Jennifer O'Donnell Photography bio picture

Welcome to my blog.

As your photographer, my ultimate goal is to draw out your story, your personality, your individuality and true emotion.  I am not a traditional studio photographer, but rather choose to take a more photojournalistic approach to children and family portraiture, capturing you in the moment - laughing, loving and interacting just as you do every day.  I prefer to stand back and capture life as it happens.  A session with me is never rushed, never uncomfortable, never about seeking a "cheese-face" grin.   What you will get from a session with me is honest emotion - the real you.  Real life.  Pure Joy!

Let's get started, shall we?

Not Your Ordinary School Photos

Remember getting your school photo back and being all excited only to find out you had a huge eye booger and a cowlick the size of Texas?   Plus, you only got one chance to smile your best smile and try not to make it look fake.  So you practiced your smile in the mirror for days prior to getting your photo done, then, as you’re sitting there on the hard plastic cube under the hot and orange tinged lights, they ask you to do the unimaginable.  “Say CHEESE!”  Ugh.  Now you’ve given them a big fat fake smile and your stuck with it.  Forever. 

You don’t always have to go with the posed, canned smiled, cowlick immortalizing, traditional photos that you get through the school.  It’s fun to think outside the box sometimes.  These three kids are all set for the school year now having gotten their school photos out of the way early.  No need to practice those smiles in the mirror or use extra hair gel.  And those eye boogers?  No one will ever know.
