Professional, Versatile, Creative

About Jodi O

Hey there! I am a proud mama of two grown daughters, lover of happy hour, and a bit of a nut. While I’m way more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, I’ve spent over 20 years getting to know the magic of what makes great photos. Not the staged, but the real ones, images that are full of connection and not forced.

If you’re celebrating a milestone, updating your professional headshots, or just want images that feel true to who you are, I’m here to help. Making sure you feel relaxed, confident, and most importantly, like yourself, from start to finish. Everyone has a unique story to tell and I’m honored to be the one to help you tell yours through honest, heartfelt photography.

Since 2005, I’ve been lucky enough to capture the most amazing Calgarians. Everything from weddings and family milestones to professional branding and intimate boudoir sessions. I’m a certified pro, but it’s my heart and years of experience that really drive me to perfect my craft.

Whether we’re working together at my cozy home studio in Sundance or on-location wherever your life takes us, I’ve got the gear (and the passion) to make sure your session fits your story, not the other way around.

At Jodi O Photography, I don’t do stiff poses or forced smiles—just real, authentic moments filled with personality and joy. From family sessions to individual portraits, I bring warmth, creativity, and a touch of fun to every shoot.

Long Live Fun Photography!

What I offer

1. Natural, Relaxed Posing

Great portraits don’t have to feel stiff or over-posed. My approach is all about creating a comfortable, laid-back environment where you can be yourself. No need to worry about how to stand or where to put your hands, I’ll guide you through the process with gentle direction so you feel confident, at ease and can enjoy being in front of the camera.

2. Capturing the Real You

These sessions are more than just taking a nice photo. They’re about preserving a moment in time. Whether it’s a quiet, thoughtful expression or a spontaneous laugh, I want your photos to reflect who you truly are, so that when you look back, you feel proud of what we created together.

3. Studio or On-Location

Whether you feel most comfortable in the calm setting of a studio or inspired by the natural beauty around Calgary, we’ll choose a location that suits your style and busy schedule

4. Portraits with Meaning

Let’s create something special! Images that will mean just as much ten years from now as they do today. These portraits aren’t just for now; they’re timeless keepsakes that capture meaningful memories and milestones in you and your family’s life.
