About Me
Hi, I’m Dakota Higginbotham, a photographer based in Odessa, Texas. I’m blessed with a wonderful husband and a beautiful little girl who inspire me everyday.
Photography has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I’m incredibly grateful to now turn that passion into a career. From capturing life’s tiniest details to its biggest milestones, my goal is to preserve your most meaningful moments with care, creativity, and heart.
About Dakota Mae Photography
I capture all of life’s most precious moments—the ones that make your heart full and the ones you never want to forget. Every session with DMP is designed to preserve your true emotion: the unconditional love between your family, children, or significant other. I focus not only on the quiet, tender moments but also on capturing the chaos we thrive in, the laughter that fills the room, and, of course, the love that binds it all together.
Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to these sweet moments!
