[ABOUT ME]

Hi, I'm James!

I am a creative that was born & raised in Southern California, and I have always love celebrating and cherishing the small moments in life. I have always love taking photos since I was kid, although never took it seriously until my junior year of college and now doing it for fun while giving back anyway I can. When I am out & about, I will always have a digital or film camera in-hand as I document my life for my future-self to look back at.


Outside of snapping photos, you can always find me singing my heart out at a concert, spontaneously going on road trips or exploring hidden gems with friends, or learning how to chef it up in the kitchen without burning it down (JOKING… I am a good cook, I swear).


That's a lil bit about me! It would be an absolute honor and privilege to be able to capture & document your special moment for you and your loved ones to cherish forever!

[PORTFOLIO]

Authentic Stories,
Genuine Connection

Photography, to me, is more than snapping a photo. It is a form of self-expression and art that preserves a moment in time that one can admire and resonate with. Each photo tells a story, and when all pieced together, we are able to see a glimpse of one's journey or pathway. It becomes a reminder of the lives we once lived and how they shaped us to become who we are today.


It has become more than a creative outlet, but also a chance to connect with others by creating meaningful , genuine relationships and hearing their stories. I am drawn to the beauty of these raw emotions that we express through joy and happiness. I fell in love with being able to capture these moments for others to look back on and relive. I hope to tell a story that lasts a lifetime through the series of photos I have taken since the beginning.
