Joy is truly a master of her craft and the best newborn photographer to work with!! We first had the pleasure to work with her when our daughter was born in 2021. She is truly the baby whisperer and takes the most precious newborn and family photos. She really takes her time to prepare you beforehand on what to expect and works with you to understand your vision for the photos. During the session she is so caring to both the baby and parents' needs. She is gentle and oh so patient! We loved her so much we had to use her again when our son was born this year in 2025. She never disappoints and delivered the most beautiful newborn and family photos we could ask for. We will cherish these beautiful memories forever and are grateful to Joy for making both special milestones such a stress free and enjoyable experience! I cannot recommend her enough!! read more

It was such a pleasure to work with Joy on our newborn's photoshoot, and when I said "work with," I actually meant Joy single-handedly working on our baby flawlessly while my husband and I were just chilling on the studio sofa. From calming the baby to dressing/undressing to posing to changing diapers, Joy truly showed her expertise in the field. Yep, she didn't even need us to lift a finger. We loved the experience and the photos came out perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer! read more

After doing so much research on finding a good newborn photographer, i'm so grateful I came across Joy! I was immediately smitten with her work and reached out to her right before my little one was born. She was so kind and professional while answering all my questions about the process along with what to expect. We had my little girl photographed at 6 days old and I can't begin to tell you how blown away I was at her work. She is so incredibly patient, talented and such a natural with babies. She knew how to soothe my baby and get her into the perfect poses and positions for all the sets. I loved all the sets and variety of "looks" she captured. They are all so incredibly adorable! I think her diverse style options and looks is truly what distinguishes her from other newborn photographers. If you are looking for an amazing and talented newborn photographer, I would look no further! She will capture your tiny newborn at such a sweet time to cherish forever. I can't imagine going to anyone else when we have our next child! read more

I was referred to Joy by a friend. It took me little time to decide to go with Joy for my son's newborn photos after looking at her Instagram portfolio. That was last summer and I was amazed by how great she was with babies. My son is my second child and I can assure you she had the experience to handle newborns and the photos turned out just what I needed. One year from then, I booked her for my son's cake smash session. The photos again turned out pretty darn cute. Photos below. read more

As first time parents having photos of our baby was so important to us. Due to the pandemic, newborn photography was not offered at the hospital so we're glad we found Joy to help capture this stage of our baby's life. Joy was a baby whisperer..we were nervous for her when she was taking diaper-less photos. She somehow made it look so effortless and easy managing a newborn. She was patient, professional and very experienced. There was plenty of props and accessories to choose from and we loved the photos we received. read more

Joy is an amazing photographer for newborn photoshoot. We recently got photoshoot done for our newborn baby girl from Joy, and she was just amazing. She is very calm and patient while clicking. She never rushed us to complete the photoshoot quick. Gave us ample of time to calm our newborn as well as our 4 yeasrs old daughter for sibling pictures. She even delivered the picture before promised time and they are just beautiful. I would highly recommend her. read more

Where do I start? Joy was such a sweetheart and so hospitable when I first arrived. As a new mom recovering from postpartum, she knew carrying a carseat was heavy and helped me get my baby into her house. I've never worked with a newborn photographer so I cant compare but Joy was beyond more experienced and prepared than I imagined for being a photographer that was trying to build her portfolio. She was well prepared with baby wipes, a heater, and a baby shusher that made the session go by so smooth. What I love about Joy is that she is super patient when it came to our session. That's what makes an outstanding baby photographer! She made sure there was time to feed and change my newborn during the session - making sure that the baby was happy before we continued onto any further poses. I highly recommend taking your newborn/baby here if you need baby pics! She also does puppies/dogs and family portraits as well Thank you so much for your patience and the wonderful and creative photos! read more

Joy capture these precious photos of my newborn and I love every single one! I never felt rushed as she really took her time to get each pose. Baby was always posed in a safe way. She has a huge selection of wraps with backdrops and other various props. You are free to choose the colors and accessories but for the most part I trusted in her judgment to get a variety of cute different poses. I pretty much just sat back, relaxed and she took care of everything else. All items are sanitize and cleaned after each session so no need to worry about germies with your newborn. You will not be disappointed if you invest in Joy to capture these professional artwork photos of your little one. Thank you Joy, i will cherish these photos forever! read more

Joy is the best! She took photos of my 3 month old baby and she was so open and more than happy to use as many props as I wanted. Other places were not really wanting to use props since he was already 3 months and said he would be fussy. Joy didn't care, she didn't give me limits to the props and she even edited one of my photos and added a beautiful background on my baby. She was hands on with my baby and wasn't scared to hold him or calm him when he was crying. Her prices are unbeatable based on the other photographers that quoted me. I can't wait to go back when my son is 1 year old since she also does cake smash photos! These photos I will cherish forever and it's all thanks to her! I definitely recommend checking her out, she's awesome! read more

Amazing photographer! Joy was very flexible, careful, and patient with my newborn. She fed my baby and changed his diaper when he pooped. In the 3 hour shoot that I chose, we went through so many poses and outfits. There was no real limit other than time and how the baby was doing. Thankfully for me, my newborn was sleeping most of the time and I ended up with 300+ unedited photos to chose from! Her span of props and costumes is huge and utterly cute! I highly recommend her for any newborn shoot. read more

I've did a lot of searches and decided to go with Joy for my maternity photo shoots. With the care and professionalism with infant photos, I found it reliable to go with her. She is also fluent in mandarin and English, made it easier to express the style and poses for the photos. Before the shooting date, she communicated with me about what to expect and what to prepare. She took my ideas and shared with me how certain photos will be done. She helped me prepared my dresses and fixed my horrible makeup and hair (been in my pjs for the whole year since Covid) Her studio is in a huge house in Arcadia. Everything was already setup when I arrived. She checked our temperatures and sanitized all the props we used. The whole session took around 3 hours. I changed and 3 gowns and 2 outfits. I was expecting the photos to be fantastic since I'm in my 9month pregnancy with huge belly and all swollen up body. I was really surprised on how nature and pretty the photos turned out. I would definitely recommend Joy and will be back with my infant and family photos. read more

We had a great experience at Joy's photo session. It was one hour long. On top of being a professional photographer, she is very experienced at handling all sorts of chaotic situation you may have with baby. She provided white noise as we stepping into the studio and baby calmed down immediately. You can tell she is really enjoying the time spending with baby. During our session, our baby smiled a lot which makes the outcome of photos much better. The whole one hour photo session was quick quiet and smooth. I am surprised with how she is able ti get some many photos with baby in just one hour. Definitely will refer her to my friends. read more

We had a very good experience with Joy. We needed a newborn photographer and she was gracious enough to squeeze us into her schedule fairly quickly . She was great with our little girl , able to soothe her and super patient. She was able to get some really superb shots, even with our colicky baby which really surprised us. Very good with kids obviously . Also impressed with the editing , professional job through and through. I'd also like to mention she has alot of really great props in her studio . We would recommend Joy, and if we are ever able to have a party again in this new COVID world, we would certainly hire her for future events such as birthdays. read more

Loved how she took great care of our baby. Very clean & professional! Loved our pictures, thank you very much.

Joy is the baby whisperer! Posing babies is a lot of work, but what was estimated to be a 3 hour photoshoot only took 2 hours. Photography was indoors but she collected temperatures from us, minimized amount of people that could go with us, and had her mask on the whole time. She also immediately put any used linens/outfits into the hamper to be laundered. She's so pleasant to work with and I trusted her to handle my newborn twins. read more

Great experience working with Joy. One of the best experiences I've ever had with a photographer! When we arrived at the session, Joy was so patient with our little one and with all of us! She gave us plenty of time to calm our baby when needed. Even when our daughter started to wake up, Joy knew all the techniques to get her back to sleep! Her pictures turned out beautifully. We are in love with the pictures we received. I also loved that she had tons of outfit options for the photoshoot. I highly recommend Joy for all of your family photography needs! read more
