Kial James Photography + Design

Maya + Ryley. And yep, it was cold outside.

Winter snow session with this cute couple.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

A sweet little mini-session for this dad and his two daughters who came out from New York to spend the holidays with family here. He wanted to surprise the kids' grandparents with some new photos, just in the nick-of-time. Now booking families, seniors, and kids: kialjamesphotography.com

Another great senior session with the beautiful Hirschman Pond as a backdrop. Now booking: https://www.kialjamesphotography.com/senior-portraits/

Got the chance to hang out with a few of my favorite photographers today (Lenkaland Photography, Winding Road Imagery). Together, with the help of our awesome coordinator, Keri McKenzie Kemble, we portraited a few dozen seniors from Nevada Union High School over the course of the day. #communityovercompetition #seniorportraits

Another awesome Senior Session with this Bear River High School Grad. Nick B., you were a pleasure to photograph. Hoping you get to play ball one last season for BRHS & beyond.

Today's Senior Shoot, sooo much fun photographing these young men and women, the future. Back at it again tomorrow at Nevada Union HS.

Got the opportunity to photograph these cute kids in Lake Wildwood the other evening. Grandparents will be very happy with their Christmas Cards this year :-) Now booking: kialjamesphotography.com

A fun Senior Shoot with Lucy and her horse, Blue. These two have such an amazingly strong bond. Now booking: kialjamesphotography.com

Senior and family portrait season has been a busy one. Here are a few of Tolan (what a cool name!), a senior from Ghidotti High School. This young man had a Keanu Reeves vibe to him, a good looking kid with a big heart. Now booking Seniors, Families, and Kids: https://www.kialjamesphotography.com/

One of those projects (and event!) that unfortunately won't hit the light of day due to Covid. Either way, it was a pleasure designing this poster for the Nevada County Fairgrounds for their Annual Draft Horse Classic. Gorgeous horse artwork by artist Katherine Plumer.
