Family and wedding photographer
Hey there, I'm Jen!
WOW—I'm so glad you're here. Truly, thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and this business I’ve poured my heart into.
I’m Jen, the girl behind the camera at O’Neal Photo Co, based in Troy, Missouri. I married my best friend, Brandon, in the fall of 2019, and getting to do life alongside him is one of my greatest joys. We have two beautiful children who have completely changed our world in the best possible way, and they’re the reason I value these fleeting moments more than ever.
Creativity has always been a part of who I am. As a shy little girl, it was my safe place - an outlet where I could express myself freely. As I grew older and began searching for direction, I realized that this love for creativity wasn’t just a hobby. It was something I could build a life around. Photography became that outlet, blending imagination with real, meaningful connection.
Over the years, I’ve learned just how important it is to be present. Life moves quickly, and while we can’t slow time down, we can hold onto the moments that matter most. That’s why I started O’Neal Photo Co - not only to fulfill my own creative passion, but to give others the gift of preserving their memories in a way that lasts forever.
This is more than just a job to me. It’s something I’ll continue to grow in and pour into for years to come. I’m so honored you’re here, and I truly cannot wait to meet you and create something beautiful together.

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace"
1 Peter 4:10
Your story, as it felt.
Because your story deserves more than perfectly posed images—it deserves to be remembered honestly.
My heart behind what I do is simple: I want to capture what’s real. The in-between moments, the laughter, the chaos, the quiet connection—the things that make your story yours. I believe the most beautiful images aren’t perfectly posed, but genuinely felt. My hope is that when you look back on your photos, you don’t just see them...You feel them.
