Testimonials
Having a photo shoot with J. Karriem photography was in & of itself, an EXPERIENCE. And an amazing one at that! From the second I arrived, until the very end, I was made to feel completely at ease because he has such a welcoming spirit. To be able to laugh and feel at home in a professional setting was not something I expected. He has an ability to make you feel just as equally a part of his vision, as opposed to some object that he’s just flashing a camera in front of. His attention to detail, flexibility with various concepts, & genuine warmth makes his work unmatched! Not to mention the actual photos always come out incredible!! I mean really, they are breathtaking & unique & have that J. Karriem touch to it. The photos that he took during our session truly mean a lot to me and I’m forever grateful that he was able to capture them. He is a beautiful spirit with a beautiful gift and to be quite honest, I wouldn’t want any other photographer.

Peace!! The J. Karriem photography experience that I was blessed to have was excellent!! Initially, my goal was just to support my brother based off of his previous work that I seen online. I drove to from Indianapolis to Chicago for our set. Now, there are many photographers(that I know and have a relationship with) in Indianapolis. However, because my brother was in the beginning stages of this new endeavor, I wanted to support! When I arrived to the set, Bro. J. Karriem made me feel welcomed the moment I walked through the door. The conversation. The laughs. The stories(we’re both educators). The shoot in general!! Was ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in my humble opinion. Also, the finished product was off the chain!!!✊🏾

When I was going through these photos, I think I said "wow" out loud the same amount of times as last night lol WOW!Working with J. Karriem Photography was an absolute honor and one for the books. Jason's ability to harness his creative, charismatic and comforting demeanor allowed him to capture my true essence without having any prior experience with modeling. From our initial interaction on Instagram, to "WOW"ing all of the photos from the session and sipping on the most delicious coffee- he showed the utmost respect, kindness, and hospitality towards me. I couldn't be more grateful! As one who works in the hospitality industry, a memorable experience is truly the only thing that I look for within a service. His keen eye for detail produced an exemplary album of photographs to look back on and highlight such a pivotal time in my life, but the true value comes from the new perspective of myself within each of the photos. From sexy, to innocent, and joyful, to hopeful - he captured ALL of it. All of the different parts of me that I didn't even know existed! I have no doubt that Jason Karriem and his team/beautiful family will hit every single detail you would want from a photoshoot. Book him today to tap into your creativity and collaborate with a humble photographer changing lives with his art and individuality.

My first professional photoshoot was with J.Karriem Photography. It was such a memorable experience from the energy alone. Outside of my comfort zone I’m very quiet and usually most times awkward but the energy was just so inviting and welcoming that I felt at ease. My experiences after have only gotten better from there. His creative eye brings about unique concepts that sets him apart. I will always support because I know he is genuine and loves his craft. I also want to thank you for the opportunities. After seeing the outcome from the first photoshoot my confidence in just being myself increased and forced me to try to be more comfortable in front of a camera. So thank you!

All of your pictures have a certain light about it.. idk what kind of magic you use but your pictures capture the eye and inspires creativity. Working with you was lit yet professional lol.

Jkarriem is a photographer that delivers not only timeless, incredible photos, but an overall experience! I have to say that I am happy that my very first photoshoot was done by him. I was super nervous and honestly not that confident in my delivery. But by the end of the shoot I was comfortable and super excited and pleased with the results! Already preparing to bring my daughter back for another shoot!
If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! From the preparation before hand to ensure I got all the shots I wanted of my big day up to the editing and delivery of the photos, the process was so easy and professional and the outcome was more beautiful than I could have imagined! Thank you for helping us preserve the memory of one of the most joyous moments of my life!!
