Happy birthday Craig!

Craig celebrated his 50th birthday last weekend in Odessa!  His wife Laura worked with Kelli “The Social Butterfly” (a wonderful wedding/event planner based out of Odessa) to create an amazing bash!  Craig was surrounded with friends & family to celebrate his big day.

Craig & Laura arrived in a cool vintage car.  I felt a bit like the paparazzi as I took these pics.

The food was fantastic!  These strawberries were some of the best I have eaten in a long time.

This was such a fun party!  Everyone enjoyed the loaded food & beverage bars and casino games.


Guests also enjoyed the venue’s outdoor patio/pavilion.

These natural flowers were in bloom on the patio.  Aren’t they gorgeous?

Adorable rice paper lanterns glowed with candlelight as the sun set.


Stephanie and Travis: We will

Last week Stephanie and Travis drove in from Andrews to join me in for their engagement session in Odessa. Stephanie wanted a fun, modern engagement shoot with bright & colorful images. We spent the evening running around Odessa and stopping at several locations that I had pre-selected as well as some that we discovered that night.

We did not realize it when we were taking the shot, but the graffiti in the background says “TSB” which is what the couple’s initials will be.

Devin’s senior portraits at The Willows

This past week I had the opportunity to photograph Devin for her senior portraits.  We met at The Willows in Odessa, Texas for the shoot.

Odessa session at The Shack in the Back

Logan is a super lucky six-year-old girl from Odessa. Not only did she get to experience a custom portrait session but she was able to do it with style! For this fun photo shoot, I met Logan and her parents at The Shack in the Back in Odessa, Texas. Logan enjoyed our time together and was excited to tell me all about her action-filled summer.

Miss Logan may have a sparkling career in photography ahead of her. She loves taking pictures and carries her camera with her at all times. portrait odessa (the shack)odessa-shack odessa-portrait session Odessa-portrait session Odessa-portraits portrait portraits I travel frequently to Odessa. If you are interested in a photography session in the Odessa Texas area, I would love to work with you! There is no mileage fee for travel within Midland or Odessa, Texas.

Jackie’s senior pictures

Jackie is an Odessa, Texas senior girl who currently lives in Florida. She came home to Odessa for the summer to visit family and wanted to take some senior portraits while she is “home” in Texas. She wants to return to Florida with custom senior pictures that are different from what everyone in Florida will have. Jackie had a blast at our session. She brought along some “entertainment” (family members) who kept her laughing throughout the shoot.
