Hello! I'm Matthias Ithan'niaz

a self-taught Arizona-based travel photographer dedicated to capturing the joy in every moment. I grew up in a Mexican household where photos were essential, and somewhere along the way I became the family photographer—unofficially at first, and now officially through my business, JoylensImages. With 10 years of experience working with children, including 3 years supporting kids on the spectrum, I bring patience, understanding, and a warm, comfortable energy to every session. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified as well as CPI trained and have experience working with individuals with ADHD, family trauma backgrounds, and diverse support needs. I’ve photographed kids, events, families, maternity sessions, artists, weddings and more, always creating images that feel natural, heartfelt, and true to who you are. If it needs a camera, I’m your guy!
