Custom heirloom wall art 
for busy northern virginia families
who areready to ditch the digital Package
& display what matters.

What if your kids could grow up seeing how loved they were

every single day?

When I was a kid, our living room walls were covered in photos.  That's 22 years of hugs, milestones, and memories. It told our story without saying a word. I grew up knowing I was loved.

Now, I build those same walls of love for other families.

Yours can be next.


A session with me includes a calm, judgment-free space where your kids can just be themselves—wiggles, meltdowns, and all. With over a decade as a school social worker, I know how to handle big emotions, sibling chaos, and even moody teens. I don’t watch the clock—your session lasts as long as it takes to capture the real, connected moments you’ll want to remember forever.

where kid chaos is welcome, teens can breathe, and we stay until the magic happens.

Real Moments.
Zero Pressure.

...will cherish the baby photos we received.

"Truly enjoyed working with Joy
& will cherish the baby photos we recently received.”

My philosophy & vision for your Session:

let's get planning

Connection Over Perfection 
I value real, meaningful connection—candid laughter, tender hugs, and quiet moments that tell your family’s true story.

Comfort Creates Magic 
I create a warm, playful environment where everyone can feel safe, relaxed, and truly themselves—especially the little ones.

Purpose-Driven Storytelling 
My journey as a mother fuels my work. I photograph with purpose, honoring both life’s joy and its sacred, fleeting moments.

I loved our session so much that I bought two more for my family members.

Joy is such a wonderful photographer — I loved our session so much that I bought two more for my family members. She put my two kids at ease so you can tell that she’s a mom who knows how to wrangle toddlers. She was so communicative and had great ideas for poses. Very easy to work with and I loved the prints!

From Digital photos to forever frame. 

Because your memories deserve more than sitting in a storage file. 
They deserve a spotlight.

You did the hard part—booking the session, wrangling outfits, bribing kids with snacks—and now you have a gorgeous gallery of images you love. But if those memories stay trapped in a folder on your phone, did the story really get told? That’s where I come in—to turn your favorite moments into timeless heirloom artwork that lives on your walls, not just your screen.

The aesthetic was perfect.

Joy had lots of great ideas for shots, both fun and traditional. She was patient with the kids and brought out their best. We were impressed with the beautiful shots of our family that she was able to capture. The aesthetic was perfect
