KIND WORDS FROM PREVIOUS WORKSHOP

  • “Joy, I just wanted to drop you a message to say thank YOU so much for my shoot.

    For someone that’s always struggled to accept my lumps, bumps, stretch marks and everything in between, to standing in front of you in my underwear in a barn was pretty WILD but the photos say it all!

    Thank you SO much for making me feel like a million dollars that day. I look back on my photos and smile.

    Thank you for capturing not just my face but my confidence and happiness!

    You didn’t just show me how I look, you showed me who I am - and I love her 🤍”

    - Katherine

    “I went to Joy’s self-love workshop and honestly got so much more out of it than I expected! It was such a fun and uplifting day.

    I usually hate my photo been taken but I left feeling lighter, more confident, and with a little extra love for myself.

    And to top it off, I walked away with some of the best photos I’ve ever seen of me! Truly such a beautiful experience.

    I can’t wait to book onto my next self-love day.”

    - Jennife

  • “Absolutely ADORE the images from your incredible self love workshop. I came away with a new found love and confidence of my body, new friends and a whole lot of new laughter lines.

    Would absolutely love to come back again. Joy you are an absolute delight. Thank you forever for the experience and love. ❤”

    “I had such an amazing experience at the cowgirl self love shoot. All the girls were so inspiring and uplifting.

    Joy was wonderful, she helped me to pose, gave me a confidence boost and made it a fun filled afternoon.

    Her work is beautiful!”

  • “On the day of the retreat I was feeling depressed and anxious about life stuff. I was encouraged to come along and I am SO glad I did! Through group journalling, dancing, photoshoots and meditation and all round gorgeous atmosphere of supportive sisterhood, I felt lifted up and accepted.

    It was exactly what my soul needed and I felt so much more upbeat and smiley by the time I left and that was thanks to everyone for providing me a safe space to be myself. I recommend their retreats to everyone. Thankyou for meeting me where i was at and accepting me as I am ❤️”

    “I attended the self love workshop in May and it was such a beautiful and safe space.

    All of the women were so encouraging and Joy led the photo shoots both group and individually effortlessly.

    The photos are amazing and something I will treasure forever!!

    Joy is just GREAT.”

    “Absolutely loved the energy and positivity of Joy.

    Her Self Love workshops are intense and filled with love, offering a transformative experience that leaves participants feeling empowered and uplifted.

    Joy's ability to create a warm, inclusive environment allows everyone to feel safe and open up, making the sessions deeply impactful.

    The combination of her vibrant personality and the profound content she delivers ensures that each workshop is a journey towards greater self-awareness and self-compassion.”

    “Joy is a beautiful human with a gift for photography. I attended her self-love workshop which was just the most uplifting day.

    It was my first proper time in front of a camera, so I started off a little nervous with no clue how to pose, but Joy made me feel so comfortable, gave plenty of helpful tips and made the photoshoots super fun. I left the workshop feeling lighter, brighter and really empowered, with the bonus of some really amazing photos that I will treasure forever.

    Thanks Joy :)”

This week has been a personal reminder to me that I need to advocate more for my fellow LGBTQIA+ people. I often find it difficult to speak up because for the most part I feel like I don’t have the right words… But actually sometimes that’s not helpful and not good enough, and I need to do better. But I want people to know that all love is welcome here with open fucking arms. A bucket load of jazz ready to get excited about your love, your wedding and you as individuals. And for those who’ve had bad experiences in this industry, it genuinely makes me really sad and I’m sorry if that has been the case for you. #lgbtqiaphotographer #pan #lgbtqweddingphotographer
I have the best and cutest couples ever, and I love it when they get in touch with me to update me on their life… or even better to show me all the photos I shot that are now framed proudly in their homes 🫶 And that is exactly what one of my couples did last week. I photographed their pre-wedding shoot and their very special elopement which was completely adorable. Now they have photos from both on their walls and I absolutely love it. It was a total highlight of my week and what makes me love my job so much.
