Very impressed with the level of professionalism in working with me. I hired Jamal to photograph a rental property for listing and LOVE how the photos turned out. The skills he used in selecting the best lighting and angles were perfect and really highlighted the space's characteristics.

Details: Solo portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Home • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Choosing to work with Jamal was truly one of the greatest decisions I could have made when it came down to finding a photographer that matched my vision. The final product after our shoot was nothing short of amazing. But what is also worth noting is not just Jamal’s exceptional skills as a photographer, but the character he displays. A man who is personable, humble, and respectable on all levels. Thank you for providing me the opportunity to showcase one of my greatest passions in life, Jamal. 100% will look to work with him in the future!

Devote media nailed this photoshoot. Lately, my confidence has been scarse, but Sirena and Jamal made me feel comfortable. They helped pick the perfect location and made the vision come to life. Thank you for not only making me feel comfortable in my skin, but making me feel beautiful! If you're looking for photos look no further! Can't wait until our family christmas shoot, I know they won't disappoint!
