Gas Stations: the New Wild West

Destination, Travel, Weddings

In case you missed it, we’re in another wave of sky-rocketing gas prices. With lots of jokes comparing this to our 2020 toilet paper shortage, it only seemed right to hit the brakes and commemorate the good old times when gas was a mere 31 cents back in 1959 when Hank’s Trading Post first opened […]

New Zealand Lavender Field Portratis

Destination, Portraits, Travel

Lavender Fields in New Zealand?!? Yes please! Wanaka is a mere hour north of Queenstown and so worth the trip! But I must say that capturing sweet moments between Dallas and MacCoy tucked away between rows of lavender was the perfect way to experience it.

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

"Makes you feel like
you're magazine worthy!"

"Shelby is simply amazing. She knows how to help you relax, guide you into poses and provide you with a finished product that makes you feel like you're fashion-magazine worthy (even if you're like me - just your 'average' bride)! She's incredibly kind, creative and upbeat. I felt like my best friend was taking my photos!

Peyton & joseph

I am so grateful to have these
pictures for the rest of my life.

My experience with Odessa James Photography was amazing!! My fiancé and I felt so comfortable behind the camera which isn’t usually the case and the photos turned out even more amazing then I thought! She did a fabulous job capturing the little moments. I am so grateful to have these pictures for the rest of my life!

TRICIA & ZACK

I can imagine having
every single photo framed.

I really hope I can put into words how incredibly impressed & happy we are with Shelby. She photographed our wedding and I can imagine having every single photo framed and put on our walls. Shelby did an amazing job capturing our wedding day but her work goes way beyond that! She was genuine, fun and just as adventurous as us! I could not recommend her and her work enough.
