HELLO THERE!
Welcome to James Slade Photography
Hello! I'm an Austin-based portrait photographer specializing in fine art portraiture, beauty, fashion and fitness photography, as well as family and senior portraits, professional headshots, and select events.
My work is rooted in storytelling, creating images that are both intentional and effortless. Guided by a passion for light, composition, and capturing the unique character of each person I photograph. I create everything from memorable family moments to breath-taking professional portraits.
In every session, my goal is to create timeless portraits that will hold meaning and create a lasting impact for years to come.








MEET JAMES
I was born and raised in Austin, TX, and have been creating beautiful works of art through photography for over 5 years. My undying passion for photography has made it so I can help capture the greatest and most important moments in your life with ease.
I take great pride in my photography and dedication to creating breath-taking works of art that will steal the moment.
I know how nerve wracking it is to be in front of the camera, I have been in front of the camera multiple times, and I know exactly how anxious it can make people feel. My experiences from being in front of the camera has helped me better understand the needs and concerns of my clients. You will not have to worry about a single thing, I will take care of all your needs. We will have a wonderful time bringing your vision to life, one image at a time.
REVIEWS
"James is one of the best talents I’ve worked with!
I have continued to shoot with James for two reasons. He’s extremely driven and takes on my projects as if they are his. Secondly, his ability to maintain transparency and communicate from start to finish is something I’ve never came across. Throughout the entire process he never leaves you guessing about where he is regardless of if that’s on the commute to the shoot, talking about post editing, or even where his head is at in making your vision come to life.
I cannot say enough good things about James and the work he’s done. He has attributed to much of the success that I have had in growing my brand. Not only will I continue to work with him in the future on important projects, but he is also someone who has become a valued friend.”
