I'm Merenzi Young, the creative force behind Eye of Odin Studios. With over a decade of experience in portrait photography, my passion lies in capturing real, emotive moments that become timeless keepsakes. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Film and a Master’s in Marketing, which allows me to blend storytelling with strategy—creating not just beautiful images, but meaningful ones that resonate.
Before founding Eye of Odin Studios, I served four years as a Combat Cameraman in the United States Marine Corps, where I learned to shoot with purpose under pressure and developed a deep respect for the power of visual storytelling. That experience, combined with years of professional portrait work, has shaped my approach: intentional, emotional, and true to life.
My work has been award-winning and featured in both civilian and military circles, but what I value most is the connection with the families, brands, and individuals who trust me to tell their stories. Whether I’m behind the camera during a newborn session or filming a ranch lifestyle piece, I’m here to create something real—with heart, grit, and artistry.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
I'm Blake Young—a proud father of three, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach, and a former 0311 (Infantry) in the United States Marine Corps. With a Degree in Education and years of hands-on teaching experience, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others grow stronger—both on and off the mats. Whether I’m coaching kids in Jiu-Jitsu, leading hands-on ranch lessons, or raising my own wild bunch, I believe in discipline, grit, and learning through real experience.
At Eye Of Odin Studios, we started as a small photography business, and over the years, we have grown into a full-service photography studio. Our passion for photography drives us to create stunning, memorable images that you will treasure for a lifetime.
