This project began with a simple question. How do you capture a feeling that cannot be staged. Joy’s studio is more than a workspace. It is a safe environment where people are invited to show up exactly as they are. Our goal was to translate that sense of comfort and trust into a short film that felt true to her personality and her process.

Rather than creating something overly polished or promotional, we focused on building a visual story that felt warm, honest, and intimate. The film highlights Joy’s gentle approach behind the camera and the subtle moments that make her sessions feel so personal. From the way she speaks with her clients to the quiet confidence she brings into the room, every element was crafted to reflect her ability to make portrait photography feel approachable.

We approached the filming process with the same care that Joy brings to her work. Using natural lighting, soft pacing, and thoughtful composition, we created a film that feels calm and immersive. The goal was to make viewers feel what it is like to step into her studio, even if they have never met her. This meant capturing both the artistry of her photography and the emotional environment that surrounds it.

The final result is an all encompassing brand film that introduces Joy not only as a photographer, but as a person. It serves as a powerful website feature and a lasting piece of media that reflects her character, her values, and the experience she offers. More than just an introduction, the film acts as a living representation of her business, helping potential clients immediately understand that working with Joy is not just about taking portraits. It is about feeling comfortable, confident, and fully yourself.
