NEW WEBSITE!

So, I probably should have posted this on here some time ago, but...

Please go to my NEW website to get all of the newest info on Pauly James Photography!

At this time, I am not adding updates to this blog. THANK YOU!

Traveling Man

My first out of town photo shoot went off without a hitch. I had a chance to travel to Fargo to take pictures of Mr. Colton. Though he was pretty shy with the smiles, he let me shoot and shoot. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday morning!

Max The Man

Max and his family joined me at the park on a damp Monday morning. Though it was a little chilly, Max was a champion. He did a great job posing for me and smiling for his mom. I hear that big sister will be joining us next time. I can hardly wait!

Miss McKenzie

McKenzie and I had a chance to spend a Sunday morning together. Though she was a bit taken aback by the new new environment, she did a great job taking her one year pictures. And Mom and Dad did such a great job encouraging her. Her big cousin even joined us for a few! What a beautiful little girl. Thanks, McKenzie, for doing such a wonderful job.

A Walk In The Park

Cole and Cullen enjoyed a Sunday afternoon at the park while I took some time to shoot a few pictures. Big brother Cole did a great job entertaining his little brother (and helping mom and I with all of his stuff). And it was great to capture Cullen so amazed by the beautiful colors of the fall leaves. We kept mom by standby to pull them out of his mouth :).

What a Man!

Bennett, Matt, Karina, and their faithful pooches joined me for some fall photos. It was one of the most beautiful Fall days I've ever seen. And Bennett did a great job taking care of his best buds! Hopefully I will get to see the crew again soon

Life is Great

Thanks to the Knecht for the great morning. What a perfect Fall day we had!

Landon

Landon and I spent a Sunday afternoon around town taking his senior photos. I am so fortunate to get to spend the afternoon with such a fun guy. And so fortunate that this fall has been beyond perfect for taking outdoor photos! I couldn't ask for anything better.

Stud Muffin

Rylan was loving the beautiful day when we were out shooting pictures. He was all over the place, but would always be sure to stop just long enough to give me a great smile (and a great picture). What a gorgeous little stud muffin!

Forever Love

Ben and Liz had a wonderful wedding celebration. I was so blessed to be able to spend the day with them, their children, and their family. The day could not have been more perfect and I enjoyed being a part of it.

What a day

Lindsey, her mom, and I enjoyed a Saturday taking her senior pictures. Lindsey was so easy going and easy to work with. She was so receptive to my "do this, try this". And her beautiful smile just kept shining through. Let's just say she made my job very easy that day!

The Neighborhood

It is said "You can only be a good neighbor if you have good neighbors". Well, Blake and Wyatt are two of the best neighbors around. And I would say the same about their mom and dad. Thank you, Caroline and Steve, for the opportunity to wander down the street and spend some time with your amazing boys!

who is pauly james photography?

Pauly James is a culmination of years of taking photos for my family and friends. And finally making the decision to move on to the next level. Pauly James is a dream. An ideal that one day, some time, I will be able to turn my part time passion into a part time career. Pauly James is my aritist. My opportunity to foster that little voice that says "wouldn't it be beautiful if...". Pauly James is a dedication to my children. Both in the name-sake and in the desire to capture every bit of this thing called childhood that passes by so fast. Pauly James is my teacher. Encouraging me that "this is great" and "you will only get better". Pauly James is a piece of my heart. With each opportunity to help capture someone else's life and soul, mine grow to an exponential level. And Pauly James is my thank you. My thank you for the opportunity to know each and every child, family, person that my camera has touched.

it's just that simple

No fussy websites. No confusing picture packages. No expensive studio gadgets that do little for the actual photos but cost clients money. No "a dollar for this, a dollar for that".

Just you and your personality. Just me and my camera.

Don't get me wrong - the basics are there. The lights, the backdrops, the props. And of course all of the digital editing and formating you need. But I don't mess around with the other stuff. The stuff that just gets in the way of capturing you and what you are all about.

You pay for what WANT - exceptional, unique pictures. My costs are reasonable. Simply because I keep it simple. If you are planning to pick an overpriced "package", and then pay extra for all the pictures that you want that aren't included, you've come to the wrong place.

I keep it simple. I keep it fun. YOU keep it forever!
