Introduction: My service has been taking photos and creating memories for families for over 20 years. My photos create an emotional story that reveals your day. Capturing family memories is a priority. With a relaxed and fun style I am committed to providing an exceptional photographic experience. I provide clean backgrounds, free of distracting objects. My photos have been said to look alive and are creative. After taking college classes in photography, I trained at a portrait studio and was hired immediately as the manager of the studio. My personality is fun loving so that you enjoy the photo session and can smile with ease. Photography is not a job to me but an opportunity to help you achieve your vision for photography on you special day. I capture photos of weddings, senior high portraits, business portraits, and real-estate properties.My style is mainly photojournalism, with a contemporary, creative style. The traditional and portraiture style is also included. All images are placed unto a flash drive or put into Goggle Drive. I use a polarizer outdoors to diminish the sun glare and to make the colors pop. A professional lab provides your reprints, modern stand-out prints, canvas and metal prints, and/or photo albums. During our consultation I ask questions to learn what you desire in the photos. It pleases me to know that I am achieving your vision. I love to create unique photos of the various items purchased for a wedding or take you photo with a personal item that reflects your personality. This service is not a job to me but instead a moment to provide memories of your special day or event. My photos are full of emotion, family love and togetherness. Please contact me for your event.

This photo job might as different than most. Needed closeup photos if a 150 year old gravestone. Joan was very receptive to the job and did an excellent job in documenting the stone as it exists today. Very reliable and easy to work with.

Joan was the type of individual to work with that made me feel relaxed about my wedding day photos. She was there doing her professional work, but not in anyway a distraction. We had some challenges due to bright sunny skies and a gorgeous day, ( light challenges), but we were able to get beautiful wedding pictures, due to her ideas, eye and set up. Her prices were reasonable, she listens to what you actually want and doesn’t try to convince you that you need more. She was personable and professional.

Details: Bridal portrait • I'm flexible • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc.

Joan was absolutely amazing! She really takes care to make sure the posing/scenery works great for the shot, and the turnaround time for receiving the photos is fantastic! Joan is incredibly great at what she does and the pricing is very affordable, even with such professional high quality pics. Super pleased I booked with her!

Joan is so easy to work with. As Seniors (like in AARP) trying to put together a wedding at the last minute a professional was needed for our photography. She is so accommodating and has good ideas. I am looking forward to the wedding and know that I am in good hands with her. UPDATE: We were so pleased with her work! Joan easily moved around to get the shots. She automatically knew what to shoot and it was a blessing to have her with us on our wedding day. This professional was responsive and followed up. She helped make it successful; I would hire her again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My business provides 5 packages. I offer the basic packages then make changes to meet the needs of my couples. Prices run from a full day with a flash drive/ DVD of 600-700 edited images, to the small Mini Package of 3 hours for $550. Photo Albums are options to all packages. My popular package is $1150, which includes 6 hrs of coverage and a flash drive of 500-600 edited images. I provide canvas and metal prints, stand out prints, and coffee table photo books. All images are captured with high resolutions. Photo prints are provided from a professional lab and added at a very reasonable price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I desire to know them personally so that I can capture their personalities in the photos. I listen to them. We talk about them and what is important to them.For weddings, we discuss what they need but I offer suggestions that I know from experience that works. I ask them what they want for services and create a package around their needs and budget.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took several photography classes. The professor asked me to join him in his small business as the stills photographer while he did the videography. I also trained at a Portrait Studio. They quickly hired me as the manager due to my creative talent and portfolio. I have many years of experience that is needed with the trials of a wedding.
