Shots of Joy Photography

Hi, I am Joy Jiang!
With a lifestyle approach, I specialize in creating images with storytellings that capture genuine moments of love and connection. In my family sessions, I don't pose clients but instead give out gentle guide to let them be themselves. My sessions are laid-back and adventurous.
​
I am mom to a very active 3 year old boy, and a 12-year-old Rat Terrier, who in spite of his age, is still up for tug of war any time of the day. Before moving to Dallas, I spent 11 years in NYC, and 2 more in Upstate NY, so it feels like a breeze to handle what Texas calls winter.
​
When I am not working on photography, you can find me...​
-
On the ski slope, although still a novice. While I used to be an east coast skier, moving to Texas really opened up opportunities for me to explore the Rockies, which is so much bigger and better!
-
Planning a trip or traveling. Having been to 16 countries, I'm always ready for more. Next on my bucket list: Peru and Morocco!
-
Practicing yoga and meditation. It's been 13 years since I started yoga. As I've grown older and balance more responsibilities on my shoulder, it continues to bring me peace and tranquility whenever I set foot on the mat. Meditation further deepens my practice of mindfulness. I also enjoy books on eastern religions and their influence on mindfulness and spirituality.
