what we do

sonder + james is a creative agency and production company specializing in brand photography and videography. We offer a range of services including creative direction, brand strategy, and product and lifestyle photography and videography. 

With expertise in the entire production process, from development through post-production the sonder + james team understands every person and brand has a uniquely complex and exciting story (hence the ‘sonder’ of sonder + james).

sonder + james commits to fully understanding the product/service before the shoot. The team knows there’s no such thing as “one size fits all” or even “one size fits most” and is committed to providing every client a unique experience best tailored to their brand. This starts with development (like creative direction and shot lists) and continues through post production (making sure the final assets reflect the client’s vision). Additionally, since every brand is unique, so is every shoot. Consequently, we don’t have fixed prices – let’s chat about a budget that works for you!
