Destination, Lifestyle, & Wedding Photographer
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Melissa Joy - a photographer, artist, and creative.
My work is fueled by my love for people and the art of capturing their stories.
It's not the angles, edits, filters, or poses that give images their essence; it's about you – the people captured within them. You inspire my photography, you infuse it with purpose, and it’s your stories that breathe life into my work.
Whether through the lens of a camera, paint on a canvas, or words on a page, my aim is to highlight the beauty in the seemingly mundane in a way that resonates with your heart. So stick around - we have lots of stories to share.
Not Poses.
I believe that the best photos aren’t posed; they’re prompted. My approach is all about making you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.
I specialize in documentary-style photography that captures raw, real moments - the kind that tell a story that belongs only to you. Instead of stiff poses, I guide you with gentle prompts and let natural interactions bring out genuine emotions and reactions. Whether it's a shared laugh, a tender glance, or an unguarded moment of joy, these are the moments that create images with impact.
I’m here to capture your memories exactly as they are: candid, genuine, and full of heart.
