PHOTOGRAPHY
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

My name is Jacqui O'Leary, and I capture the moments that matter to you

I have a friendly, bubbly, warm and empathic communication style, which radiates through the photographic work I deliver, and the outcomes achieved through my images.

My preferred style of photography includes working in the Community Services Sector in support, awareness and capacity building. I am a freelance photographer and communications consultant and I have built up a client base within community services and State politics. For photography, I have worked events, not-for-profit, government and privately with clients. I love working with women’s services, disability and advocacy, health-based NFP, and PwD generally, but my heart is connected to the work that aligns directly with my core values.

Why do I love to take photos?

I love taking photos and it is a unique privilege when someone trusts me to show them who they really are. I will walk this journey alongside you and put my whole self into the work. You will work with a seasoned photographer that will be diligently showcasing your 'best self' and to demonstrate with confidence in who you are. I will support you through the process and listen openly and respectfully about any concerns you may have with your photo being taken, so we can unpack that together. It is a joy to me to see the photos after I have finished a shoot, and I get to relive those moments we shared through the editing process. All images will be carefully edited with gentle light/shadow edits retouch in line with the style of my portfolio of images, capturing the best moments and honouring them in photographic form. Thank you for your trust in choosing me. It means so much!

You will have one-on-one time with me during a pre-shoot planning call to tailor the session to your style, interests and passions. Following this conversation where we have unpacked who you are, what you like to do and what matters most, we can discuss potential location(s) and ideas, and/or you will receive a ‘mood board’ PDF with ideas and recommendations to showcase and celebrate your unique voice and the tone of the shoot.

I take photography seriously and love catching the moments that matter, capturing the heart of an event, occasion or experience. I appreciate telling stories about everyday people living their lives. I am committed to local community issues and values and I am passionate about inclusion, diversity and providing person and family-centred best practice. I have a natural ‘people personality’ and can build relationships with ease and individualise my approach to suit a vast audience of various needs. I am energised by my work and the community naturally gravitate to me and connect through my commitment to individualise services/sessions and to work alongside you as we show your authentic self. You will love working with me and I can't wait to celebrate you!
