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.

The Best of 2009: Relationship Photography {Columbus, Ohio Photographer}

Another set of the Best of 2009! Today we’re looking at the best of my 2009 Relationship Photography. Within this group I have examples of family, engagement and wedding photography. I had the opportunity over the summer to assist my friend and fellow photographer, Melissa Jones, with her weddings. It was a great learning experience for me and I hope Melissa will have me back to help in 2010! Yet again, I had a hard time picking my favorites from the year. I decided to show one from each category of relationship photos that I offer. My favorites all share one thing in common, I’ve tried to capture the connection and emotion between these folks in each image.

I had such a great time with Natalie and her family at the park for this session.
This un-posed image of them playing in the colorful fall leaves is a perfect moment.

Not exactly an “engagement” photograph of Jen and Jeff since they were married prior to this image, we’ll call it my favorite “couple” image of 2009.

I absolutely love this image!! It doesn’t hurt when you have a stunning bride and groom to work with!
