James Gates Photography

About Us

Hi, I’m James - a Dallas-based photographer who believes great photos don’t just capture how something looked, but how it felt. Whether it’s a small, intimate wedding, a high-energy event, or a powerful moment of personal breakthrough, I aim to create images that help you relive the moment - or feel like you were there, even if you weren’t. I specialize in headshots, senior portraits, and event photography, working with individuals and businesses to create visuals that are emotionally resonant and brand-aligned. Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, launching a campaign, or need professional portraits for your team, I bring a creative, collaborative approach to every project. My favorite shoots are the ones where people are having fun, when the room is alive and full of energy, worth remembering. I also enjoy partnering with organizations that make a real impact, capturing powerful moments of growth and transformation. Photography, to me, is more than a service - it’s a way to reflect the truth, beauty, and emotion of real people and real moments.

Let’s create something meaningful together.
