Meet & Work with Gigi
Meet Gigi | Portrait Photographer in Florida
Gigi O’Dea is an international award-winning portrait photographer in Florida best known for her creative, fine-art style and powerful storytelling portraits. Having earned a Master Photographer and Master Artist degree and as a Certified Professional Photographer through PPA, she has been awarded Photographer and Artist of the Year at the local, state, and national levels. Her passion is for creating unique portraits that stand out from the rest, with a fine art touch that elevates her work.
As owner of Gigi Fine Art Portraits, Gigi has over 2 decades of professional experience photographing newborns, children, families, and pets in her Florida studio and around the USA. She first discovered her love for being behind the camera when she became a mother and adopted her oldest child in 2002. A 20-year background in neonatal intensive care nursing gave her a special talent for working with newborns and babies, which boosted her photography from a hobby into a business and eventually her full-time career.
Over the years, she has focused her attention on learning and growing by developing new skills, both behind the camera and in digital post production. Gigi strives to keep her work relevant while standing out and always improving her craft.
There is nothing sweeter to me than a baby's smile, or the look new parents give when they see their newborn go through a variety of facial expressions. It's moments like these that make me think that I have the greatest job in the world. I've always known that babies would be a major part of my life. That is why I chose to be an NICU nurse, taking care of sick and premature babies. It was after the adoption of my first child that I discovered my love for photography. After ten years in the photography business, another child and lots of beautiful babies photographed, and I am still as excited about picking up my camera as I was in the beginning. I feel blessed to be able to work with so many wonderful families as they welcome their newest additions into the world.
