"...rocked my newborn to sleep, put her in her "throne", and captured the precious moments..."

" Joy came highly recommended by a friend of mine and we can see why. From the moment we met her at one of our favorite parks, it was comfortable. We have a 5 year old and she hit it off with him right away, and they became instant buddies. Which in turn, she had him participating and cooperating all throughout the session! She was patient with him and she managed to capture those moments I will hold dearly forever in my heart! She did both my maternity pictures and newborn pictures. She was so patient working with our little diva! Whom of course, did not want to sleep during the photo shoot! She managed to rock her to sleep, put her in her "throne", and capture my last baby in those precious moments that I will forever cherish! Thank you Joy for being great to work with and capturing those important moments in our lives!
​We will see you soon for senior portraits."

"....captured CANDID laughter and hugs between friends and family..."

" If I could sum up everything I say, it would be, “Her work is as amazing as her personality.” But I guess those words will still underestimate my whole experience with Oh Joy! Studios. When my graduation day was about to come, I was referred to her and intrigued to check her portfolio out. My first impression was, “WOW, she really knows how to capture happiness, warmth, and intimate moments within families!” I also instantly fell in love with the tone of her photographs; it’s bright, cheerful, and so Pinteres-ty – it is so me! Without a doubt, I contacted her and we agreed on time and place to meet on my commencement day. She sent me a couple of her graduation portfolios and asked me beforehand if I had some ideas in mind of how I would like the photos to be. Since I already adore everything about her work so I did not ask much.

On the day, she came on time despite how bad the traffic was. From far away, I could see her warm grin as she approached to hug and congratulated me. She was fun, energetic, and easy going. She made me so comfortable to pose in front of camera. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE candid photos! The fact that she kept up with me and captured the candid laughter and hugs I shared with friends and families without being asked is a huge plus for me. She was also full of ideas – she brought me two bags of confetti as props to blow and the result was beautiful! I asked her whether it was possible to have the result within a week before the graduation excitement died down. She really accommodated my request; I received the final result within three or four days!! I love how she always made sure that I liked everything – the color editing, the brightness, etc. She accommodated my preferences till I love the final result. I cannot thank you enough for bringing so much happiness and joy to my special day! I am beyond satisfied with your work and will definitely recommend you to everyone.

-Rufina Caroline Kesuma

"...The results are astounding, like a scene from a movie"

" Joy was exceptionally good to work with and genuinely excited about what she does. She gave more than we had expected, starting from the initial meeting to the final product delivery. Firstly, she met with us to discuss our ideas, location preferences, and special requests, followed by a brainstorming session. A Pinterest mood board was created not only to gather ideas but also to avoid assumptions and miscommunications.

On the day of the photo-shoot, her creativity shines as she directed us how to interact with each other and with the environment around us. The uncomfortable feeling as the bystanders watched us was gone as she instructed us to enjoy each other. True enough, our love chemistry was perfectly captured in the pictures. She came early to scout the location, and she stayed longer to make sure we got the perfect pictures. She was even more energetic and excited than us. Her passion was expressed in her hardworking attitude and her pursue of excellence. As a mother of three, it is practically impossible to do another side job, yet she stayed up past midnight just to work on our photos. Every time she finished a batch, she sent us a message to check out the pictures and the results are ASTOUNDING, like a scene from a movie. I can’t thank you enough to Joy, not only for her photos, but also for her passion.

Choose Joy as your photographer, you will get more than what you bargained for"

Much Love,

"The kids loved you instantly!"

"  We LOVE our family and maternity pictures! Words can't really describe how beautiful and meaningful your work is. Growing up, my family only have one formal family picture that I can remember hanged on our living room wall. I vowed to myself to ALWAYS capture our time growing up with our kids, because time doesn't turn back. Our family had so much fun photographed by you. The kids loved you instantly, you are very personal and natural with the kids!  You make it so easy and natural for us to pose in front of the camera. I LOVE our recent newborn photos with baby Emma! Thank you for your amazing work! 

-Ira and Patrick

"...sweet and professional..."

"Joy was such a pleasure to have at my son and daughter's birthday party! Because my son was turning 3 and my daughter was turning 1, Joy showed up with a Minnie Mouse hat!  She was so sweet and professional, and despite a room full of squirming babies and toddlers, we already had all the pictures we wanted at the event - with 30 minutes left to spare. The pictures turned out great, of course. I highly recommend Oh Joy! Studios for pictures of the little ones!"

-Claire and Greg Young

"...accommodating and insightful..."
​

Joy is a true professional. Not only was she accommodating and insightful during planning, she was also full of fun ideas while on site. I was happy with how she gave directions and handled outdoor environments, so my fiancee and I could relax and naturally smile! Most importantly, our final photos look candid, spontaneous, natural, and they represent our personalities really well. All of that with her artistic final touch, of course! :) With that said, I think I have officially worked with the best engagement photographer in Seattle! 

Much love, 
Catherine and Danny

"...Capturing the joy, love, and hugs between family and friends..."

"When I learn that Joy started her photography business, I adore her shots. I think she has that magical touch to make all the babies look so cute and all families look so warm and perfect! We decided to have Joy took our family picture when Tiara turns a month old. Joy was so patient and accommodating as Tiara was not as calm and as easy as newborn baby by 6 weeks old. The photos are definitely worth much to treasure for years to come. Especially when my mom passed away 5 months later, I am so glad that we have our photos professionally taken. Recently, Joy also helped me with Tiara's 1st birthday pictures. Those pictures are so lively. Joy has the eyes that can capture joy, love, and hugs between friends and family. I am so thankful and so happy with all the photos that Joy captured on that day. Over and over I am WOW-ed by Joy's ability to produce photos that are lively. Thank you, Oh Joy Studios! I am definitely one satisfied client and would not think twice to recommend Joy for your family photos!

"Straight out of Pinterest or a magazine spread!"

We recently did a photo shoot with Oh Joy! Studios and let me just start by saying WOW! So much fun! The setting was perfect for the Spring season and looked like it was straight out of Pinterest or a magazine spread! Not only did we fall in love with the setting but working with Joy was great too. She’s very personable, warm, and made us feel so comfortable doing the shoot. She captured moments of my family throughout the shoot that were very natural and genuine. We were able to be free, laugh and have fun, but also directed when we ran out of ideas for poses. She’s just great! 
I’m excited to be working with Oh Joy! Studios in the future.

"Adorable and original!"

We are so glad we were referred to Oh Joy Photography by one of our friends. Our family really enjoyed the photo session with Joy and the photos came out perfect- exactly what we had wanted the family pictures to look like! We find the set up and background adorable and original. It appears Joy really took the time to compile the right pieces for the background of the photo shoot. She did a fantastic job capturing the moment of our family playing at a park on a Saturday afternoon. This is not an easy task since capturing a 3 year old and an infant’s attention is extremely challenging. Joy was so patient with our kids and was able to entertain our 3 year old during the entire photo shoot. We look forward to another photo shoot in the near future with Oh Joy! Studios. Thank you for a super fun afternoon.

"The Art and Quality that speak for itself...."

"The art and quality of Oh Joy! Studios’ works speak for themselves. That is why after looking at a friend’s newborn and family photos taken by Oh Joy! Studios, I decided to do baby session for Audree and our first family picture. Since this is the first time, I was overwhelmed with so many decision to make - what outfit to wear for the family and photo ideas for the session, but throughout the process Joy always make herself available to exchange ideas with and she was really easy to talk to. She really made me feel at ease and valued as one of her client. The end results turn out to be great, thanks to her talent. I’m really happy that now I have beautiful pictures of my girls and the family to cherish for years to come. Thank you Oh Joy! Studios."

"...patient with the unpredictable behaviors of a newborn....beyond what we have hoped for!"

The pictures came out soooo great! It's beyond what we've hoped for.  You've captured the joy and the precious moments of our new family so beautifully and gave us a gift that we can look back on for years to come. Not only are you a talented photographer, you are also so good with our baby Elsie.  Being so patient with the unpredictable behaviors of a newborn, staying as long as we need you to... so that Elsie can rest in between shots allowing her to be in a good mood to smile for the camera.  You listened to what we wanted and delivered a product that is beyond what we have hoped for.  It was so good to work with you. Thank you! Thank you! You really capture our baby beautifully and our young family's joy!  We will be sure to call on you again for any future baby pictures.

-Tu and Vladimir

"...flexible, accommodating, and patient!"

Joy, thank you so much for coming to our home to shoot our newborn & family photos. We LOVE how the photos turn out! They are so beautiful I couldn't stop looking at them! We plan to enlarge some of our favorite photos so we can display them in our home. Thank you for your patience while doing the shoot with Erin & Brandon - I knew it couldn't be easy taking photos of 2 kids who wouldn't stop moving around! We can't wait to do more photo shoot of the kids with you as they grow older.

Joy came to our home to do the shoot for our newborn baby girl & for family portraits. I love her flexibility in working with a schedule that would work for our family, given we have a newborn, and how she was so accomodating & patient. She prepared ahead of time by asking us what props we like, what kind of photos we like, ideas, and expectation for the photoshoot. She came prepared and was very easy to work with. We had to stop the shoot a couple times because our baby was fussy and we need to change her, feed her, etc and Joy was really accomodating. Joy really has an eye for awesome portraits & we love her creativity. We received the photos in a couple weeks and they're just wonderful & touching - no other words to describe them. We received so many compliments on them!

I would recommend Oh Joy! Studios again in a heartbeat! :)

"Fun, Enjoyable, and Professional"

"I LOVE Oh Joy! Studios' work!
I am so happy that Joy and her team have done a fabulous job covering our event. I personally knew that they were good, but I never had imagined that the results would turn out this good. You have taken more than just pictures, you have actually captured the real smiles and emotions of the Westage Preschool Christmas Program. You have made our preschool's Christmas memories impossible to forget.

I really loved how relaxed you were when you're taking the photos; your smiles and kindness made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. When we saw the results, it was so incredible that it was almost impossible to choose from the set. Our parents loved their kids' photos and you did such a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the evening. Looking through the pictures make our staff feel like we are there again.

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job. I will let many people know and show them your beautiful work. I will surely use your service again for many other events here at our school."

"Easy to work with...incredible art!"

"In a time crunch and looking for a photographer who could translate my visions into reality, I was referred to Oh Joy! Studios. I cannot overstate how easy it was to work with Joy and how incredible her art is. She picked up on my vague explanations like she was in my head and added her own twist to surpass any expectations I had. I would recommend Joy to anyone looking for a super talented, efficient and professional photographer."

"Absolute WOW" 

"Joy, you out did yourself! I am absolutely in love with the photos that you look of my family. Joy was able to capture the spirit and personality of my children so well - (in a not so good, extremely cold day), but you would never know that!

The communication before the photo shoot was great, It was an absolute WOW to have each"scene" set up when we arrived on the set. Her attention to detail and understanding of children in photos was spot on!

I am extremely pleased that Joy was able to create memories for my 1 year old daughter that I will cherish forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have few people that I'd love to refer to you. We will see you again soon!"

- Molly and Derek

"Exceeded expectations...our kids loved her!"

"I'm so thankful that we found Oh Joy! Studios for our family photos this year. We have had several different photographers throughout the years, but we never found one that we wanted to CONTINUE to keep using. I'm so glad that my children are young and we're able to use her a lot more in the future! 

I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to do, and she was extremely open to my ideas and went all out and prepared for the shoot, getting props and what-not! We were in constant contact, and she exceeded my expectations by far. She even added a few great photo ideas herself, and they came out amazing! 

She is so creative and talented at what she does and the most important thing is that we could tell that she loves to do what she does. She was really great with my kids, and my kids loved her right off the bat, which made the shoot that much more successful. 

I will definitely recommended her to my family and friends.

"Great eye for beautiful poses and backgrounds..."

"Joy is amazingly talented, and had a great eye for beautiful poses and backgrounds. She was so gracious with our three kids and somehow convinced them to cooperate! She made our family photo dreams a reality, and now we have beautiful pictures to hang on the walls for years to come. We highly recommend Oh Joy! Studios for those looking for classic and timeless family photography."

-The Hoornstra family

"Our kids had so much fun..."

"We are thrilled with our family photos that you took! It's pretty much impossible to pick a favorite photo, because there's so many that I LOVE!!! We knew working with 2 almost 4 year olds & a 13 month old could be challenging, but you were amazing with them. They had so much fun and are still talking about you and the day that they got their pictures taken.

I LOVE that you were able to capture their individual personalities ! We also really enjoyed the photo journal that you created! We appreciate all of the time and energy that went into it. You wouldn't believe how many compliments I have gotten on the family photos. We look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks again for the great photo shoot!"

- Don and Jamie

"She puts complete dedication & love into what she does..."

"Oh Joy Studios did our maternity and newborn photos and we loved both results! Joy really took the time to understand and reach out to us before the photoshoot to find out our style and presented different ideas she had for us before we met. I appreciate how she really took the time to plan ahead her visions of the shoot.

We felt so comfortable around Joy when she was taking our pictures. You could really tell she put her complete dedication and love into what she does. On top of everything, it was such a pleasure to be around her and made the day a lot of fun!

She captured our newborn in such a natural way with such a variety of different styles... the photos will be such special memories to look back on when our little girl grows up. I would most definitely recommend Oh Joy! Studios to my friends if they were looking for photographer, because my husband and I had such wonderful experience and we are so happy with her work! "

- Richard and Ellen

"This Studio creates extraordinary results...!"

"Few words (among many) to describe her. She is talented, punctual, efficient, focus, humble, and creative. This studio creates extraordinary results! This is the 2nd time we had Joy to take pictures of us. We were so glad that she was available to capture our son's 1st birthday that we held in the park few weeks ago. The results were ALL amazing!

Its one thing to get a good pictures, but to be able to capture the emotion in the pictures its what differentiate a good photographer from the rest, and Joy is definitely one of them. We were so happy to see the results because not only she's able to capture all the details in the party like what we've requested, but somehow we get to feel how everybody's doing in the party! it's something that we often missed when we're the one hosting it. 

Thanks Oh Joy! Studios for helping us creating good family memories. This is something that we will cherish together as a family...... years from now."

- Jenny, Hady, Jacob

"Above and beyond my expectations..." 

"Oh Joy! Studios was wonderful to work with. I didn't know exactly what I wanted for my family photos, all I knew is that I wanted a Christmas photoshoot. Joy made that happen above and beyond my expectation. I was going to go to one of the commercial photographers you see in the mall or else where, but I knew I wanted more. We LOVE Oh Joy! Studios!!! She really captured our family's beauty. We will be going back to her for all our family's future photos."

- Stephanie Johansen

"Every mom in Seattle needs your number on their speed dial.."

"Dear Oh Joy! Studios,

Thank you for your wonderful work, as always. I am so glad for these photos, I think everyone looks great. I think every mom in Seattle need your number on their speed dial. These pictures would be great treasures in our family. Love them so much. Thanks again and again. Definitely will call you for all events to come"

Truly grateful,
- Juliana Oei 

"Entertaining, bringing out our kids' best and candid laughs..."

"We just want to sincerely thank Oh Joy! Studios for capturing our precious moments in Seattle. We know that schedule wise, the studio were very busy during Christmas season, but during picture day, you did not only shoot us, but you actually made sure that we have plenty (and I meant PLENTY until we are almost tired from smiling) of good pictures before calling it a day. You even went as far as entertaining, creating on-the-spot games, and playing pretends with Ivy and Jordan so you can bring out their best and candid laughs.

Thank you also for editing our pictures beautifully and for giving us more than what we expected. Knowing you for over a decade, we've always known that you do things above and beyond to make sure everything turns out impeccably. We are so fortunate to have our first  Winter holiday captured for a lifetime. These pictures will forever hold a special memory in our hearts and we have you to thank for that."

Lotsa big hugs,
- Awe, Dian, Ivy & Jordan

"Open to different ideas and willing to accommodate our specific requests..."

"Oh Joy! Studios has done absolutely wonderful, professional photography work for our family. Last year, she took photos of my husband and I, together with our newborn baby boy Raymond; photos that we will forever treasure as they capture so beautifully the emotion during that joyful time in our lives. She recently took another great set of photos during Raymond's 1st birthday party. Not only were the shots beautiful, but she really seemed to capture such incredible moments and so much variety of Raymond's personality. 

So, once again thank you for your incredible work. We really appreciate your openness to different ideas and your willingness to work with us when we wanted to get something specific. It's a great feeling to have special moments in our lives captured forever."

Love,
 - Rainer, Joanna, and Raymond

"...very patient towards our girls"

"It was so great working with you. Our pictures turned out amazing! We absolutely LOVE them all and you made our family look it's best! I've already had co-workers ask for you since they really liked how our pictures turned out. My husband was really impressed just with the sneak preview. Thanks again for working on them so fast too. 

We love how you were able to capture the special and natural moments of our family. You've got a great eye and very patient too with my girls! We were a bit worried about the weather, but you made it work and it was a true Seattle scene.

Our first family outdoor photo shoot was a success because of you! Thank you so much, you brought JOY to our photos :-) They bring us such happiness in our hearts when we look at them. You really capture the essence of our family. Keep up the good work!"

- DelaCruz Family

"Energetic, able to turn something simple into something magical..."

"We LOVE LOVE LOVE everything that she captured for us. What is amazing about her besides her many creative ideas, is that she was able to take something so simple and available and turn them into something magical... 

She was very flexible and she really listened to how we want the photos to be (and it shows on the results). Despite of how she was under the weather when we met, she was still this chatty and energetic photographer that we almost forgot she's not feeling well that day.

All in all, thanks for your time capturing us. We had so much fun and we hope that you did too!"

- Jeany and Hady

"Unique and personal..."

"I am so happy I chose Oh Joy! Studios to take my family's photos. Joy is so kind, creative, fun, patient with my kinds and most of all she takes amazing photos. When I found out about Oh Joy! Studios, I knew I wanted Joy to take my families photos, but I didn't have many ideas. Joy helped me come up with some excellent ideas for the photoshoot. She took the basic ideas I had in mind and made them so much better.

Joy made sure my photoshoot was unique and personal. She captured my family's real life moments and she went about and beyond than what I could of ever asked for. I will be recommending her to family and friends!!!! Thank you!

- Brittany, Ronnie, Kayden and Maily.

"High quality pictures...with a mix of candid "in-the-moment" photos"

Joy is such a fantastic person to work with. Very easy going yet can give direction when she envisions the perfect shot in her mind. 
She takes very high quality pictures and has a good mixture of beautiful posed photos as well as candid "in-the-moment" photos.
