Had my first ever shoot with James on 26th April.

I absolutely loved it. Time just flew by. James brought along with him a glorious selection of vintage clothing that I was lucky enough to model. His very talented wife even HAND MADE a skirt and the most beautiful woolen shawl specifically for the shoot! I can't even begin to express just how special and pretty I felt!

Pre coms were absolutely impeccable, James is so well organised for his shoots. He knows exactly the types of shots he wants to achieve to fit in with whatever the theme is.

I highly recommend that you work with James, you will be transported back in time to vintage fabulousness!

Today I had my first fantastic shoot with James. We did a shoot at the pumpkin field which was so amazing!

He picked me up from the local train station and he was very well prepared for the shoot and also his communication before was great with all necessary information needed for the shoot. Also I got a mood board with the shoot ideas so I knew what type of outfits I needed to bring with me, which is extremely helpful as I didn't need to over pack and carry all unwanted outfits.

The shoot was very nice and very relaxed. It was really pleasant and easy to shoot with James.

Thank you so much for the amazing shoot and hopefully we can work together again very soon :)

James is lovely to work with and has a chatty, relaxed and caring Manor which made the shoot feel relaxed and free.I absolutely love the images we created and James gave good advice/tips along with some lovely compliments during our shoot which is lovely to hear and boosts confidence.

I had my second shoot with James yesterday and it was one our best ones yet. It’s so nice when you find a photographer who you really get along with. He captured some absolutely beautiful images, and I’m really pleased with how they turned out.

Also he has a great sense of humour which is one thing I love!

Looking forward to working with him again in the near future :) x

Recently had a shoot with James, and I absolutely loved it.

This was my first outdoors shoot, and he made me feel really comfortable. He has a way of making you feel at ease and we got on really well. His years worth of photography experience makes him suitable for models of all levels.

I also loved the fact that he is so organised. I turned up on the day knowing the theme and style of the shoot, how long we would be shooting for, the outfits etc. He even turned up at the location beofre me to find the perfect area. Its the small things like that that make him such a great photographer.

Overall I had a really lovely day, he is an amazing guy to work with and I wish him all the best :) x

Pre-comms with James were brilliant; kept regular contact and is highly organised. James is a kind and lovely photographer - time with him just passes by.

He has a great eye for images and has brilliant ideas; we had a great rapport which meant we bounced fab ideas off of each other.

Thank you for a brilliant shoot - hope to shoot again soon! Highly recommend.

A beautiful day out with funny Jimbo made me very comfortable and brought out lots of creative ideas on both sides. He explained everything he did with the camera and was eager to try out odd ideas. He knew the most amazing spots and really had a feel for nature and beauty. I enjoyed our shoot very much and feel like I've progressed a lot modellingwise and in my knowledge of cameras. Thanks James!!!

I had one of the best shoots with James on Friday!

He comes loaded with idiotic puns that left me groaning (and smirking, not gonna lie) and is super duper friendly!

He ticks all the boxes he shoot - great pre-comms, professional, made sure I was comfortable, arrived when he said he would, made sure my ideas where covered and has already edited some pretty pictures, yay!

I genuinely had a fantastic time and would definitely work with James again, even if it means sitting through his silly jokes! :D

Fabulous enthusiasm and passion for his art, plus, he's a funny person, which made the job fun and spontaneous! He also has a broad range of beautiful bucolic locations to shoot. Such a bonus! Would recommend :)

I had a pleasure to work with James recently and it was great! He had a vision and idea I liked and it all started from there. I enjoyed shooting with him as he is very friendly, professional and easy to work with. He created relaxed atmosphere on set - despite the theme being a bit disturbing and uneasy. His pre-shoot communications were clear and sent quickly –he updated me everyday :)

I'm looking forward to our next shoot and I highly recommend working with him

I had a shoot with James a few weekends ago, there was great communication, he comes prepped with wardrobe items and choses some fantastic locations. He is kind and friendly, respectful and a great photographer. Would highly recommend him for any shoot.
