The copyright footer on the site itself gives a good clue. The site's copyright notice reads "©Copyright 2000 - 2064 | SJBEARDEN," suggesting it has been around since at least 2000 — that's over 25 years. I wasn't able to pull a precise WHOIS registration date from search results, but the site's own claim points to the year 2000 as its founding.

As for what it is: sjbearden.com is the personal website of Scott J. Bearden, a photographer and hobbyist based in Marble Falls, Texas. Here's what the site covers:
Photography: It offers digital photo prints for sale, travel photos, candid photography, event slideshows, wedding photos, and digital art photos on canvas.

Sjbearden
Religion: There's a section touching on his Christian faith and related topics.

About the site itself: Scott explains his philosophy of maintaining a personal website rather than relying solely on social media, noting that social networks impose limitations on formatting and content that a personal site doesn't.
Sjbearden
He also owns two other web servers, including lzdronecoach.com and finecoat-systems.com.

It's very much an old-school personal homepage — the kind that was popular in the early 2000s — maintained by someone with a passion for photography and sharing his life online.
