Hi, I'm Jonathan, an English/Spanish-speaking photographer serving the Bay Area. I'm always happy to travel for the perfect shot.

I've had a camera since I was 7, when I begged my mom for one at an electronics store. To my surprise, she bought it, even though she's usually pretty frugal. That little camera sparked a lifelong passion for capturing the world around me. I love documenting everything from the grandest landscapes to the smallest details.

I’ve been consistently capturing moments for the past five years, although I took a few breaks earlier on. Over the years, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges, but photography has always been a source of joy. Connecting with people, sharing laughs, and capturing those unexpected moments, even if it means jumping in the ocean to get the perfect shot, have kept me going. The photos are great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s the human connection that truly drives me.

I couldn’t do any of it without my amazing partner. Words cannot express how grateful I am for this amazing woman who pushes me to be the best version of myself every day. She’s always there to pick me up when I’m down and to celebrate my success. None of this would be possible without her help.

I am so excited to meet you and your loved ones (including the four-legged ones) to capture memories neither of us will forget!
