 J. Karriem Photography is in a league of its own! We had the pleasure of working with him for the National African American Insurance Association (NAAIA) Chicago Chapter’s Annual Scholarship Luncheon, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. J. Karriem didn’t just take photos—he captured the essence of the event. From candid moments to powerful speaker shots and heartfelt interactions, every image told a story. His professionalism, eye for detail, and ability to move through the room without disrupting the flow of the event was impressive. He delivered high-quality images promptly, and the editing was impeccable. These photos and videos will serve as lasting memories and powerful tools for promoting our mission and future events. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands how to elevate an event through visual storytelling, J. Karriem is the one to call. Highly recommended!

 I had such an amazing experience shooting at the studio! From the very beginning, the communication was seamless. While discussing the type of shoot I wanted, he kindly offered his portfolio for inspiration—which truly impressed me and helped me decide on a style that felt right for me. The studio itself was beautifully set up with everything you could possibly need to feel comfortable—snack bar, water, a private changing area, and a dedicated makeup space. I especially appreciated the thoughtful details like a phone stand so I could capture some behind-the-scenes moments myself. Once we started shooting, the energy was easy, professional, and relaxed. Great music, great atmosphere, and most importantly—he consistently checked in to make sure I felt good and had everything I needed. It made the entire experience feel fun and effortless. I would absolutely recommend working with him—his professionalism, creativity, and the comfortable environment he creates are unmatched !!!

 Jason makes the entire process feel effortless. He’s easy to work with, pays attention to detail, and knows how to bring out the best angles without making it feel staged. The studio is set up in a way that pulls you into the creative process. You see everything unfold on a large screen as it happens! That changed everything for me. I wasn’t overthinking how I looked because I could actually see it and trust the direction he was taking. His setup, lighting choices, and the way he fine tunes each shot show how much intention goes into every part of the session. The studio itself feels personal because it’s surrounded by his own work and sources of inspiration! You get a real sense of how much this means to him. I’d definitely work with him again. Thank you!!

 My family will always use J. Karriem Photography to create lasting memories! There was always constant and quick communication. I really did not know what to expect especially with having an infant and 2 young children involved but we had so many AMAZING shots to choose from. We got our photos back quickly and the studio even had snacks on hand which was such a nice touch when my little ones needed a break. We are already planning future photo shoots.

His images are tack sharp, vibrant, with excellent composition. The images speak for themselves. I couldn't recommend him more. You will never be disappointed after a shoot with J. Karriem and that's a fact! 10 STARS!!!
