Original Sports Sketch Art - James Geddes Turns Your Photos Into One-Of-A-Kind Sketches

We have Many Many Happy Clients!

We get many inquires about combining subjects from multiple photos. Here are some of my creations and the photos that were sent for me to work with. Both clients gave me full artistic latitude during the creation process, which I really appreciate.

I got the sketch today and I am more than pleased. It came out beautiful and I just know my mom is going to love it. Everyone I showed is so impressed!!! I would love to use your services again in the future. I am thinking about putting a few others together so I am sure you will hear from me in the future. Thanks again for all your patience with me and such a great project.

From the message board below 12-26-06:

James,
Wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the Tahj Bomar sketch. I was really happy with the digital image but there was no comparison to seeing the real deal. It made a great Christmas present and will bring back some great memories of his college days for years to come.
I really appreciate your attention to detail in creating a work of art from those photographs. The pride you take in your work is clearly demonstrated in the end product.
Thanks again for a great job.

The pictures just came in. They are perfect. I could never have imagined that they would be so perfect. You just don't know what a wonderful gift this will be. You are a truly wonderful artist!
...I would be honored to have you do some more sketches later. These make such wonderful gifts. I can't possibly express to you how pleased I am with the completed work. You captured their relationship perfectly.

Thank you so much!

I just wanted to let you know how much I love the pictures. They came out perfect! Now I just have to keep quiet until Father’s day. That’s the hard part!

I hope it’s alright for me to refer all my friends to you. Everyone I show them to wants to get them done.

You’re awesome and you do great work! I will be doing business with you again in the future- perhaps a family photo or something. I appreciate your work and your customer service. I cannot express my happiness in doing business with you- it’s been a pleasure!

Thank you so much for the memorable picture that we’ll enjoy for years to come.

It will be a photo that will hang on our wall for a very long time.
I love it and you’re awesome!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

James,

I wanted to thank you for the beautiful sketch you did of my son, from the Mustang State Championships. I ordered it for my husband for Christmas and he said that was the best gift he has ever received. We have been together for 24 years so that made our Christmas.

We look forward to using you in the future for our younger son, Gino.

Once again, thank you for all the hard work you do.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I received my son and daughter’s sketches. They are Wonderful. I can’t believe it. You did a tremendous job. This will not be the last that you will here from me. I have showed the people I work with and they are all asking about you and where to get this done. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks so much!!!! Christy C.

James Geddes Photography was kind enough to shoot a days worth of soccer matches at our annual tournament this summer. I found about a dozen shots of my child I simply fell in love with and ordered a P4 poster and a 12"X16" color sketch. When I met James to pick up the order I was in awe. There's no way to truly know how much better these were going to look in person compared to my expectations based on the samples shown on the website. These one-of-a-kind pieces are priceless and truly capture the spirit of our daughter. I simply cannot convey how pleased we are with these pieces. Phenomenal!

Thank you James. The heart you put into these really shows. We love them!

James Geddes does an incredible job with his photography. He is a talented artist who can turn photos into sketches, I have a photo sketch of my dog and my son and they are treasures we will keep for life. Thanks James!

James,

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how happy I am with all of the photos, sketches, and posters I have ordered from James Geddes Photography over the last two years. I have never been involved with a more personalized or superior photographic service. I continue to receive many compliments on my framed prints, and have given many as gifts. I will enjoy my pictures for many years to come and look forward to doing business with you in the future!

Sincerely,

Sally Eggiman

I have purchased photos from James Geddes Photography and Take Your Best Shot for about five years. Each year I can't wait to get photos of my daughter playing basketball and I have never been disappointed.

James and his staff are professionals who take pride in their work and it shows in the quality of their exceptional photos. Setting up appointments, selecting photos, and payment of order is easy with James and his staff. They are there to offer suggestions in photo selection and package selection as well, never pressuring you into something you don't want. Delivery of my order has always been very timely, never exceeding a week or two.

I have friends who have purchased photos from James and they are as equally pleased as I am. The local schools are also glad to have James and his staff taking photos of their sporting events. I've only heard positive remarks about James and his staff. James Geddes Photography and Take Your Best Shot provide a way to capture memories that will last a lifetime.

Sincerely,

Sheila Taylor

"Photos that have high contrasts with either overexposures and/or underexposures are difficult to work with. If I can see good detail in the photograph then my sketch will reflect it. If the photos are out of focus then there is a loss of detail as well.... The clearer the photos, the better the sketch. I can work with anything, but I always mention this so that when you set out to pick your photos, you have a guideline..." JGeddes

This fee is for adding another subject from an additional photograph to be sketched into a composition sketch. So if you have 5 images that you want in one composition, you need to select this option 4 times.

One-of-a-Kind 16x20 color and B&W sketches are created from digital files, negatives or send your photo! 4x6 or 5x7 glossy prints work great!

Photos with heavy backlight or heavy shadow on the face are more difficult to work with. If the photo is dark we cannot pull necessary detail from the image. Digital negatives work better for these more challenging files. If we cannot create a sketch we will be proud of, we will call you and return your photo and money!

ADDING SUBJECTS: Can we combine additional players, children or others from different photos into a sketch? Yes we can! We will add 19.95 for each additional person or image added to the sketch composition.
