Greetings! I am Tori James & I thank you for considering Soul Art Photography. I recognize that your images are a valuable investment & I’d be honored to be the artist entrusted with their creation. A lifestyle & documentary photographer, I specialize in the visual art of capturing authentic being & in-the-moment experiences. My passion is to create images that tell the genuine story of who you are, to document your cherished moments of life & love so that they can be re-lived again & again. My artistic editing style encourages love & appreciation for your natural appearance by avoiding over-processed image effects & misleading, artificial body alterations. Soul Art is not creating false beauty with a “perfect” picture, Soul Art is capturing raw beauty & the perfect moment. Photography is both an art & a service, & you deserve a meaningful experience with a personal touch beyond the common “shoot-&-burn” disc approach. Your carefully crafted images represent the soulful essence of you & they are meant to be seen on the wall of your home, not just the wall of your social media page. So whether it’s documenting a 1st birthday or a first anniversary, creating a professional headshot or capturing a day with family, I make it my goal to ensure that you come away from your Soul Art session with both an incredible experience & incredible art. It would be a pleasure to capture the Soul Art in you. Your Personal Photographer,
Tori James

Documentary portraits are modern, photojournalistic images that capture the natural candid story of you. There’s no pressure for fancy poses because your attention isn’t on the camera, it’s on engaging with loved ones & enjoying life’s pleasures. With these storytelling images, my aim is to seize the moment so that you can concentrate on being in the moment. I accompany you with my eye focused & lens ready to catch the loving exchanges & delicate intimacies that make an ordinary day truly anything but ordinary.
Great ideas for documentary portraits: ~ Play time at home ~ A picnic in the park ~ A romantic date ~ ~ Cooking a home-made dish together ~ Celebrating holiday traditions ~ Any fun family outing ~
Lifestyle portraits are directed, camera-focused portraits that typically involve controlled lighting setups, posed body positioning, & unique wardrobe selections to produce original & inspired images. These guided sessions are best for creating portraits with an imaginative theme or specialized look, & are great for enthusiastic subjects who have distinct creative expressions that they’d like to capture. Lifestyle portraits can also be used for more relaxed & casual portraits for individuals, families, & couples. Consider personal props to make your images more unique to your character & style.

We’ll have a pre-session “prep talk” to connect with each other & discuss image ideas, wardrobe choices, location selection, & what products you’re interested in. I’ll prepare you to be in front of the camera so you can fully enjoy the creation process.
We’ll meet at the chosen location & begin the session with a few test shots to get you comfortable & relaxed. We then ease into the awesome experience of creating your Soul Art. I’ll also have sample prints & art displays for you to preview & select your preferred styles.
Now for the best part…seeing your images! I’ll set up a selection gallery of your best portraits for you to choose your favorites & place any additional orders. Once retouching is complete, you’ll be able to download your chosen portraits directly from your gallery.
