“Jodi Sparkles!” When I spoke with one of Jodi’s childhood friend, Linda, to describe Jodi, these were her first words to me. She then went on to say how caring, thoughtful Jodi is but most importantly how she can get things done. I got a chuckle when Linda mentioned that as tiny as Jodi is, in their school days, Jodi could beat the boys at most sports. “She loves to dance to Donna Summer!” and so we played Donna Summers in her session.
Jodi O'Donnell-Ames came in for her Beyond 50 portrait session and saying that she lit the screen on fire, will be an understatement! Her story is truly remarkable and she touches everyone she meets. As a founder of Hope Loves Company, here is a woman who is all about substance, grit and tenacity! And as the day went along I learnt she is anmotivational speaker (no surprise!), coach, community builder, athlete and no surprise, multiple award winner.
See below her portraits from her Beyond 50 portrait session:
“Jodi is a giant and her spirit is alight. It is just comforting to be in the same room as her. She has the most beautiful eyes. Eyes that can see and sense even when they are closed. Jodi has an awareness that transcends.” - Pete, a friend of Jodi’s said.
Oh, yes, we agree and how!
