I recently had my first professional photo shoot with James Garrahan, and it was an amazing experience. Throughout the session, I felt confident and at ease, thanks to James’ patience and guidance. He provided me with lots of helpful tips and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend booking James for any of your photography projects, as he will take great care of you and capture amazing photos! Thank you, James G!!

Working with James was by far one of the greatest experiences! While I don't view myself as photogenic and I'm a bit shy in front of the camera, within minutes of working with James, I was put at ease and my photos are proof of the fun we had during the session. James went above and beyond with seeming ease. He captured my personality and what I wanted to convey in my professional headshots and social media pictures. By the end of the session, I felt and looked like a supermodel, seconded by my closest friends. James is personable, professional, and certainly an expert in his field. I cannot wait to work with him again and I HIGHLY recommend him! Pictures to come!

James provided a professional headshot for me. I loved the results- it was exactly what I was hoping for! He was a great photographer to work with and got my proofs back very quickly for my review. He is highly experienced. I would strongly recommend him!

James was professional and prompt in setting up the shoot for my headshots. He pre-visited the location for best shots and was easy and fun to work with. I got my first set of proofs that night and the final photos & retouching was beautiful.
