinced me it was my color.

While we were in the Galleria for a Fall trend presentation with special appearance by designer Catherine Deane, Art installations throughout the store from Houston Fine Art Fair  Campfire couture: Nosh on custom gourmet s’mores in the Mariposa® restaurant  Visit Cosmetics for mini-makeovers, nail art, concealer consultation & a braid bar.

Up a Tree Without a Camera


Have you ever found yourself up a tree, wishing  a friend was there with you to snap a picture? Ummm maybe that's just me, TheJRochelle of ByJRochelle. ByJRochelle clients brave the elements to get the right shot and I think they have as much fun as I do...well I hope they do!


As a child I climbed trees with my cousins and I guess that started my arbor height obsessions. If you are a tree-hugger like me, schedule your ByJRochelle session up a tree and never be caught without a camera again!



Recently I had the pleasure of shooting a local English teacher [with camera]. It took him a couple of tries, but like Miley Cyrus sang, it "ain't about how fast I get there...it's the climb". Mr. Busby would promptly correct Miley's English of course, but either way he loads of fun and a natural.
