"I thoroughly enjoyed working with James. James is extremely talented and hard-working. He continually strives to come up with new, creative concepts and pushes himself to expand beyond his current standards. In addition, his professionalism is unmatched. He was very easy to work with and made me feel very comfortable during our shoot. I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone!"

"Having worked with James more than once, I can say he is a go-getter, very easy to work with, timely, flexible, and always acts with extreme professionalism. James takes the time to properly plan for a shoot, corresponding back and forth to ensure the shoot is carefully thought out. He is so personable and also takes the time to develop a relationship between client and himself, which results in capturing meaningful quality images. Additionally, he has gone above and beyond to help me out with my own fitness modeling goals. I always look forward to any opportunity I can to work with James. With all these outstanding qualities I don't see anything but success in his future!"

"There's not enough space to list all the reasons why James is so amazing but just to name a few… He is with out a doubt one of the most professional photographers that I've ever worked with! He's always very well organized and knows exactly what he wants and exactly how to get that breath-taking shot. He made me feel super comfortable within seconds of meeting him and his "happy-go-lucky" personality made shooting easy, exciting/fun and totally stress free. I don't know how he does it but James makes magic! I'm always amazed when I see the final results of his work, because every time he goes above and beyond my expectations! I believe that James is one of Arizona's most talented photographers, and I'm looking forward to seeing what amazing things he has hidden up his sleeve. If you get the chance to work with this "magician" don't pass it up!"

I do have a hair and make up artist available for print or commercial projects.
