As a mother of three and a labor and delivery nurse, I know how precious each fleeting season of motherhood truly is. From the excitement of awaiting a new life to the countless “firsts” that follow, I am committed to helping you hold onto these memories forever. My goal is to provide you with beautiful, authentic images that you can hold close, evoking the same emotions each time you look at them.

Marie James Photography was born out of a passion for capturing the beauty of family and motherhood—those quiet, in-between moments that often go unnoticed yet hold our most cherished memories.

“We are so grateful to have the early moments of our daughter’s life captured by Marie.”

I believe in the power of photography to freeze time, preserving the raw emotions, tiny details, and true connections that tell your unique story. Life with little ones is beautifully chaotic and wonderfully unpredictable, and I aim to capture every bit of it in a way that feels true to who you are. My heart is in creating images that you’ll look back on for years to come, instantly taking you back to these treasured days with a smile, a tear, and a full heart.
