With Janelle Bye Photography
at rain shadow ranch
Meet your photographer
Janelle is a Tacoma-based photographer with a passion for capturing genuine emotion, connection and the fleeting moments families wish they could hold onto a little longer.
As a mom herself, she understands that family photos don’t always come with perfectly still kids and perfectly posed moments—and that’s part of the magic. Her goal is to create images you love now and memories you’ll be grateful to have years from now.

Recipes
a smoking summer supper
Smoke Show BBQ Chicken with Charred Corn Salad is an easy summer recipe that puts peak-season vegetables front and center. Smoky grilled chicken is paired with charred corn, roasted jalapeño, juicy cherry tomatoes, cotija, lime, and fresh chives for a bright, savory meal with plenty of rich flavor from our Smoke Show BBQ Sauce.
For an even easier dinner, pick up the Smoke Show Summer Supper Bundle at the Bloom Stand on weekends. It includes the featured sauce, fresh seasonal produce, chives, sunflowers, and the recipe card—so most of the shopping is already done for you.
