Anyone can take a picture, but not everyone can produce a work of art. 
 
Everyone's idea of art is different and every artist has a unique style.  And yes, art can be a big investment.  And like any investment, research is necessary before making a decision.  On this site you will find information necessary to help you in deciding if I am the right photographer for you.
Why Photography by Joy?


Being a photographer means so much more to me than simply taking pictures. Life is fleeting.  In my work, I strive to capture not just people but spirit, emotion and relationships. A person’s relationship to those they love, a facial expression, a certain glint in the eyes.  
 
I had a customer who was hesitant in having her children photographed.  Her reason?  In the past it was such a battle and the finished work was never very good. I assured her it would be different with me, and it was.
 
The kids had such a great time and I ended up with so many wonderful images - it was hard for me to pick a single favorite.  At the end of the session my customer said, "That was actually fun."
 
That is my goal - to have a good time and make sure that whatever it is that makes someone unique, whatever is special in that instant is captured forever.
