“Joy is the most kind dog photographer whose talent and empathy are evident in her work. She took the time to understand my dog’s temperament, infusing creativity and spontaneity into the session. Our photo shoot took place in the fall, capturing my dog against a backdrop of stunning autumn leaves and foliage, which added a magical touch to each image.”
