Hi! My name is Jenna Burress. I am passionate about Public Relations, Human Relations, Photography and Philanthropy. I am excited to share my work with you!
A Little About me
I grew up a big sports fan, and I love staying up to date with all types of sports! Outside of work, I enjoy discovering new music, going to coffee shops, reading and continuing to develop my photography skills.
My Passions
My love of sports photography began in 2019 covering my high school football team, and I have been passionate about it since that first assignment. Beyond photography, I have always had a heart for community service and philanthropy.

I am passionate about building relationships and working in team-oriented environments, especially within athletics. My experience at the University of Oklahoma helped me discover how much I enjoy collaborating with different groups to achieve a shared goal. I also love storytelling through photography and content creation, capturing moments in a way that connects with audiences.
One of my biggest strengths is my ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines. I have worked in multiple environments where timing and accuracy are critical. My experiences have taught me how to anticipate needs, adapt quickly and deliver high-quality work in high-pressure situations. I am especially strong in communication and relationship building. I enjoy collaborating with different groups, whether it is clients, team personnel or community partners. Creatively, I am drawn to visual storytelling and content planning. Through photography and social media, I have learned how to capture key moments and translate them into engaging content that connects with audiences and supports broader goals.
Dig a Little Deeper
I worked on the OU Daily photo desk from Jan. 2023 until my graduation from the University of Oklahoma in May 2026. My time on the desk provided me with opportunities to shoot various sports, news, and cultureevents. On the desk, I used Canon equipment and Adobe Lightroom Classic for shooting and editing. In addition to the growth experienced on the desk, I learned how to edit in a timely manner and tell a story through my photography. I share my favorite work from sports and events on my photography Instagram!
