emotions through photos

Your personal Photographer


Hi, my name is James Carter and I will be your personal photographer. I’ve been taking professional photos for years. I specialize in family and school photoshoots. I have been known to do events such as anniversaries, birthdays, and even baby showers. As a preschool teacher, I know how important it is to not only get the right shot, at the right angle but also to capture growth, a stage in life, and document special moments such as graduations, job promotions, and weddings. 

Your Handy Scope Photography started during the pandemic. Its main purpose was to and still is to be one of the most flexible and affordable photography businesses in the market. On the other side, its purpose is to help me pay for college. I too feel that there are not enough males teaching in schools today, and I am doing my part to change that. I am currently in school for Early Childhood Education. Help me make this dream a reality by booking a photoshoot or event today.

It is so important to get family photos. It documents growth (kids grow up fast), gives the ability to relive memories, celebrate milestones, and more. When you hire Your Handy Scope as your personal photographer, you can put your cell phone camera down and absorb the moments while you rest easy knowing that a professional photographer is getting all the images. Below are just a few pictures that were taken.

We hired Handyscope to take photos at our daughter's birthday party. As a preschool teacher of over 20 years, Mr James is great with children and he is clearly passionate about photography. He stayed at the party the entire time and took hundreds of photos. We are so grateful to have these wonderful family memories. Thank you Handyscope!"

As a preschool teacher, I love to capture the real child and not just the cookie-cutter traditional pose and look at the camera. Your Handy Scope captures the true essence of the stage that the child is currently in. If you want to know more about how Picture School Day works email yourhandyscope@gmail.com
