About three years ago I noticed some adorable family photos of a coworker's family on Facebook. I asked who did the photos (as I was about to have my first child) and gave JDM Fotos a try. It seemed to be too good to be true in the sense that there was no sitting fee, one price and I get all of the photos.... plus the rights?! Those kind of deals simply don't exist. Especially for this kind of quality. Three years later, JDM Fotos has been my exclusive photographer for our family photos. It is also who I recommend to my friends and coworkers looking for the best. It is a lovely couple who work from home, plus they will travel to local locations should you want that for your photos. As a bonus, John will do some photoshop on a couple of them and it is always a great surprise when he posts a couple up on Facebook as a surprise (with permission beforehand). I can't imagine going anywhere else for these special moments and only wish I knew them when my husband and I got married! DeeAnn, John's wife, is indeed a child whisperer as she always helps out with my now two children during the photo shoots. It never ceases to amaze me the poses she is able to get Jayden (my 3 year old) and Justin (5 month old) into. Another great factor is that they will never push you out the door for being there too long. They try to schedule enough time to do whatever photos you want for that session. This last session included Justin by himself, Jayden by himself, Jayden's 3rd bday, Halloween costumes, our family Christmas photo, plus some neat poses that John just instinctually tried and we loved! He gives you all photos including the bad ones which are a treasure in themselves. I wish I could attach all of the pictures we've had done the last three years! You can't get anything better and I can't speak highly enough of them. I assure you that once you go with them... you won't look anywhere else. Thank you John for the special memories and I look forward to many more years! If for some reason you still have concerns (I'm not sure why you would), please find JDM Fotos on Facebook and look at the continual proof of great work. read more

I have been going to John and Dianne for a few years now. Giving them five stars doesn't seem like enough. I ventured out once and that was a mistake. They have very affordable prices and they do an amazing job. I now have three children and they have always been so patient and so thorough in making sure I got all the shots I wanted i.e. ( single ones of each of us, sibling pics, mommy and kids, daddy and kids, kids being goofs..... I recommend them to nearly everyone I see. They're patient, kind, easy to work with, they're experienced, they know how to capture amazing moments and I love them! They're also very quick in getting the pictures done. They edit them, (yes even the blemishes like the scratches on baby's face that she got the night before) and give you black and whites of each one and the best part is they give you ALL of your photos! You get to print the size, the quantity, the style u want!!!! Doing Christmas gifts has become so easy thanks to them!! They even have this adorable little studio in their home and tons of backdrops and props and outfits and headbands for little ones. I just love how good they are with babies. Being grandparents helps I'm sure :) I brag about them because I know they do a wonderful job and I am positive anyone who tries them once will love them and become a continuous customer/client. Try them just once and you will never look for another photographer! read more

The best photographers anyone could ask for, Hands Down!!! JDM Photography was outstanding at our wedding. My wife and I got married on July 21st and we couldn't be more grateful that JDM Photography was able to photograph our wedding! First off, the venue we booked was supposed to contact JDM once we paid the venue, well, two days before our wedding, the venue calls and mentions that we were responsible for contacting JDM and setting it up with them, even though we were told different in the beginning. Luckily, JDM Photography was able to fit us in on such short notice. On the day of the event, the photographers arrived before the bride to make sure to get some photos of the table settings and decor of the wedding itself. I cannot stress how absolutely outstanding the quality of the photography was throughout the entirety of the wedding. Before the wedding kicked off, JDM Photography was doing an outstanding job at taking the photos efficiently and keeping the photos fun and professional. We definitely have some great shots of the wedding party full of laughter. Overall, JDM Photography not only helped to take memorable and lasting photos and videos, but they were able to make our Wedding Day that much more fun and joyous. read more

If I could give John and Deann 20 stars I would! They both are an amazing team and so far our few sneak peek pictures are amazinggg!! If it were not for John and Deann my wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did! They were both so helpful, so detailed, and so organized! Their eye for capturing special moments is great! They kept me calm, on schedule and went above and beyond what a "wedding photographer" is supposed to do! Deann was right there helping me with anything I asked her to do, she was helping my bridal party get down the isle and sometimes wrangling in drunk family members! John and Deann were amazing, I could recommend them 100x over! read more

Would highly recommend JDM Photography! Had a hard time finding a photographer in the high desert to take pictures for my grandson turning 1 year old. Found JDM Photography on Yelp and contacted them. John answered the phone right away and worked with my schedule. The day of the pictures John and his wife were very professional and worked well with my grandson. They were patient with my grandson and let him just be himself. The pictures turned out great and the price was very reasonable. Do not waste your time looking for a photographer to take pictures of children, your family or weddings. Just call JDM Photography. read more

I have been using JDM for 3 years now. I am always so impressed with his work, and his patience. My youngest daughter is very difficult to photograph. He's always so professional and friendly and his wife is just absolutely wonderful in posing and creating that distraction that allows for the kids to get photographed. It's always a pleasure working with them to get the best pictures around taken of my daughters! He is the only photographer I'll use to capture our special days! Thank you! read more

I have never met such incredible photographers. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Not only did they take impeccable photos, they ensured our day would go smoothly. If any hiccup occurred, the photographers helped solve the problems. They aren't just photographers, they are jacks-of-all-trades. Got a snag? They fixed it. They coordinated with various members of our wedding party to prevent any hiccups that might have occurred. Thank you for providing the best experience! read more

I will definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone! 10 stars for me! read more

JDM are top tier photagraphers, that much is evident. But they are even more than that. They are very kind, and very helpful. They did so much at my wedding that was nowhere in their job specs to do. They became my part time organizers and in general great company. I would recommend them for any event and I will from now on. Please heed this review and call JDM photography next time you need a photographer. read more
