My photography experience
Sundrea Design/Build LLC
My top priority is always to meet—and exceed—the needs and expectations of those who choose me as their photographer.
I’ve worked with Paul Connolly, the owner of this award-winning landscaping company, since 2024. As his photographer, I’ve produced multiple promotional branding videos and professional headshots, consistently exceeding his expectations!
Renovated Saxophone
Throughout the process, I focus on providing a fun, memorable, and rewarding experience while delivering top-notch photography and video services.
In 2024, talented saxophonist Ismael Ramirez hired me to produce a music video for his branding, and he was thrilled with the final result!
Arizona Sands Club
I am A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau, properly insured, and FAA Part 107 certified for commercial drone photography.
After frequently visiting this luxurious club in the heart of the University of Arizona, I was commissioned in 2023 to produce sizzle videos to elevate and accelerate their digital marketing content.
My client, Jennefer Coyle, wrote this 5-star review:
“Jonathan is an exceptional photographer. He captured photos for my event, and they were all excellent quality and amazing. The experiences before, during, and after the event were seamless. Jonathan is very professional and provided the photos in record time. I will definitely return to Jonathan Arlia for future photography needs! He was fantastic!”
PPEP Inc.
Clients throughout Tucson rely on my professionalism, reliability, and commitment to exceptional customer service.
For years, I’ve been privileged to be the dedicated event photographer for this terrific nonprofit that improves the quality of rural life and focuses on youth development.
My client and friend, Amy Bass wrote the 5-star review:
“I have worked with Jonathan Arlia Photography for over three years. I have never met a photographer who is so dedicated to his customers’ needs. He has not only a great photographer with many skills, but also a great consultant, especially if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for in a product. He really takes the time to walk you through it and give you the best product at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend him for both small and large projects. He also does drone work!”
Ari on Forth
Clear communication is central to my workflow. From the start, we will plan the essential details of your photo session or video project, ensuring expectations are aligned.
This large, stylish apartment complex in downtown Tucson, Arizona sought to replace AI-generated visual content with authentic, high-quality drone footage.
My client, Venus Sweetland, wrote the 5-star review:
“We recently worked with Jonathan to film a video and 3D tour for our property website. He was very responsive and the quality of work was great. Highly recommended!”

Headshots
Throughout my photography career, many professionals have trusted me to create expert headshots, consistently delivering results they’re proud to use online and on their business cards.
U of A - Bear Down Festivals
With a trained artistic eye, I hold my work to high standards and consider each project complete only when it meets the level of quality you deserve. Every client receives my full creative attention—you’re never just a number.
In the fall of 2021, I was hired by The Marshall Foundation as their event photographer for several University of Arizona football team pep rallies at Main Gate Square. These high-energy events drew thousands of enthusiastic fans, and it was exciting to be part of the celebration and even trading high fives with Wilbur Wildcat!
65 Yoga Classes
Your vision matters, and my goal is to bring it to life through professional photography, videography, and visual storytelling.
In 2017, I was chosen for a year-long project to photograph over 2,000 images of yoga practitioners for the comprehensive book 65 Yoga Classes by my first client, Tim Howell, which was published in 2019.
Tim’s 5-star review was:
“I have been doing business with Jonathan Arlia for over 10 years. He is the best of the best. He helped me put over 60 yoga videos on You Tube and helped me publish my yoga book, 65 Yoga Classes by taking over 2,000 pictures over a 10-month period of time. He also designed a fantastic website for my yoga business and book sales. Jonathan was always on time and professional in every way. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Johnathan Arlia for any job he chooses to take on or says he can accomplish. Tim Howell, Owner, Divine Joy Yoga, Author, 65 Yoga Classes.”
