Expertise

Photography

I take pictures that tell a story. My camera is my tool to show the world's true colors and the special moments that make life wonderful. Every photo is a chance to freeze a memory just as it is.

Videography

I make videos that capture life's best bits. By putting together scenes like pieces of a puzzle, I create movies that share powerful tales and bring out all the feels.

Lightroom / Capture One

I use Lightroom and Capture One to make good photos look amazing. It's like adding small touches to a photo – it brings out the best in a picture.

Photoshop

In Photoshop, I bring portraits to life, perfecting every detail with a retouching skill that transforms ordinary images into striking pieces of art. From smoothing out imperfections to highlighting the unique features of each face, I craft portraits that tell a vivid story and capture the essence of the individual.

Davinci Resolve

With Davinci Resolve, I breathe life into every story, ensuring that even the roughest footage is transformed into a visual treat. It's all about turning the ordinary into the extraordinary in every aspect of the video.

Photographer / Videographer

Hi, I’m Jim. When I’m not out capturing life through the lens during the golden hour with backlight, you might find me enjoying a peaceful moment with a good cup of coffee. It’s this simple pleasure that often reminds me of why I picked up a camera in the first place – to find and celebrate those hidden wonders that surround us each day. Photography to me is much more than just a click of a shutter; it’s a way to pause time, to hold on to the moments that make us pause and look a little closer. I’m all about those candid shots that tell a story, the natural expressions that speak volumes, and the landscapes that beckon us to step into the scene. If you’re on the hunt for someone to capture the essence of your story or to freeze a special moment in time, I’m your photographer. Whether it’s the quiet intimacy of a portrait or the expanse of a natural vista, I approach every project with the same enthusiasm and commitment. So let’s connect over a shared love for photography and a good brew. Together, we’ll explore the hidden wonders of your world and capture them in images you’ll treasure forever.
