If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! At baseline, I am uncomfortable with a camera lens pointed at me. I feel awkward and insecure and eager for the photo session to be done and over with! However, I did not want the session with Jon and Brittany to end! They both made things so relaxing and comfortable. They worked hard to match the vision of what we wanted while also blowing us away by their own creative knowledge and expertise. I am beyond thrilled with my engagement shoot experience and look forward to working with them on my wedding day! I could not recommend them enough for your special days and moments!

If you're looking for a photographer to capture a monumental time in your life, look no further! From the moment we first met Jonathan and Brittany, we knew these were the two we could trust with our big day. They take so much pride in their work, their professionalism, and of course making sure our wedding day was everything we could hope it would be and more. They made us feel so comfortable and were always happy to answer any questions we had along the way, as well as be honest with us about things that work well and things that don't. They were there for us at every step along the way of our engagement process. They also worked with us on setting up a payment plan that fit our budget. Overall, hiring them was easily one of the best decisions we could have made. They brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way, and they captured our wedding day with absolute perfection! We love Jonathan and Brittany and are so glad we chose them for our big day! Don't hesitate to book them - they book fast!

How do you describe Jonathan Roob of Jonathan's Portraits in just one word? It's a bit like trying to catch sunshine in a jar—nearly impossible. But if I had to choose, I'd say genuine. In a world that can sometimes feel polished to perfection and filtered beyond recognition, Jonathan is wonderfully, refreshingly real.Our family's story with the Roob family began more than six decades ago, when my mom discovered Walter Roob Photography. She wanted beautiful portraits of my brother, Michael—a little boy with special needs whose light shined in ways the world didn't always recognize.Michael didn't walk like other children. He didn't talk like other children. He couldn't see like other children. He understood the world differently than other children.But Walter never saw limitations.He saw Michael.With endless patience, extraordinary kindness, and a heart that believed every person deserved to have their story beautifully told, Walter captured not just photographs—he captured the pure love, joy, and goodness that lived within my brother. Those images became treasures our family will cherish forever.Over the years, Walter photographed not only Michael but me as well. When I was 17 and Michael was 24, I secretly arranged for Walter to photograph the two of us as a surprise gift for our parents' 25th wedding anniversary. It was a gift far beyond my teenage budget, but Walter graciously allowed me to make payments.Those payment visits to the little studio on 27th Street introduced me to Jonathan.Every time I walked through the door, there he was—bright-eyed, cheerful, and welcoming, as though he'd been expecting me all along. He had a way of making people feel seen, important, and completely at ease. Even then, it was easy to tell that kindness ran in the family.As the years danced by, Jonathan stepped behind the camera for our own family portraits. And just like his father, he possessed a remarkable gift.Jonathan doesn't simply take pictures.He discovers people.Photographing Michael has never been easy. Ask him to open his eyes, and he'll close them. Ask him to smile, and you might get the most spectacular grimace you've ever seen.But Jonathan never rushed him.He never expected Michael to fit into the photograph.Instead, he shaped the photograph around Michael.He understood Michael's physical needs, patiently adjusted every pose, celebrated every tiny success, and somehow managed to capture the very essence of who my brother is. It's as if Jonathan can find a masterpiece where everyone else sees only a muddy puddle. He has an extraordinary ability to uncover beauty that others might miss.I could fill pages with stories about Jonathan's Portraits and the incredible family behind it—Jonathan, his wonderful wife Wendy, and their amazing daughters, Brittany and Ashley. They are more than photographers. Somewhere along the way, they became dear friends, and our lives are richer because of them.If your family includes someone with physical challenges, cognitive challenges, or both, I cannot imagine a more compassionate place to entrust with your memories. Jonathan's Portraits is warm, welcoming, endlessly patient, and deeply genuine. They don't simply create photographs.They preserve love.And years from now, when the moments have become memories and the memories have become priceless, you'll be grateful that someone with such a kind heart was holding the camera.

Thank You for Capturing Our Family's StoryI wanted to share how grateful our family is for the experience you provided. Having a child with special needs can make traditional family photos challenging, and when I first called, I explained that our family is not traditional—we could not simply sit and all look at the camera.I needed someone who may not fully understand our situation but was willing to work with us and see the beauty in our family. I honestly never thought we would receive photos that we could truly cherish.Boy, was I wrong. You captured our family dynamic perfectly and gave us the opportunity to create memories that reflect who we really are. The images you created are priceless, and they are something our family will treasure for years to come.Thank you for your patience, kindness, and willingness to work with us. Your talent gave us more than photographs—you gave us lasting memories.

Thank you Jonathan’s Portraits!The team at Jonathan’s Portraits worked together to create lasting memories of my exceptional needs daughter’s high school years. John was kind, respectful and patient with my daughter. His use of humor turned this into a great fun experience for her. John took the time to include her service dog and two other family dogs in her photos. He asked about her interests and school activities so those were included in the photo shoot.The team at Johnathan’s worked with me to create lasting memories of my precious daughter’s high school days in the final product. The photos that include our family and animals are such wonderful memories for our family.Thank you to the team at Jonathan’s Portraits!

We cannot say enough about Jonathan's portraits! We first fell in love with Jonathan, and by We I mean the groom, at a wedding show. His energy was exactly what my husband was looking for to bring to our wedding day and pictures. We also fell in love with the whole family and their incredible work! After meeting them several times, it felt like fate to hire them as our wedding photographers.Their energy and professionalism did not disappoint day of. Groomsman, bridesmaids, and guests all commented on how amazing and fun the photographer was.We used our engagement photos as a guest book and are very excited to see how our wedding photos turn out.Thank you for the time and attention to detail you provided for us!Justin and Kaitlyn

Jonathan's Portraits did both our family photos and my stepdaughter's senior portraits almost 2 years ago, and we had a fantabulous experience! They actually made my stepdaughter feel confident - she was incredibly nervous about photos, and they captured all of our absolute best moments throughout the session. We now have an amazing non-traditional family photo that shows our family sharing real smiles and laughs mounted above our fireplace. Thanks so much to Jonathan's Portraits for a great experience!
