About the artist.

I’m Helen Joy, a deeply intuitive and curious photographer in NC who specializes in real moments.

Helen Joy, photographer in NC, sits smiling in a creek holding her camera.

I’ve been a professional photographer for two decades and have traveled the world photographing and telling peoples’ stories through images and words.  I am an in constant pursuit of connection in a world where we are so often disconnected.  I’ve realized in the past few years that my superpower as a photographer is the experience.  I will undoubtedly take beautiful portraits in our time together but the experience of being seen and witnessed as you are is where I think the magic in my images comes from.

Leaving the mini sessions to other photographers, I focus on maximum sessions, wanting to spend the time to capture and see much more than the surface.

Contact me to book your session.

I look forward to documenting your meaningful moments.
