My fiancée and I scheduled a 1/2 day tour with James early March of 2017 and it was amazing! James…read morebrought us to two fantastic locations, one of which we would never have discovered without his exceptional knowledge of Central Oregon. The weather was dreary, as to be expected in early March, but James taught us how to use our cameras (I just had an iPhone, but he didn't judge me!) to capture the best possible photos in inclement weather. My fiancée was so impressed with what James taught him, that he cancelled his ski trip the next day to go out and take photos with his new skills. We plan on booking a tour with James every season of the year, for many years to come, and we recommend that you folks do too!

Stunning landscape photography at a new gallery in Bend. The photographer has captured beautiful…read moreimages all over the U.S., but his favorite place to shoot is the Columbia Gorge. There is a personal connection to his images for me since we both grew up in the East Bay and were inspired by childhood visits in the Sierra Nevada. The images remind me most of Elizabeth Carmel based in Truckee, California, whose work also seems to capture nature at its best. One of these days I hope both photographers' images will adorn the walls of my home. His framed images can run to the thousands of dollars, but are available in a variety of sizes, all the way down to greeting cards. If you aren't able to visit the gallery, you can order through his website, or purchase his book of photography, Journey of Light. His gallery will become a place a visit on every trip to Bend.

This is a wonderful two-story gallery of art in Bend, OR. While visiting a friend who lives in that…read morearea, he brought us here to view the scenic images while he spoke with the photographer. Our friend was signed up to take a photography class from this photographer - lucky him. I love taking pictures and I enjoy looking at pictures captured by someone else just as much. The gallery is worth stopping in. Beautiful colors and bright images. There was a cow in a field that I liked best - wish I could have brought her home with me.

Her eye for framing a picture is superb and she plays well with light/water so if you have the opportunity to do a beach shoot with her TAKE IT. The value is incomparable. She was so patient with kids, dogs- unphased by toddlers shrieking or puppies running amok. She stayed cheerful and even though I thought our pictures were not going to turn out very well - SHE GOT SO MANY AMAZING SHOTS! Holiday shopping is officially DONE because I am plastering these lovely pics on mugs and ornaments - anything that will accept them. I have known her to do showers, birth photo shoots and holiday shoots and every time it is magic behind the lens. Cannot recommend her enough (I have already passed out her info to all of my friends).

We were blown away to see how much of our big day she had captured and how great of a job she had done getting some incredible pictures. She was very open-minded to our photo ideas and helped to make the whole session feel incredibly personalized. She was also incredibly prompt about getting our photos back to us as well!!

I've had the opportunity to work with Josh twice now, and I'm completely impressed with the quality…read moreof his work and his professionalism. My husband and I first hired Josh to take a family portrait. Husband and I take a family photo each year on or around our anniversary. In the past we've relied on selfies, our camera's timer, or a friend/neighbor/whoever is around (ie, the server whatever restaurant we're at) to take the photo. This year we decided to treat ourselves to an upgrade and have a professional portrait taken, since we hadn't had professional photos taken since our wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased with the experience! Josh came to our home (Josh helped us chose the location for the shoot...we got married in our backyard so this made perfect sense) and found the perfect setting in front of our house. He shot from a few different angles and even managed to get our dogs to cooperate! Considering that my husband and I are both fairly stiff in front of a camera, Josh managed to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. The second time I worked with Josh was for my professional headshots. Josh and I chatted before the shoot, he wanted to know what sort of professional image I wanted to portray. From there, he translated my "wish list" into reality and captured exactly what I'd envisioned: a softer, outdoor, non-stuffy headshot. While his work speaks for itself, I have no reservations in recommending Josh to anyone/everyone who asks me about the photos he's taken for us.
