Jodie Donovan Photography

I have had the pleasure of working with Jodie and having her take photos of me and my family. I think we are up to 9 photo shoots now including my maternity one on the beach in January, two newborn shoot, many Christmas and summer mini sessions and a cake smash. Jodie is an absolute dream with children including my teenager. We have always received amazing natural photos graphs and some gorgeous posed ones to.Jodie communicates really well, gives advice and has patience knowing little ones can take some time to get a good photo.I have recommended Jodie to many friends and family who have used her if they managed to get a space. She is very popular so I advise booking her in early.

Jodie is amazing. She was so good with my daughter and knew just how to make her smile. Her photographs are brilliant, and we will treasure them forever.

I don't even know where to begin in saying how great Jodie was when photographing our wedding. We had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to covid and Jodie was so supportive during this time.When we married in 2021 I was 8 months pregnant! Jodie was incredible at making me feel comfortable and confident and I am so happy with our photos.Jodie was lovely throughout and captured great moments between guests so subtley. Can't thank you enough! We have such beautiful photos to treasure!

I have had the pleasure of having used Jodie recently for a family photo shoot and having just received the photos I could not be happier.We have had so many photo shoots with Jodie over the last 5 years that I have actually lost count now and this one like all the others was amazing from start to finish.Jodie could not have been more helpful before the shoot helping us select a location that was very special to us and helping to advise what colours to wear for the best photos. During the shoot Jodie got the photos we all wanted whilst also catering to my children’s pleas of ‘Jodie look at me, take my photo’ they are completely under her spell and are already asking when we can see Jodie again. And after the shoot, Jodie always gives a clear timeline of when we can expect our photos and what we are likely to receive and I know from experience that you always get great value for money with Jodie because she can’t resist taking more photos than she should!I would highly recommend Jodie to anyone looking for a photographer, from newborn to family shoots to weddings Jodie is just truly amazing I look back at our photos and they make me laugh and cry with happiness remembering the silly things my kids were doing or saying. My only problem is trying to chose which ones to print as I love them all! ❤️

We can't express enough how pleased we are with the photographs, Jodie's professionalism throughout the process, and the skill she displayed during the photo shoot itself.From start to finish, Jodie kept in touch with us, provided updates on the weather, recommendations for attire, and selected a phenomenal location for the shoot once we gave her the brief. On the day, we had some inclement weather, but Jodie's positivity encouraged us to 'stay the course,' which resulted in the perfect lighting for our family photos. She subtly and skilfully turned her attention to our children, got to know them, and made them feel comfortable. She built a trusting and fun environment which allowed her to get the very best out of the kids at a time when they're usually close to bed time.Most importantly, Jodie really captured the relationship between our son and daughter. Both the set pieces and candid shots turned out beautifully and we have some really amazing photos to choose from.We would not think twice about working with Jodie again in the future. She's captured beautifully a moment in time in the history of our family, and we're forever grateful.Thanks again Jodie!

We were recommended Jodie for our daughters first birthday cake smash and we could not have been happier with the whole experience. We were a bit worried about what kind of mood our daughter would be in but Jodie was so lovely and brought out the best in her and really made her feel at ease so she was happy throughout the photoshoot. We were sent the pictures really quickly and they were honestly perfect. I’ve recommended Jodie to several people and we will definitely be using her again.

Jodie was amazing from start to finish! We had our Christmas photos last month with Jodie, she was super warm, welcoming and honestly Jodie the kids loved you! Thank you for the most beautiful Christmas photos (we finally have photos of the five of us) from one tog to another it was so nice being Infront of the camera for a change!

I had my baby’s first birthday cake smash done with Jodie last month and all I can say is PERFECTION! The photos Jodie captured were just simply beautiful and I can’t say how pleased I am with them! They are everything I wanted and more and she got the set up absolutely perfect. Not only that but she is the kindest, friendliest lady and she was so good with my baby, like she already knew us! I will treasure these photos forever and cannot wait for another opportunity to see Jodie again! Thank you so much!

Jodie was our wedding photographer and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She took time to get to know what we’d like for our photos and got to the venue early to have a look around and find the perfect photo locations. She was fantastic with the children and we have some magical photos of them. I felt very relaxed while having my photos taken as did all the guests. The best part was the sneak peak photos that we got the following day- this meant that we had some gorgeous photos to share straight away. Would highly highly recommend Jodie- Thankyou so much for our previous memories.
