Hi, I’m Joy—and this is hands down the most powerful portrait experience I’ve created so far. I cannot wait to meet you.
I started this work because I wanted to give women something more than just photos. I wanted to create an experience that actually means something—something that feels fun, a little indulgent, and genuinely transformative.
This is your chance to step into the spotlight, to honor everything you’ve been through, and to celebrate the woman you are today. And trust me… she deserves to be seen.
My journey as an artist:
It wasn't until I picked up that first 35mm camera at the age of 15... that I could really see. My eyes had been open, but I was blind. Experiencing life through my lens has enabled me to see the nuances in nature and people that make up the wonder of what life is all about.
As I entered into my forties my mission became clear: to help women remember who they were before they became everything to everyone else. Through my lens, I seek to capture not just their outer beauty, but also their spirit and individuality, reminding them that they are worthy of celebration and love. My passion is capturing the special moments in lives of all of my clients and photographing women of all backgrounds to show them how beautiful they are in their own skin.
An incredible woman that I admire said it best....
