I had my first headshot photoshoot today with Joan... I really did not know what to expect, especially because I've always felt so uncomfortable in front of the camera. Joan's warmth and professionalism was immediately present and I left feeling beautiful and confident. We had more great shots than bad which was surprising to me .. and really a testament to how Joan is able to capture your best you. I think you end up getting more than just photos. 🙂

I had the most wonderful experience with Joan Marie and can't recommend her enough for professional headshots! Joan Marie was immediately responsive to my inquiry and we scheduled an initial phone call very quickly. She explained everything so clearly and helped me feel at ease with the process. At the actual photo shoot Joan Marie's energy was so positive and encouraging (it felt like working with an old friend). She showed me photos along the way and while she was clearly directing the process with an exceptionally professional eye, she was also collaborative and actively soliciting my thoughts throughout. The photos turned out better than I could have imagined and I'm so happy with them!

Loved working with Joan! She makes a point of spending time getting to know you which just makes the whole experience more relaxing and stress-free! I'm so happy with my photos - they look very natural and authentic which was the look I was going for.

I recently worked with Joan Marie Photography, and I couldn’t be more delighted with the experience. From the very start, Joan showed a genuine passion for capturing the right moment, she listened carefully to what I shared while also bringing her own creative ideas to the headshot shoot in the most collaborative way.

Joan Marie was very patient and kind to my two dogs during their 1 st photo shoot. She was able to capture the beauty of my curious pups. Thank you

Patrick Soffientini

I am extremely pleased with the quality of work that I received from Joan! From our very first conversation, I could feel the passion and love she had for her craft. She took the time to personally connect with me beforehand and made me feel remarkably comfortable. The photos from my shoot were genuinely radiant and I couldn't recommend her enough.

Erin Miller

Joan was so great to work with! I hate getting my picture taken and she made me feel so comfortable. I loved the photos and I will definitely be coming back whenever I need to get updated photos.

Shanice Saunders

I booked Joan twice for a professional headshot & brand photoshoot for my business, both photoshoot sessions were amazing! Joan has a genius eye & she’s very passionate about the work she does. She’s professional, she’s kind & she’s extremely creative. Loved working with her & I definitely would book her again. The best photographer in NJ!

Nicole C

We had such an amazing experience with Joan Marie Photography! My almost 2-month-old son recently did a model call for her, and from start to finish, everything was wonderful. Joan is a total baby whisperer (my son passed out mid-shoot!), and it made the whole process stress-free. She’s also a master of her craft — the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be using her again for future photos!

If you want photos you’ll treasure forever, you can stop searching… Joan is the right photographer and the best decision you’ll ever make. (At least for us it was!) I reached out to Joan completely out of the blue asking for a whole lot of things - headshots, baby photos, family photos, and she was prompt, kind, and rose to the occasion with grace. Joan is the most caring photographer I have worked with for a family shoot and I have met and worked with quite a few. Not only is she lovely inside and out but her shots speak for themselves. I mean…look at them. Her work is absolutely stunning. PERIOD. To find an artist so good at what she does and ALSO so good at making her customers feel taken care of is a rare find. This family loves you, thank you for making us look so DAMN good and making us (me) feel the same way. I’m a control freak with a whole lot of insecurities and baggage and Joan….is simply the best. Thank you for dealing with our crazy, MY crazy. Thank you for your overwhelming patience. Thank you for being you. Souls Captured Forever. ❤️ Until next time.
