Joy Studio | Portrait photographer | Wellington

Loved my photo session at Joy Studio. As someone who is very self conscious in front of the camera, I was stunned at the beautiful shots that Jolly managed to get of me. She managed to mould my stiff limbs and unnatural smile into photos that I am very proud of. Thnx Jolly, you are an absolute magician, thorough professional and all round beautiful human being!!!

Just had an incredible session and was very impressed with the finished product. Jolly understood my vision and created the photos perfectly. Very happy to recommend such a talented person. Extremely grateful for the patience with my dog as well.

I never really felt I was photogenic so I would make sure most of my photos were not portraits but taken from a distance. I was initially apprehensive about the portrait photo shoot with Jolly but when I get to her studio, she made me feel at ease right away. I got my makeup done beautifully, a hand massage to help me relax and some delicious canapes. Jolly got me feeling comfortable in front of the camera and made the entire session lots of fun.I couldn’t believe how much I love the photos when I saw them! For the first time, I have portrait photos of myself that I feel proud to show off. They make me feel beautiful. I no longer have the feeling of not looking good enough. Thank you so much Jolly for this amazing experience and photos that I’ll have for a lifetime!

We are so happy with our photos from Joy Studio. Jolly was brilliant and so lovely to deal with. Jolly did my hair and make-up, and I was so pleased with how great it looked. There was even a platter of food to enjoy during our shoot. Jolly has lots of lovely backdrops which suited our colour scheme beautifully. I was a bit nervous about posing, but Jolly was clear with her direction and was also very flexible around my 2 year old doing his own thing! We are so happy with the final result and will treasure the photos for years to come.

I had an amazing experience with Jolly at her Studio in Upper Hutt. I had a Creative Photoshoot and Jolly made me feel very comfortable so the results would be perfect. And they were! I am so happy with the photos. From the beginning Jolly makes you feel great, she had tea and nibbles for me, with had a little chat, help me with my makeup and hair, and all the accessories and poses. She knows how to guide you and make you feel like a real model :) Thank you so much Jolly, for the experience and the pictures. Highly recommended!

Jolly's talented eye combined with her outstanding technical skills made my photoshoot just so incredibly beautiful, I think my heart even skipped a beat when I saw the finished work. She runs her studio with love, kindness and lot's of patience when composing the different looks. I'm so happy with my experience and fully recommend her services. ❤

I had a great time with Jolly for my photograph session. Jolly made me feel quite pampered while doing my hair and make-up. Looking at my photo I couldn't believe its me. Jolly with her immense talent and creativity made us have some incredible photos for our lifetime.

Jolly was amazing and not only made me feel relaxed but also delivered incredible images I'm grateful as the images were so good that one has ended up on my car door. You must experience a shoot with Jolly at Joy Studios. She makes you feel and look beautiful.

Wow! I am still in awe at the photos taken by Jolly! Firstly, it was sooo much fun getting my hair and makeup done! I've never had my hair done like that before and I just love the curls! It's my new favourite look!Then the fun continued with the different outfits and modelling positions. I felt relaxed throughout because of the care and love Jolly took for every photo, allowing the real 'me' to shine through. Thank you so much Jolly! I shouldn't have waited so long to get my portraits done!

I participated in Jolly’s ‘over 50s” project in April . I am totally delighted and happy with the photos taken . Jolly is very professional , warm and caring and is able to bring out the best in her subjects photos . I highly recommend her work and would use her again.
