A Message to My Clients, Supporters & Friends

To everyone who has supported my photography journey,

I want to take a moment to simply say thank you.

Thank you to every person, family, graduate, business owner, couple, and client who trusted me to capture your special moments. Thank you for allowing me to bring my ideas to life, try something different, be creative, have fun, and create memories with you that will last far beyond a photoshoot.

Photography has given me the opportunity to meet some amazing people and create images and experiences that I will always be proud of. Every session, every laugh, every crazy idea, and every person who supported my work has played a part in my journey.

After giving it a lot of thought, I have decided that effective September 1, 2026, I will temporarily stop accepting photography sessions.

Sometimes life requires us to slow down, refocus, and make sure we are giving the right amount of attention to the things that matter most. I need some time to focus on life, reset, and get myself back on track.

This is not goodbye.

Photography and creativity will always be a part of me, and I truly hope that when the time is right, I will be able to return with a renewed mindset, fresh creativity, and an even greater passion for the work.

To everyone who booked with me, referred someone to me, shared my work, liked a post, encouraged me, or simply believed in what I was creating — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support has meant more to me than you may ever know.

Until we create again,

Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the trust, and most importantly, the opportunity to create.

With appreciation,
James McPhatter
