Meet Christy

I’m so happy you’re here.

I love capturing the real personality of your family—paired with that beautiful Southern California sunshine—and turning it into something you’ll hold onto for years.

I keep sessions simple and relaxed so you can actually enjoy the time together, not just move through photos.

My goal is always the same: that you walk away thinking,
“That was actually really fun.”

How it Started

My family is the reason this all began.

We have nine kids—two girls and seven boys—ranging from 27 to 9, with four still at home. Life is full, a little loud, and always moving.

Photography started as a hobby back in 1998 when my firstborn arrived, and over time it grew into something I never expected—but truly love.

I also earned a B.S. in Applied Math and Physics from SDSU, which makes this creative path feel even more meaningful.

Christy Odom Photography officially launched in 2013 (once I had a built-in team of helpers at home), and since then I’ve photographed over 1,600 sessions.

Honestly... I'll take it 😂

Thank you!

I’m so grateful for every family who has trusted me with their memories.

It means more than I can fully put into words, and I feel really lucky to keep doing this year after year.

I’d love to meet you and create something beautiful together.
