NIGHT FRAME · JAMES JARVIS

I'm James Jarvis, a Flagstaff photographer. When the sun is up, I photograph people, places, and brands across Northern Arizona: portraits, events, cabins and vacation rentals, landscapes, and products, from Flagstaff to Sedona and Williams.

Flagstaff-based photographer and proud U.S. Air Force veteran. I bring the same care and attention to detail I learned in service to every shoot.

WHY NIGHT

Flagstaff was the world's first International Dark Sky City. That sky is a big part of why I photograph at night.
