Hello there! My name is Jamie; the guy who’s behind JDF Photo & Design. I’m 24 years old and born and raised in California, however I moved to beautiful Treasure Valley in 2022 with my wife, Christina, and our son, Koda.

   My dream of becoming a photographer began when I was in high school when my grandfather gifted me a Nikon camera for my birthday, and I couldn’t put it down for the first few days! I took pictures of everything and anything I thought looked beautiful or eye-catching, and it snowballed to many of personal projects like taking portraits of my friends when we hung out by the lake, or taking pictures of figurines from numerous of movies and shows; like Star Wars or Godzilla!

   Years later my love for graphic design came when I started drawing logos and illustrations for fun. I wanted to expand my education and found classes on Coursera. The graphic design courses were appealing and I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with it in a similar way as I did with photography. It’s different and it became a new love of mine which quickly turned into small jobs of creating logos for friends and family. I enjoyed both so much that I wanted to strive to make photography and graphic design a job.

   I like to believe my work reflects the person that I was years ago that fell in love with photography as well as the person I am today with my style and creativity I project now in Graphic Design. With my charisma and passion, I promised myself that i will share that same passion and love through my work for everyone. For me, Photo & Design is not just taking photos or drawing images, it’s creating memories and messages for you and others alike for years and hopefully generations.
