Beautifully capture all skin tones
Celebrating Diversity & Heritage
For too long, camera technology, including our own, has failed people of color by making them look either washed out, too unnaturally bright, or too unnaturally dark. Everyone deserves to be seen as they truly are.
Joy’s signature portraits and crafted skills accurately portray the beauty of all black and brown skin tones.
Our work is recognized for celebrating and showcasing all of the skin tones that make every single one of us beautiful, whether portraits for business headshots, or for celebrating our family’s or children’s milestones, such as high school senior graduation, sweet sixteen, or showcasing dance or performance talents or just celebrating us in a beauty and glam portraits.

...understands the lighting and colors that compliment my skin tone
As a woman of color, I’ve had a hard time finding a photographer that understands the lighting and colors that compliment my skin tone. Joy gets it. She does such an excellent job with lighting, colors, and posing that even the shots she caught with my eyes closed look great.
