wedding & portrait Photographer
My name is Jayme, though my closest friends call me "James". It's a nickname, since childhood that my uncle gave me, So I guess it stuck!
You can count on me to capture your life & love,
as raw and real as it is.
For all the Candid Vibes + Inclusive Photographer
The Biggest thing you should know, is I am here to empower you and make your photos a true representation of who you really are. Like the song by Nirvana goes, "come as you are, as you're meant to be". I like to do things a bit differently, so I am highly involved in the process leading up to the actual photographing, because I always want to make sure that your photos are true, raw, and real. If this sounds like your vibe, I'm willing to bet I could be the perfect photographer for you.
This is a judgement-free zone, I think it is really important to be inclusive, and everyone is beautiful in all ways. I am LGBTQ+IA & BIPOC friendly, creating an inviting environment no matter what. I've photographed people from all walks of life, orientations, and skins tones. Photography is an art form, and I believe that everyone deserves their own unique experience of being in front of the camera.
There are thousands of photographers, and I think the fact that you landed on my site, means it was meant to be. You found me and my work, and it made you feel something - the emotions of a wedding day, the feeling of empowerment, connection of a family capturing their precious memories, or the laughs of a couple in love. It all is important and meaningful. But I am so glad you are here and thank you for the opportunity to work with you!

R&B and Rock
Born in the 80s and raised in the 90s, I enjoyed great music from that time. I still listen to it now, and my playlists are full of these songs.
