Joy is a storyteller who uses mediums including film photography, digital photography, and video. As a creative, she strives to build relationships with clients and subjects to ensure their stories and purpose are seen authentically through her work. She is currently in a committed relationship with the ocean, which brings her peace, calm, and stillness, found through meditation. Joy graduated from the Corcoran School of Art and Design at George Washington University and was awarded a Master's in New Media Photojournalism. She has since pursued my career as a digital production manager, while also maintaining freelance opportunities in photography, videography & digital storytelling.

Testimonials
"Joy has been there to photograph a few milestones in my life. She photographed my actual surprise engagement and eventually my engagement photoshoot for save the dates. She has a way of capturing love and life in a powerful way. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and her love of the craft really shines through in her photos. 10/10 would recommend, every time."

"I’ve hired Joy multiple times for work projects and personal projects, like my surprise engagement. Throughout each session, Joy is incredibly organized, communicative, and professional, in addition to capturing gorgeous moments. Her eye, craft, and dedication show in how she makes her subjects feel—safe, warm, and vibrant. I’ve been recommending Joy for years and will continue to do so!"

"Her name speaks for itself! Truly a Joy to work with. Joy has captured my essence in many phases of my life and even has shot a skincare campaign for me that turned out beautifully. She will make you feel so comfortable and put you at ease from start to finish. With her versatility and warm personality you will not be disappointed!"

"I cannot recommend Joy enough! She captured some of the most important milestones in our lives—our wedding and pregnancy—and exceeded every expectation. Joy has an incredible eye for detail, and her ability to bring out the emotion and essence of each moment is truly unmatched.
For our wedding, she captured the joy, love, and laughter of the day so perfectly that we feel like we’re reliving it every time we look at the photos. The creativity and thoughtfulness behind each shot made our photos unique and personal."
