What the nominator said:
“Jim’s skill set and commitment to excellence as a photographer can be seen in area publications like Delaware Today, Out & About, and the Delaware State Tourism Office.

time again in his work.”
Social media platform you can’t live without:
Biggest break:
“My biggest break was when I was first starting out with photographing weddings. I had shot for several other studios but didn’t really have a portfolio of my own work to show to potential clients. They would take a chance on me and trust my knowledge and experience when I didn’t have much to show.”
Two words that best describe you:
Passionate and driven.
Work/life balance technique you recommend:
“I have two small daughters, so every once in a while I will leave the phone at home or on silent. Off-grid vacations can be stressful, but family focus is key.”
Your advice for the next generation:
“At one point or another you will be asked “˜Where can you see yourself in 10 years?’ Write it down and make sure you see it frequently. Don’t lose focus of your goals.”
In one sentence, define success:
“Success is when you proudly know that what you’re doing is what defines you.”
