ABOUT VANESSA

Hi!! I'm so glad you're here. I'm Vanessa Joy, a photographed based in St. Louis and the Bay Area.

I've loved photography nearly all my life-- I received my first camera when I was six--it was a pink point-and-shoot, and it was everything I dreamed of. I took it with me everywhere, always wanting to capture life's greatest moments. Not much has changed since, with the exception of a major update to my equipment ;)

I aim for my sessions to contain the same feelings of bliss I had when I was six years old. Getting your picture taken should not be a stressful process-- it should be exciting! You should feel beautiful & empowered. I aim to do just that. I'm your ultimate hype-woman and supporter, and I want you to feel like a rock star after our session. My shoots are laid back, authentic, and filled with lots of laughter. Head on over to my portfolio to see some of my work or to the Inquire page to schedule your session.

I can't wait to meet you!
