What Amazing family photos! Thank you so much Kim, for
sharing your Amazing Talent, passion, professionalism and creativity with our
family! It was a true joy and a wonderful experience.

My fiancé and I booked Kim James as our wedding
photographer in a sort of impulsive way, slightly unusual then the approach
many couples take. After a brief phone call and within less than a week Kim was
taking our engagement photos. Regardless of the short time span and lack of
customary meetings and getting to know you conversations..., working with Kim
has been such a great experience. Kim is very professional, super helpful and
flexible in meeting our needs. No detail is overlooked by Kim! Her sense of
adventure and creative mind makes her fun to work with and guarantees GREAT
pictures that go beyond simple portraits to become true pieces of art. Kaitlin Bauer
Kim James is not only a photographer. She is a mother,
friend, leader, writer, painter, chef, florist (I could keep going).... and she
is amazing at all of it. Yet her raw ability to see so much life through the
lens makes her talent unmatched against any other photographer. It takes
someone very gifted to take any ordinary subject and transform it into a
hundred beautiful pictures. Kim James has this gift. Not to mention she is
smart as a whip and so much fun to work with!

Kim James is such an incredible person/photographer! I was
so blessed to have her shoot my wedding last summer (2009) in Lake Almanor. Who
would have thought a photographer that amazing lived in the area!? Her strategy
and vision is brilliant... from a engagement session, to get comfortable with
each of us (the couple) so she knows what she is up against for the wedding
day, to walking you step by step of what to expect day of. I even had her do a
private boudoir session with me alone the week before to give to my “new”
husband as a wedding gift. Her turnaround time is wonderful and her pricing is
very fair…I could not have ask for a better person to do the job! Heather Johnson-Walker
Where do I begin. I saw Kim's work for the first time
when I saw my friend Jamie's wedding photos. Right then I knew I wanted to book
her for my wedding. Kim shot our engagement photos first. It was such a nice
touch to meet Kim and get comfortable with each other before the wedding day.
She is very through in making sure you get all the special shots you want on
your "big day". She is very professional in all aspects of her work.
We all (the whole family) fell in love with her. The wedding went
flawlessly! Kim's photos depict her passion. The intimate moments of the
very special times in one’s life. The images she has taken are priceless and
stand the test of time. Captured moments that the camera remembers even after
our minds get a bit fuzzy.
I have had the privilege of working with Kim on a third
occasion, with my horse Grace.
I nearly lost my horse when she fell to colic in 08'. She is
now fully recovered and Kim shot Grace and I in beautiful Susiun, CA. Those
images that depict our bond will remain long after Grace is gone.
I look forward to using Kim multiple times in the years to
come. Family photos, and possibly maternity.......may be in the future! I feel
very honored to have worked with Kim, and enjoy her photography; she really is
quite an Artist!!

I have known Kim for many years now, as I went to school
with her oldest son. When I got married in the summer of 2007 I asked Kim if
she would help with the organizing part of my wedding since I already had
chosen a photographer. Kim took some pictures anyway because she was just
beginning to build her business. I wish now that I had chosen her to do all my
wedding pictures as the ones she took were ten times better than the others.
Since then Kim has only continued to grow in her creativity. I have used her
for family photos and pictures of my little girl. She is such a talented woman
and I highly recommend her for any line of photography because she has the
capability to adapt to anything! Kelley

Kim James has photographed my wedding, family and pregnancy.
With each, she has captured the emotion of the day and beauty of each subject
with amazing images. She made me feel beautiful and sexy when I was 8 1/2
months pregnant! My wedding photos are incredible and look like they belong in
a magazine. Kim has captured moments with my baby that I will cherish forever.
Kim James is the best.

I met Kim about two years ago when she shot mine and my
husband's wedding. After our initial meeting, we were sold! Not only did Kim
produce amazing photos, she was absolutely wonderful to work with. The only bad
thing about Kim's work, is trying to figure out which photo NOT to frame! We
will definitely utilize Kim's services in the future, as her photos are beyond
wonderful and look as though they are straight out of a magazine!! Jamie

Hi Kim James,
Zac
and I have looked thru all our wedding images last night, they were incredible,
money well spent!
Thank you so much for your talent and for your hard work.
We
have also checked your blog out - we loved the one you have chosen for your
banner(?).
And other images of mine - I must say that I am shy to see myself
out there like that but if you think they are the good reference materials of
your works of art, i would like to help you that way.
I hope you are doing well
and your family as well - I am doing good.
Wish you a warm and happy holiday,
Song

I miss you already! We couldn't have been more
lucky to have you as our photographer -- and now friend. It was a
pleasure working with you and you truly made things as easy as they could
be. You will probably notice that the number of hits to your blog has
probably sky-rocketed a bit over the last 24 hrs.
We absolutely love the pics that you have posted and cannot
wait to see the rest. We even said to each other last night that if these
were the only pics that we got, we'd be totally happy. The dozen or so
capture so much!
Thank you again!!
