Jen Osojnicki, Photographer

Who Am I?

I am an artist, a memory maker, a historian, and a documentary specialist. I love to study people and watch their interactions. Smiling happy faces and heartfelt embraces, stolen glances and once-in-a-lifetime chances…these are the images I love to capture. It’s those soulful moments when people think you aren’t watching that are so often the most revealing. I get my best shots when my subjects think I am not taking them.

Since receiving a Polaroid camera as a birthday gift at the age of 12, I’ve been fascinated with the art of photography. As I watched that first picture coming to life in my hands, I knew I would be a photographer.

My professional background includes more than 20 years of taking photographs for weddings, families, and businesses. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Photography and have worked in several professional photography studios. I’ve taught high school photography as well as photography seminars. My work has been published, and I once was selected as a Boston Globe award recipient.

Currently I reside in Cumberland, Rhode Island, with my husband, Derek, and our three greyhounds: Rosie, Andy, and Tucker.

What Do I Do?

Lifestyle Portraits ($125 for 90 minutes)
These days families are requesting a more relaxed approach to family portraits. I like to think of the process as lifestyle portraits—capturing people in their most comfortable or natural environments. I will join you and your family wherever you feel the most comfortable, at home, in a park, or on the beach. Instead of the more traditional portrait approach, in which you select one or two primary images from the sitting, our more relaxed interactions will produce a whole catalog of images to review and choose from.

Wedding Documentaries (Packages start at $1500)
I am the lead photographer on all of my wedding shoots and conduct them in an unobtrusive documentary style of photography that records your most special day as it unfolds naturally. Throughout the event I draw on influences from many styles like photojournalism, fine art, traditional portraiture, and current trends in fashion photography.

Commercial Shoots (Call for a quote)
Whatever your business marketing needs, I can help, whether it is attending a special event, setting up a photo shoot to meet specific needs, taking professional head shots, or shooting any other footage for your visual needs.
