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.

Little Miss May’s Portrait Session at Creekside

I was excited for this portrait session over the weekend in Gahanna – adorable little May was one of my 2010 Fresh Face Portrait Contest winners. I was planning on doing her photos in Downtown Columbus, but with the Race for the Cure overtaking the area, we figured it was a better plan to go to a suburban park. If May looks familiar, it’s because I photographed her almost two years ago. There’s actually an image of her from that session, chasing after bubbles, in the slideshow at the top of the blog. May was quite the ham for the camera and needs no direction at all! As soon as she heard the shutter click, she moved into her next pose. I swear, she must have been sneaking in some episodes of America’s Next Top Model before her portraits, with her little head tilt and all! When I did happen to catch May off guard for some more candid portraits, she would stare at me with a surprised look because she hadn’t “posed” for it.

I love the wind blowing her bangs!

Her red, sparkly shoes were too cute!
