Linda (Von) Kriteman has been involved in children, pet, studio, wedding and stock photography since the late 1970's with particular training in the photo finishing and processing areas. Our customers have said over and over again how Linda makes them feel right at home in any photographic situation. Her skills as a photographer are self-evident and she is a major contributor to the success of JonVon.

Jack (Jon) Kriteman first started in photography at the age of 13, when he worked as a photographer's assistant for a local professional photographer in the Boston area who used a 4x5 Speed Graphic. The photography bug hit him hard and he soon went on to purchase a Nikon FTN, build a darkroom in his basement, become photography editor of the newspaper, and eventually get a Bachelors Degree in Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology.

Since the 1970's, Jack has worked for four professional studios before going out on his own with JonVon. "I LOVE taking pictures ~ capturing images ~ freezing memories ~ painting with light. When you love what you do, it's not really work."

"Our philosophy is really quite simple. A complete package that is everything you want and nothing you don't; everything is covered and there is no worry and no hassle. It's all about You!"

"Our goal is to set ourselves apart with outstanding quality, convenience, value and customer service. Please take a look at The JonVon Difference section in this website for more info on what we do for you."

Mr. Kriteman has a Bachelors Degree in Photography from Rochester Institute of Photography, arguably the best school in the country for such a program. Before starting JonVon Photography, he also owned his own processing & finishing lab where he catered to professionals and advanced amateurs processing Black & White, C-41 (color negatives) and E-6 (color slides) from 110 through 4x5 sheet film and offering contact prints and enlargements up to 16x20. Mr. Kriteman was shooting in medium format until he made the move to digital during 2004, when professional digital equipment was just starting to compare with film for quality.

Kriteman has earned the “Certified Professional Photographer” (CPP) designation from the Professional Photographic Certification Commission. He earned this designation after meeting rigorous requirements measuring both his artistic and technical competence. The Professional Photographic Certification Commission currently recognizes fewer than 2,000 Certified Professional Photographers world-wide, or less than 3% of all photographers.

The Professional Photographic Certification Commission is the leading body for certifying imaging professionals. Certified Professional Photographers must complete a written exam, a stringent image evaluation and adhere to a strict code of conduct. Certification must be renewed on a regular, periodic basis ensuring continuing confidence in the professionalism of Certified Professional Photographers.
