meet the person behind the lens

Nice to meet you! I'm Joey.

I love creating together because it gives us a chance to build new connections. Creating genuine and authentic images of others' love -- for themselves and others -- is most possible when you have a strong sense of what you love: what you love about your interests and what you love about yourself. Come learn about me, then tell me about you. Let's get to know each other!

Jonathan and Sam

Joey was great to work with for our engagement photos. He was willing to drive over an hour and hike 1.8 miles to the shoot location! He was also very responsive over text and very friendly. Definitely will want to book for our wedding!

Let's create together!


Making art is a collaboration. I don't "take" photos of you: we "make" photos, together. I'm so eager to create and would love for you to join me.
