Looking back on this year and there are some key moments that I feel helped personally define 2019 for me. This is the year I quit my design job and dove headfirst into running a business and photographing such beautiful moments for couples. Over the next week I’ll try to share some of these moments that you all gave me! ⭐️ Moment #1 New Zealand with @tylerrye_ Never dreamed I’d be capturing stunning shots like these all while adventuring across the country with my husband and some other inspiring photographers. My husband, David, is my biggest cheerleader, and getting to experience NZ and fall in love with photography TOGETHER is a memory I’ll treasure forever. . . . . .

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.

of grace every single second."

RAMUNE & BEN

The most talented, kind-hearted,
and creative photographer!

She was absolutely amazing at capturing precious moments and interactions as well as scenery and landscape at our destination wedding in Maine. She has a way of making you feel at ease and while helping stage the most wonderful photos! Highly recommend! She's not only excellent at her job but also is one of kindest people you'll ever meet!.
