Hi, I'm Jean Oakley. I am from and currently live in Englewood, FL so I'm very familiar with our beautiful surroundings in the area! Many of my clients are visiting and may be staying at The Gasparilla Inn and Club on Boca Grande (Gasparilla Island) or Inn at the Beach in Venice, FL. Whether you are visiting or local, we will find a beautiful back drop for your photos!
Growing up I was the family "shutterbug" capturing birthdays, family gatherings and special times with friends. Looking back I treasure those fleeting moments. Today, many years later, I feel like that same girl with the camera.
Becoming a professional photographer was a natural extension of my favorite hobby, my LOVE of meeting and working with new people and ten years of experience working with film and print. I enjoy capturing memories of families, couples and individuals in an outdoor, relaxed environment as it brings forth natural smiles with a beautiful backdrop. I have been photographing professionally since 2007 and am looking forward to many more years of creating priceless memories!
My goal is to create a genuine rapport with each of my clients and to provide them with remarkable images. It is important that everyone is comfortable, relaxed and having fun. Emotions will always shine through in a photograph, so relax and just be yourself!
Giving Back To The Community
Giving back is the best feeling in the world! Last year I started a food drive around the holidays with Englewood Helping Hand. Along with my community we were able to feed hungry families in the Englewood area throughout the holidays. This year I am back at it with another food drive. Every little bit helps and I will be doing more. I've reached out to the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast to see how I can help in the coming year. We all need to be kept accountable so feel free to ask me what I am up to lately. I would love to talk to you about simple ways that we can all make a difference.
2023 Food Drive Englewood, Florida
