About Me

Hello, I am Jackie Arias, Master Photographer and the artist behind JCA Photography.

My passion for creating timeless images has gotten stronger over the years. It’s not everyday someone can turn their passion into their job. 40 years of being able to do what  I love has brought me to this.

My work has been published in print, digital, and in broadcast media ranging from the Smithsonian to the Miami Herald, the NFL and Super Bowl Committee to Florida State Parks along with the Audubon Society.

But nothing brings me more great joy than to hand over images I was able to create for someone.

I am grateful to have worked with outstanding clients such as NBC Miami, Telemundo Network, and Merrill Lynch among others, and with exceptional people in Miami who have worked with me to realize their visions through portraits, maternity sessions, underwater photography, and more. 

For me, photography is more than just taking pictures, it`s creating pictures. Creating memories that last for a lifetime. 

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
