Jay Sonata Photography

I am a punctual person and try to arrive at least 15 minutes early to an event to make contact with the client to introduce myself. I will also make contact with the client about 30 minutes before I leave to make sure there are no last minute special request.

I have enjoyed partaking in the fine arts ever since I was a child. My father played saxophone and my mom picked up piano while she was pregnant with me. I eventually learned to play piano, saxophone and guitar as I progressed through school. I love music (that is why sonata is apart of my studio name) and learned to appreciate all forms of the arts as I grew older.

Photography was a big part of my life. My mom has tons of photos of me growing up as a child. She told me her obsession with taking photos of me spawned from her not having many photos of her growing up. Having photos to look back at of me growing up around friends and family was such a normal occurrence to me, I could not imagine not having them around.

I believe it is important to keep record of all events, no matter how big or small they are. Something that may seem insignificant at the time could end up transforming into a priceless heirloom generations later. It is my professional goal to capture all emotions ranging from shocking and anticipation to happiness and kindness. Having special occasions captured is important for families and corporations because reminiscing on great moments of the past brings the future closer together.

I am able to shoot anywhere as long as the client has acquired the proper permits if needed. All high-res photographs will be edited and available for download on my website and stored on my servers for up to three months.
