Joey is an expert at her craft and knows how to put those that are camera shy at ease. Had so much fun playing at the beach during our shoot!

I hired Joey to do a family shoot for me. Three generations--my sister and me, my mom, my 93 year old grandmother--and she made us all look lovely! I appreciated her enthusiasm, how she made us smile and laugh, even though we were a bit uncomfortable and not used to posing. She also captured some really great candids, including one of my mom and grandma that I have framed now and will always treasure. She was really responsive about editing the photos using black and white and sepia to catch different tones. And, her price is crazy reasonable. I highly recommend Joey Paynter Photography!!! More...

Joey did a pre-engagement shoot for us as well as captured our engagement! Â I brought her along in a helicopter ride where I proposed to my fiance over Newport Beach! Â I had a friend write, "Will you marry me?" in the sand. Â We flew over and she captured the moments of me asking as well as the words in the sand! Â She also did a shoot on the tarmac for us that was awesome! Â Joey is great at capturing special moments! More...

Joey captured the most amazing dance stills of an improvised piece I recently performed. I have never had anyone photograph a moment and backdrop the way that Joey did when she worked for me. Â The background, the light, the poses, and the emotion of the moments were all so vividly captured. Â I would highly recommend Joey for any photo shoot! Â She is fantastic! Â I hope I have the opportunity to hire her again soon! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Hands down, it's the people I meet. I feel so fortunate to work in a field that allows me the opportunity to connect with so many different people from so many different backgrounds. I truly feel honored to add a splash of joy to someone's life through capturing moments that will last.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I traveled the world and saw the immense joy that pictures brought to those who crossed my path no matter the class, lifestyle, race, or religion. When I returned, I knew I wanted to offer this on a regular basis because truth be told, it also fills me with a deep joy- I've been told that I have a smile on my face every time I do a shoot.
Why should our clients choose you?
You should choose me if you like my style. There are many talented photographers and it just comes down to you feeling a connection and liking how that photographer sees the world. I would hope you'd choose me because I have an ability to connect with all people and find ways to bring out the beauty that is in every moment. Simply put, you should choose me because you you not only my work, but also who I am behind the camera.
