Hi, I’m Josh. Along with being a registered nurse, I’m a photographer and graphic designer. I love life, people, and happiness... this is why I love photography! I also love playing pingpong, dancing, and camping.

Around the age of 10, I remember going to sports games, school events, family outings, and weddings and Around the age of 10, I remember going to sports games, school events, family outings, and weddings and being intrigued by the photographers at these events. I thought these guys had the best jobs on the planet... photographing people experiencing the best moments of their life! I started to get behind the video camera in 7th grade, and stayed behind the camera since then. I worked on several large video projects in high school, and eventually expanded my knowledge of “still” photography. I now love taking photos of anything and

everything... events, people, things, pets, and YOU!

How much is the session deposit? When is it due?The nonrefundable session deposit is half of the price of the session and is due when booking. If booking through telephone, we accept most major credit cards. In the event of inclement weather or emergencies on the scheduled

shoot day, deposits can be applied to a make-up session.

What location should I choose to take my photos at?Typically photos are shot in one of three types of locations: urban setting, natural setting, or at home. All of these options are excellent choices. I have a long list of locations around the San Antonio area, so we can work together

on finding the perfect location for your shoot when you initiate the booking if you’re unsure!

What is the turnaround time for portrait photos?The typical turnaround time for portrait photos is 10-14 days, although sometimes special rush requests can be honored. I often post an ealry preview on Facebook, so be sure you “Like” JLS Photography on Facebook! :)

I have special photographic requests for my wedding day. Is this okay?Absolutely. We expect all brides/ grooms to have specific details about the things that they want to ensure get photographed on their special day. For this reason, we always like to meet with the bride/groom approximately 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding to sort out these fine details and work out any logistics.

We have chosen to make our profits on the session fees only and not on the session and prints (like many of our competitors). Print prices fluctuate based on supply/ demand, but generally prints cost about twice as much as your local CVC/ Walgreens/ Walmart because all prints are printed on professional grade paper. All wedding packages include money for purchasing prints through our website. You can also choose to purchase prints at a vendor of your choice, as all packages

include free downloading of images in high resolution.
