About Me

Meet Indianapolis, IN Photographer

Hello! My name is Jenna Wooddell. I am the photographer behind Sweet Pea Photography. I spend most of my time being a wife and a mom. Photography has always been a hobby and something I enjoyed, but I did not take it as seriously until my son was born. It transformed from something I did just for fun into a passion.

I have always enjoyed working with children. In fact, I spent many years studying to become a mental health counselor for children. I worked as a child therapist for two years before deciding to become a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my son. I have always had an ability to understand and connect with children. Maybe it's because I'm just a big kid myself. I've found that this ability helps me to make photography sessions a fun experience for children, which tends to take the stress of of the entire family. When everyone is able to relax, we get those genuine smiles and laughs that make for great pictures.

A Special Meaning

The name Sweet Pea is very special to me. My mom could not wait to become a grandma. When my son was born in 2017, she was over the moon. From the day he was born, she would rock him and look into his eyes calling him her little sweet pea. My mom was diagnosed with cancer a few months before my son was born. She said he gave her a reason to fight. Unfortunately, she lost her battle shortly after my son's first birthday. This loss made me realize the importance of photos in preserving memories. I decided to call my business Sweet Pea Photography to honor my mom for her strength and love. I want to make sure families are able to get these priceless images, so that you and your loved ones will have these special memories to look back on for years to come.
