Bio

James Davidson
I was born and raised in Cochran, GA. I graduated from Bleckley Co. High School and then went on to college at Middle Georgia and Macon State Colleges. In January 2004, I started a co-op program at Warner Robins Air Force Base as a Contract Specialist. During my time there, I began photographing families, pageants and weddings on the side. In August of 2007, I left RAFB to pursue my lifelong dream of opening a photography studio.

I have been very blessed in my photography career. I have met wonderful people, and have had amazing experiences. I never know what to expect from day to day, and that's what I love about this career. I am passionate about my work, and I believe that shows in my commitment and drive. I don't think I'll ever settle and decide that I've reached my maximum potential. There is always room to grow and learn.

I have been interested in photography for most of my life. From the point and shoot camera my grandparents gave me as a child to the digital equipment I use today, I have always looked for creative ways to capture the beauty of God’s creations. Human emotion is an awesome thing, and I try to capture a person’s heart and soul in my work. I look forward to working with you in the future!
