mom and kid hanging out by the lake and smiling, family portrait by 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.
