Had a great experience working with James. This was my first photoshoot ever and he helped me with posing, making sure my facial expressions looked natural, and even gave me fashion advice on the clothes I brought, when I asked. I only wish his studio had more backgrounds to make use of (we used 2). Highly recommended and will be hiring him again, if needed.

I will ABSOLUTELY get photos here again. In the past month, I hired many photographers and by comparison, photos at JG Studios were by far the BEST: The photoshoot experience was quick (exactly 1 hour of my time) and easy (I could see photos as taken), took quality images, affordable price, and the photographer is responsive, patient, and creative! Amazing work of art. Thank you JG Studios!

Super high quality photos. I'm very - very - very happy with the results. It is clear James has worked many years (and very skillfully) in photography. These portraits are going to work very well for me. Glad I found JG. I'll hire again.

I was delighted with the whole process -- the professional make-up job, the setting, and photographer, the results. He made it easy to look relaxed and alive. I will use JG Studios again!
