Hey, I’m James Barclay — a photographer who’s all about capturing real moments, honest smiles, and the little in-between things that make life so good.

I specialize in lifestyle photography — from family sessions and back-to-school milestones to engagement shoots and pet portraits. I love helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera so we can create images that feel natural, relaxed, and meaningful.

You’ll also see a different side of my work in my galleries: landscapes, insects, and the small details of everyday life that often go unnoticed. For me, photography isn’t just about people — it’s about the beauty in the world around us. Many of these images are available as prints, perfect for adding a touch of nature and life to your home or office.

Based in Orange County, CA, I’m here to help you tell your story — whether it’s through family memories or wall-worthy art.

Let’s make something awesome together.
