I have known Joe for nearly 15 years and feel privileged and honored to have called him a friend and confidant. He is genuine, trustworthy, breathtakingly talented, and perhaps the most passionate person I've ever encountered. His work is a direct extension of himself. He puts all of his heart and soul into every photograph he takes, caring for each image as if it were his own child, tenderly perfecting every captured moment with integrity and love. I have asked Joe to capture every major life event - my engagement, wedding, and first pregnancy. Every time he has gone above and beyond, blowing my mind with the end product of what he accomplishes in his images each and every time. In our most recent shoot together, my husband and I bared all in a very intimate maternity shoot. Even though I've known Joe for so many years, I will admit that I was nervous to be so fully vulnerable (and naked!). But he met my vulnerability with the greatest care and gentleness, making sure that I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. It was a beautiful experience and I so deeply appreciate the care he took. I can't recommend Joe enough! He is, in my humble opinion, the best photographer in Atlanta read more

Choosing a photographer is an interesting thing. The best photographs come from a mutual relationship and energy between photographer and client. I have collaborated with Joe O'Daniels, photographer of O'Studios Photography, several times over three years and three separate shoots. He is truly an artist and photographs with the precision and craft of an architect. The level of creativity and artistry he brings to each shoot can be seen in his compositional style, his choice of shoot locations and in his approach to post processing. On top of all that, he's really easy to work with--very laid back and non-threatening. He makes being in front of the camera very 'easy' and yet, he's always professional and delivers images in a timely fashion. Friends of mine who have seen his work are really taken by his images--heck, even I can't believe some of the work he's done for me. His work is simply top-flight and I have always been pleased with the images he's delivered. If you're looking for a photographer that doesn't simply take photos but works to create images, I would definitely recommend Joe and O'Studios Photography. read more

I was referred to Joe from a friend who know him personally as well as used him professionally. I was very impressed by his work. I had my first shoot with him back in August 2009. He was very helpful through the entire planning process and the shots were amazing! I have since started a family and moved out of state. When it came time for my Daughter's one year photo shoot, Joe was the only one I trusted with the task! He is not only an brilliant photographer and editor, but he is a great guy! What photographer do you know who will drive 400+miles in Atlanta rush hour traffic to beat the setting sun & show up ready to shoot with enthusiasm? He never missed a beat! My little one was so comfortable with him right from the start. I can honestly say, I have never worked with or see someone so talented and humble as Joe. He never stops trying to learn and better his craft! I am so thankful he is our photographer! Please do yourself a favor and check out his work at http://ostudiosphotography.com. I think it more than speaks for itself! Nicole read more

Seriously, get with Joe! I can't express enough how much I love my images. I look at them everyday on my wall. Joe is wonderful and really knows how to connect with his clients. One of the main reasons why I went with Joe out of all the photographers out there, including myself lol, is that his vision is so different. He truly does see things no ordinary eye sees. Each capture comes alive and it shows in every shot. I had the opportunity to see him work even before we booked our session and he is one passionate guy! Joe made my husband so comfortable at the session I believe this is the best photoshoot we've ever had. Time and time again I've had people tell me, "Your husband adores you!" And yes I know that, but when I saw the images and how Joe captured that very expression, the love, I was on the verge of tears. And it's hard to get people to be that relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. I'm truly grateful we have these images. I can't wait until we get the chance to work again!!! read more

I met Joe 2 years ago when I was looking for someone to collaborate with on an engagement session. As a photographer myself, I was looking for someone with style and skill that I admired because not only did I want to work with someone new, but I wanted to learn something. Joe sees the world differently than most. He sees it in such a beautiful way that is lost on most of us. I was blown away by the set of images he delivered to me. I kept thinking to myself, we were both at the same place. How is it that he saw things soo much more beautifully than I did! Joe is a true talent. I have known him throughout my own photography journey and I am always astounding by the way he captures people... and life. You will not be disappointed by hiring this man. I promise you... you will see yourself in a new, refreshing light. read more

Joe O'Daniels is a passionate lifestyle and wedding photographer whose style is characterized by a clean, classic and minimalist approach. Both artistic and adventurous , Joe cares about producing and delivering unique yet quality images and art. When shooting, he connections well with his clients and puts them at ease. He is respectful and very calm. Joe's work is powerful, rich in color and spontaneous. He is unafraid to go for the shot he sees. Whether that means climbing a hay bail or rolling on the ground, he captures it. I have had the opportunity to work with Joe on more than 10 occasions. We have shot numerous weddings together and Joe is always on time, organized and reliable. He is very hard working and conscious. I highly recommend O'Studios Photography. read more

Joe's style of photography was exactly what I was looking for! Instead of the common "posed and artificial", he captures those candid shots that are as natural as they are beautiful. His ability to play with light, focus and angles is a rare talent. We have used Joe for both maternity and newborn photos, giving us a "lifestyle" session that we wanted. This guy is a genius and a true artist. If you're looking for anything other than the typical (somewhat cheesy) photography, this is your guy. We have found our lifetime family photographer, someone who will flawlessly capture all of our sweet moments. read more

I have not worked with Joe in a photography capacity. I did spend a considerable amount of time with him when I was pursuing a degree in Architecture (which I later quit). Having worked with him on those projects many years ago I can speak to his work ethic, passion, honesty and his real down to earth personality. I have viewed everything he posts from the shoots he does. He has an eye for taking a generic scene and seeing something so much more. I wouldn't hesitate to use him when the time comes. Great things are coming from him all the time. read more

Joe has taken pictures of our family for several years now - and he is great with our kids (ages now 3 years and 1 year). He is professional, easy going, and the images he has taken of our children truly capture their unique personalities. The beautiful pictures we have from these sessions will allow us to preserve this very special time in our lives - and there is no other photographer we would rather have capture our family! read more

I have seen Joe photograph 2 weddings and have been very impressed with his artistry as well as his ability to keep a low profile so that no one is distracted by his work during the ceremony. It is obvious he enjoys the art of photography and enjoys the people he works with. A visit to his web site is a must! read more
