Hey there!

My name is Joy Breitkreutz (pronounced Brite-krites). I am married to my best friend, whom I have loved since I was seventeen, and we have been blessed with two beautiful little boys. I love sparkly things, the color pink and movie theatre popcorn. I love heart to heart talks and laughing until you can hardly breathe. I am a total sap and a hopeless romantic, I cry at nearly every wedding I attend. Being able to not only witness the love between people, but also be able to document it, is an incredible honor to me. To give people tangible memories, through photographs gives me an incredible amount of joy!

 
 
 

Real People, Real Moments

My most favorite thing and goal in photography is documenting real people in real moments. You know when you see a picture of yourself and it doesn't even look like you, because you were just giving a super forced smile or trying to pose the way someone told you to? Well, that is exactly the thing I try to avoid. My approach is to get to know YOU, make you as comfortable as possible and guide you along as I shoot authentic moments of you just being yourself with the one or ones you love...

Testimonials

“Wow, Joy's photography is absolutely stunning. She puts her heart and soul into her work, and it shows. Having your photos taken can feel so uncomfortable but Joy made both my husband and I feel so comfortable, it was as though we were spending the day with a friend. She captured every special moment during our wedding day and truly put us first. Aside from her amazing work, she was just so lovely to work with, from start to finish. She was professional, prompt and easy going. I will absolutely be recommending Joy to anyone in need of a photographer!
