About The Hobbyist Studio

The Hobbyist Studio

Head Photographer

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

Very caring and understanding individual with lots of love and passionate for what I do. Through this photography journey, I hope to connect with kindred spirits who share my belief in the power of visual storytelling. I want to capture the beauty in the mundane and create lasting memories that bring joy to people's lives.

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Hobbyist Studio, and I can’t speak highly enough about the professionalism and the quality of the work. From start to finish, Jordan was not only incredibly skilled but also attentive to every detail. He took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. The photos he captured were beyond my expectations—crisp, vibrant, and full of personality. Whether you’re looking for portraits, event photography, or something more creative, Hobbyist Studio delivers on every front. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free, and the final product was nothing short of perfection. I highly recommend Hobbyist Studio to anyone looking for top-notch photography services!

    Came in early. Got some shots that I didn't even think he would get but he gave them to me anyway all edited. He was suppose to come after make up but he came in an hour early and he was able to capture my baby with my grandpa, laughing and hold her. Just beautiful! The wedding pictures came out fantastic. I am definitely going to get wedding albums from him.

    The attentiveness, selections and understanding of what we wanted to achieve with our portraits, were a blessing. And to also meet our budget was the icing on the cake!!!
