Premier Portrait Photography in Columbus, Ohio bio picture

Welcome!

Contemporary, natural and fashionable are the three words that I feel best describe my photographic style. There are many photographers in Central Ohio, so take a look around at the blog and my website galleries to decide if I’m the right photographer for you.
About My Photography:

My focus is in portraits for children, high school seniors and pets. I do not have a traditional studio and photograph on-location in the Columbus area. I was a professional graphic designer for over 11 years. Halfway through my career, I returned to school to focus on my photography and in 2008, Danielle Neil Photography was born. Combining everything I’ve learned over the years as a designer, along with my photographic knowledge, I create distinct images with a modern feel for my clients.
About Me:

I love every dog I meet. I’m a tv junkie — dramas like House and Criminal Minds are my favorite, but I’m hooked on Celebreality shows too. I try to see the Dave Matthews Band every year, even if I have to travel out of state. My dream house would be straight out of Ikea and West Elm. I make weekly trips to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and always walk out with the signature Dark Chocolate. My closet looks like an Ann Taylor Loft catalog and if I could, I would wear jeans 365 days a year. Living in Columbus has turned me into a die hard Ohio State Buckeye fan, but my favorite professional football team resides in the state next door, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Urban Senior Session In Downtown Columbus for Elissa

Today was a good day, scratch that today was a great day. I love being a photographer and when I get to have a great session in the morning, it just makes the day all that much better. Plus the Buckeyes beat Michigan for the sixth year in a row, that helps to make it a great day too!

I’m not sure how we got so lucky this November to continue to have beautiful weather this late in the year but I’m certainly not complaining!! Elissa knew that she for sure wanted an urban backdrop for her senior portrait session. It was an easy decision for us to go to the Arena District because there’s such a variety of new, old and unique buildings while walking around area. She came prepared with multiple outfits and accessories and which allowed us to combine outfits with different locations and get a wide assortment of fun combinations! Thanks Elissa for picking me to take your senior photos, you were a blast to work with!!

Union Station Arch perfect for senior pics

The Union Station Arch in the Arena District was a perfect find for the background of this image. I love how casual and carefree Elissa looks in this one.
