Joybell brings a rare perspective to portrait photography—over 35 years of experience on both sides of the camera, as both international model and image-maker.

Her eye for composition is matched only by her intuition for people. Trained at the Yale School of Drama’s Summer Oxford program and through private study in New York, Joy uses performance-based techniques to help clients inhabit their presence with ease and grace.

She understands what it feels like to stand in front of the lens—vulnerable, visible, and wanting to look like yourself, only better.

With a background that bridges fashion, fine art, and human connection, Joy creates an atmosphere that is equal parts polished and playful.

The result: portraits that capture not just how you look, but the rare, magnetic energy of a life well lived.
