Book an Appointment

I’ve always loved capturing people’s joys, ambitions, and beauty on camera. Seeing yourself in the best light can change who how you enter a room. So, I want my clients to feel like the best and most expressive version of themselves whether it be in headshots, fashion shots, or an event shoot. A picture is worth a thousand words, and two of them will be “fierce” and “slay!” Based in Washington DC, I have a studio space and am willing to travel!

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

I had the pleasure of working with James to get new headshots. His portfolio reflects not only his skills as a photographer, but also his ability as an artist to bring out the authenticity in his clients. I have always felt uncomfortable getting my picture taken, but James made me feel confident, safe, and joyful while in front of the lens. The final product shows exactly that, as I saw myself in refreshing new ways while still seeing the familiar, authentic person I was used to. As a theatre professional, James knows exactly what we need!

I loved working with James. He provided such a fun, professional, empowering environment that led to us creating amazing photos. He is such a good collaborator and instantly fused what I brought with his artistic eye. I was delightfully surprised at how joyful and healing it was to shoot with James. He’ll bring your ‘diva’ out!

While shooting, he went out of his way to make me feel warm, confident and comfortable. Whether you’re a fan of the camera or not, James knows how to make headshots easy, light, and seriously fun. You WILL get shots of yourself laughing because working with James is just a blast.

The photos speak for themselves! I can confidently say I have become more comfortable in front of the camera because of James’ ability to find the perfect pose. 10/10.
