Hi! I’m Jon Schwartz. I’m a portrait, outdoors, and travel photographer located in San Diego. My photos, cover shots, and adventures have been published in over 20 magazines, coffee table books, travel publications, and on Nat Geo TV. I love meeting new people and helping create lasting memories.

I started working as an editorial freelance photojournalist for resorts, travel, and fishing magazines in 2005 when my elementary schoolteacher career afforded me time off. Now retired, I’m devoting myself to photography full time.

My wonderful wife and I just celebrated 26 years and we have 3 beautiful daughters. We’ve lived in Carlsbad since 2000. I’m from the suburbs of New York and my wife is from a small town in Mexico.

If you’d like to arrange a photoshoot, please go to my Booking Page. If you have questions about what packages I offer, how the booking process works, etc., please go to my FAQ page. Of course, please feel free to Contact Me at any time.

Thank you so much for visiting!
