Capturing the Relentless Spirit of James J. Sexton – As Seen in Los Angeles Magazine

This month, Los Angeles Magazine spotlighted bestselling author and renowned divorce attorney James J. Sexton in a heartfelt feature titled “From Heartbreak to Healing: How a Divorce Lawyer Helped Me Believe in Love Again.” I’m proud to share that the portrait accompanying this moving story was captured in my New York studio.

James is not your average attorney—he’s a truth-teller, a relationship realist, and, surprisingly, a voice of hope. His insights have reached millions through podcasts, social media, and bestselling books. When he stepped into my studio, I wanted to create a portrait that reflected not just his authority, but his empathy. The result is a powerful image that anchors a deeply human story.

“People don’t fall out of love. They just stop doing the things that made them fall in love in the first place.” – James J. Sexton

It’s a rare privilege to photograph someone who bridges intellect and emotional depth with such conviction. This feature marks another step in my mission to highlight the thinkers, change-makers, and professionals shaping our world.
