Hello! I’m John Osterhoudt, a Louisville, KY based professional photographer and media producer with more than ten years of experience. My most important job is not being a photographer. It’s being a husband and father. When I’m not taking photos, I’m spending time with my wife and two young sons and pursuing a graduate degree in John Paul II Studies at The University of St. Thomas.

I did my first paid photography gig in 2015 when I was studying theatre directing and video production at Ball State University. That’s where I learned to be a video journalist, which is what I did for over four years after college before quitting to focus on my family and my photography business.

When I was a journalist, I learned so much about storytelling, truth-telling, and capturing great images. That experience shapes my style as a photographer. Whether I’m photographing weddings and other sacraments, I strive to capture the True, Good, and Beautiful. I have a photojournalistic style with true-to-life colors and warm tones. I can be a fly-on-wall when I need to, and other times I break out my interviewer/director side. It all depends on the story of what I’m capturing. While my work obviously looks good on Instagram, my photography is made for the walls of your home. It’s made to outlast all of us and become family memories for future generations. That’s really what motivates me.
