Welcome! I’m Jon, a passionate portrait photographer and educator based in the East Valley of Arizona. I specialize in capturing natural, meaningful portraits that feel like you — relaxed, confident, and real.

Whether you’re looking for professional headshots, authentic senior portraits, or something a little more artistic and outside the box, I bring experience, creativity, and an easygoing vibe to every session.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and creatives, always aiming to create images that tell a story — your story. I also love sharing my knowledge through photography education, and there’s nothing better than seeing that ah-ha moment when it all clicks for someone.

From personal photo projects to creative shoots and scenic landscapes, photography is more than just a job for me — it’s what I’m built for.

Whether you’re in Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, or anywhere in the East Valley — let’s create something amazing together.

Here's an article recently published about Jonathan D Photography!

Some of my images have been published - and even awarded the cover shot! This is humbling to have created art with such talented people and is truly an inspiring feeling.

Thanks,
