Joy Rahat Portraits

Leiah Rocheleau

I’ve not only worked with Joy as a model but also had family photos done as well. She does amazing work and is very attentive to her clients needs. She will help with everything from styling to posing. She truly cares about her clients being happy and satisfied with her work.

…I felt as though I was a fashion model during my photo shoot. It was so much fun to experience the pampering from getting my hair done and make-up by Johanna to having a glass of wine and lunch during a break from the photo session. Once my photos were taken, Joy added our girls and Roy to the session. She had us constantly laughing and cherishing every moment together. I could not imagine what we would see at the day of the reveal and to order our prints

Joy is truly an outstanding photographer! For my daughter’s 16th Birthday I was looking for more than photos, I wanted a memorable experience and Joy exceeded our expectations. She and her team provided hair styling, makeup, wardrobe access, and pre-shoot wardrobe consultation. Joy is a consummate professional, and the pictures are absolutely stunning.

I would like to tell everyone about the incredible experience. Each time I work with Joy, I have given her complete control and trust in what we are creating together….she has exceeded my wildest hopes each time. The experience is not only perfect from the final product but the process is enlightening, fun, candid and empowering!

Joy is a rare artist who can bring forth uniqueness and beauty in each of us. Her ability to put you at ease and her superb technical skills perfectly complement her talent. Before working with Joy I did not value professional photography because my previous professionals pictures were bland images with no character or life in them, though taken by expensive cameras. Joy’s photos changed what I expect of portraits. Her portraits are an art form that radiate life and energy capable of transforming how we see ourselves and other people. I would give 100 stars here if it was possible. Thank you, Joy!

Working with Joy for my dance portraits was absolutely wonderful! I felt like she worked both of our visions together during the entire process, resulting in the creation of exquisite art that captured the essence of being a dancer from the emotion to the elegant grace.

Excellent, highly skilled photographer, very knowledgeable & easy to work with. I am already booked to use her service again as we loved our photos so much.

5 starts all the way!

Joy was such a pleasure to work with. I can’t rave enough about how extraordinarily talented she is. Her artistic abilities and immense knowledge about how to produce beautiful photos along with her ability to provide clear direction during the shoot created some of the most amazing photos for us. Highly recommend! Thank you, Joy!

It took a lot for me to do this and feel comfy in my own skin but Joy made me feel at ease. It’s nice to know that curvy girls can look and feel beautiful too! I’m hopeful it will be a memorable Christmas present for my fiancé.

My daughter had her high school senior portraits taken by Joy. The entire experience was wonderful, and provided memories that will be a part of our family for a long time. It was important to Joy to meet with us, and get to know us, and then, she was available when we were shopping for wardrobe items. The portrait session was comfortable and fun! And the end products, the portraits, were fabulous!

Thank you Joy!

THANK YOU JOY!!!! Thank you for an amazing experience of having my beauty portraits. I have never met anyone quiet like you. You have an unbelievable ability to see a vision and make it come to life. You made me look and feel beautiful beyond my expectations. I was unsure and a little nervous about having my beauty portrait done. Right away you told me what to expect, calmed my fears and made me feel completely comfortable. I now know what it feels like to be a princess.

We recently did a dance photo session with Joy for our daughter. From start to finish, this was such an amazing experience. Joy took so much time to talk with us before hand regarding outfit selection and explaining what would work best and what wouldn’t. She also asked my daughter many questions about her favorite outfits, etc to make sure that she was excited about the outfits chosen. The day of the session, her hair and make up were done and looked fantastic. Joy was able to capture such amazing pictures that also captured my daughter’s personality perfectly. The finished pictures and entire experience were truly works of art that we will treasure forever.
