Kim is not just a photographer--she is a visionary, a master, a listener, an actor, a leader, and a valuable member of the team. Yes, she's all of these at once. We first had Kim photograph our engagement, then our wedding, and then my pregnancy (not to mention some boudoir in between). We are looking forward to family photos to come. Not only does she have an amazing eye for the right frame, but she edits the photos to look flawless and natural. She also takes the time to get to know you and learn what you want to build trust. One of my favorite things to date is the collection of images she put to music on video of our wedding--it tells a story I could not have known being caught up in the day and I cherish it so very much. Her images are breathtaking, she is great to work with, and I could not provide a higher recommendation.

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 isnow 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!!

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

Kim was my wedding photographer back in 2012. Although I already knew Kim and knew of her many talents, when I received the pictures after the wedding they were more amazing then I could have ever imagined. She knows what she is doing and she does it well! She will make your picturing taking experience fun and something you will never forget. She will make you feel comfortable and beautiful which in return brings out the most natural and beautiful pictures! She will work her butt off for you and provide you with pictures that you get to treasure for the rest of your life! I believe Kim is one of the bests and will always recommend her for not only weddings but any type of photography you are looking for! I love her!

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
