The BJP Portrait Experience

As a photographer, my goal is to freeze those special moments in time—capturing the genuine interactions and love you share. Many of my photos focus not on smiling at the camera, but on each other, preserving the real, unposed moments that make your story unique.

Of course, I’ll always get a few classic portraits with everyone looking at the camera, but my main focus is you—your connections, your laughter, your love. I’m a candid photographer, here to document the beautiful, unscripted moments that truly reflect your family.
Tell me all the details:
- 60 minutes at a location of your choice

- Styling and planning tips for a worry free session
- Interactive activities to create genuine emotions

Lifestyle Home Sessions

Capture your family in the place that means the most—**your home. 🏡💕 These sessions are all about family bonding, focusing on the little moments that make your time together so special.

You'll choose two activities your family loves, and I’ll be there to document the laughter, connection, and joy as they unfold.

Some ideas include:
🎲 Family game night
🎨 Crafting or drawing with chalk
🍪 Baking or cooking together
🚴‍♂️ Riding bikes or playing outside
🔥 Enjoying a campfire
💦 Running through the sprinkler
📖 Reading books or playing with toys

Just like my outdoor portrait sessions, home sessions are 60 minutes long—but from the comfort of your own space, where your family can truly be yourselves.

As a mom myself, I know firsthand just how quickly time passes. Watching our children grow each year is a bittersweet gift—one filled with joy, nostalgia, and love.

My own journey to motherhood was an emotional rollercoaster, with more lows than highs. But in the end, we were blessed to adopt our incredible son and, in the process, gained a wonderful birth family as well. 💕

"Joy is an absolute dream to work with for every type of photo session. She has done almost all of our big family milestones – from engagement and wedding photos to maternity and family photos. We keep returning to her for our photo sessions because we fall in love with every session more than the previous. Her innovative ideas, creative eye and professional yet bubbly demeanor are just a couple of reasons we love her. We are always smiling and laughing throughout the entire session. You will not be disappointed!"
