As you journey through life, Journey Brave.
Hey, I'm Jonathan Banks. But you can call me JB. I'm a photographer, copywriter, content creator, and co-parent of an amazing 9-year-old boy.
I love the art of storytelling. I thrive on authenticity. Sharing my gift with the world is deeply fulfilling and I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to do so.
