meet Joanna

It's so nice to meet you! Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a horse riding, marathon running, dog loving, bagpiping, kilt wearing, percussion playing, vegetarian eating, hiking, swimming, biking, St. Patrick's Day nut, State Fair junkie, sugar-holic, early bird, social media nerd, star gazer, Irish obsessed, camera toting, travel lover, joke telling, Harry Potter fan, kind of gal.

I was born in Syracuse, New York right around Halloween (quite fitting, if you ask me). I grew up disappearing into the local park nearly everyday with my brother on crazy adventures. My horse obsession started in those early years. Most little girls outgrow that obsession, but I guess not all do. I started photography young, and it's another thing I never outgrew. I love photography, and it rocks my world. Hopefully my photography can rock yours, too. 

I think photography is remarkable because it doesn't just make a picture; it can create a story and evoke an emotion. It's like powerful music; it can make you laugh, cry, and feel joy in your soul. One of my favorite moments as a photographer are when I am editing and I see special moments pop up on my screen that I know will move the viewer. I love working with new clients who always feel like old friends after a day of laughing together. I always love that they stay in touch with me and I get to watch them through the years.
