 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I made an appointment for professional headshots as well a boudoir shoot and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Hair and make-up was wonderful and working with James made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. He really made me feel comfortable and provided all the instruction I needed to get the feel for being in front of the camera. Would highly recommend to anyone! Looking forward to future shoots with him.

The photos are beautiful every time, and I can depend on him to deliver the best possible shots for us. He is amazing. I can't imagine ever using anybody else.

I couldn't have been more pleased by James's work and professionalism. He was very transparent about his approach and guiding me through the process. I think his portfolio speaks for itself. I truly had a lot of fun and would recommend him to everyone.

I’ve never done a boudoir photo shoot (getting married and doing this for my fiancé) and he made me feel so comfortable with killer photos. The set up is beautiful and the experience was 10/10 from start to finish!!!!

I’ve never posed for photos before, but James coached me through the whole process. I got to see the photos as they were being shot to chose the styles I liked. 100% suggest! 10 out of 10!

James Kern is one of the best photographers I came across in Philly. From our consultation until photo session day he made me feel at ease. I’m not a naturally photogenic person, but he set the whole welcoming vibe with my favorite music. His hospitality was amazing. For the quality the price was reasonable. I recommend him to anyone. I also give a shout-out to my MUA Aziza Walker who set each look off.
