Dear Renata, Thank you for all of the beautiful images you’ve captured of my children over the years. As a fellow mom, I know you can appreciate the challenge of making time to document your kids growing up. Our sessions with you have produced spectacular images that are both spontaneous and natural as well as more formal portraits. You are a pleasure to work with - warm and creative. It’s fun to watch you work as you climb around or sink to the ground to gain different points of view for your photos. Such energy! We always appreciate your prompt, excellent, personal service. Fondly, Karen Moore
Good Evening Renata, With all the conversation we were having when you were here I did not get to look at the Disc until this evening when I looked at it and also took another, and longer, look at all the photos. A GREAT JOB!!!! Thank you for all the effort and good work you put into it. Not only are the pictures great, but you put the disc together in a beautiful format. We love the way you did it. The cover and the inside pictures are just great. Thank you for doing that way and for putting a picture on the disc itself. You can use us for a reference any time! THANKS FOR A GREAT JOB AND FOR PRODUCING SOMETHING WE WILL ALL ENJOY!Thanks and best wishes.

Renata is by far the most fun photographer! She took my ideas for photos and did exactly what I wanted, and then some. The zany ideas that she came up with (poses, outfits, scenery, jewelry) ended up being my favorite photos! I have now had three shoots with Renata and I love her just as much as my pictures! I can't wait to do another shoot with her soon! Emily Kaye Seamans
Hi Renata,I wanted to send you a note of thanks for the fantastic job you did photographing our family and capturing such great memories for us. You were so great for being flexible in accommodating us on such short notice as well, we were so thankful for that.Thank you again for your kindness, great talent and giving us the special gift in pictures that my family and I will always treasure. All the best, Michelle Corcoran
If you are looking for an amazing photographer then Renata is your person. She is very creative and utilizes that creativity in her shots. When working with kids she is patient and knows how to get her subjects to pose for the perfect picture. From portraits to action photos she does a fantastic job.. I would highly recommend O'Donnell Photography. Karen Tucker
If you are looking for the best photographer - look no further. Shes kind, warm, EXTREMELY knowledgeable and exceptionally talented! From sports to headshots, she has an eye that can not be beat. Thank you Renata, for everything you've done for us! Julie Court
Renata has photographed our family numerous times as well as other photography sessions. She is fantastic working with all ages and she is so knowledgeable with sessions especially outdoors and utilizes the backgrounds with her subjects to the fullest! Linda O'Leary
The photographer Renata O'Donnell comes from a Brazilian fashion modeling background & it shows! She has photographed me multiple times over the years initially for senior portraits, & then for fashion photography as I grew older. She offers both dramatic lighting for portraits in her personal studio space, AND gorgeous backgrounds out & about in beautiful outdoor Maine settings. Over the years she has photographed me at Fort Williams & Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth with the crashing waves in the background, & at the Old Orchard Beach pier/carousel for amazing, colorful, unique shots. These kind of options are unlike any other photographer in the area. Her prices are super reasonable & you get the most bang for your buck. Renata has so much fun with her clients & will instantly make you feel comfortable & look natural posing out & about in public- not always easy!- & will take whatever time is needed to get the perfect shots. A truly talented photographer- I highly recommend! Emily Hodder
Dear Renata, I am so glad that my mom and I walked by your studio while on vacation! The pictures in the windows drew us in for a closer look and we loved what we saw. While walking back to the condo I decided that I wanted my senior pictures taken in Old Orchard Beach instead of Rome, NY. We called and you were able to fit us in during our brief stay in Maine.This was the first time that I had professional portraits taken and I was very unprepared. I was on vacation with a suitcase full of shorts and swimsuits. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to fine tune my “look” for my senior pictures. You supplied makeup, jewelry and lots of laughs!. I had such a good time! It was difficult to decide which shot to use in the yearbook, there were so many favorites. Thank you for a memorable experience. Alexis Bravo
Renata did an amazing job for our wedding! She captured so many moments that happen so quickly. She went way above and beyond that I had expected. Definitely try O’Donnell Photography. Greer Wechsler
