Meet James

My parents got me my first camera when I was 7, a disposable camera from a fast-food joint. Ever since then, photography was my passion. When I was 18, I started my photography career and in 2011, I launched Dodge & Burn Studios.

​

The name is a nod to the darkrooms that I spent many hours in. Most of my days are spent in Photoshop and Lightroom now, but the dodge and burn concept is still around.

​

I love working with families and their kiddos. I feel like playing and having fun can create great memories for us to capture. I also enjoy working with seniors. I like helping seniors feel comfortable and have fun in front of the camera. I remember what it was like when I was a senior in high school and the last thing I wanted to do was to have my photo taken. I'll make sure we have a good time and walk away with something awesome.

​

When I'm not behind the camera, I'm probably playing with my kids, playing guitar, or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen.

​

Thanks for checking me out and I can't wait to work with you.
