EXCELLENT Based on 73 reviews Xingyuan Zhao2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Joan! She captured my pets personalities perfectly, from the soft, quiet moments to the silly, playful ones. Every photo felt like a little story, and the final results were even more beautiful than I imagined. Joan was warm, patient, and made the whole session fun and relaxed (for both humans and pets!). These are memories I’ll treasure forever. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a pet photographer who truly gets it. Very easy to work with and clean and professional studio too. Her website is also easy to navigate, the whole process was just so smooth! Thank you again for turning their birthday shoot into something magical!

I emailed her on a Thursday afternoon for headshots to be used in a professional job announcement. Minutes later, she responded and provided the different packages and her availability. I settled on a package, and she accommodated my availability for the shoot to take place the next day. She then emailed me a detailed overview of what to wear and how to determine what colors would complement my skin tone. I followed her suggestions in selecting what to wear. I arrived for my appointment, and she greeted me with a smile. I entered her studio and was immediately struck by the professional yet welcoming atmosphere, with gentle, soft music playing in the background. This environment made me feel at ease and comfortable. She explained her plan and asked me what type of image I wanted to reflect in my photo, and I told her that I was welcoming and confident. She then gave me options of available backgrounds and poses and began to walk me through the shoot. She snapped many photos in different poses and walked me through each as I selected the ones I wanted her to touch up. She asked me how quickly I needed the images, and I told her by the middle of the following week. To my surprise, before the weekend ended, I was startled to find an email from her with the pictures. Oh my God, was I pleased with the results? I could hardly believe the images were of me! They were professional; my image conveyed dignity, strength, poise, confidence, and warmth, everything I wanted to communicate in the job announcement. My daughters and wife were equally pleased with the photos. Please consult with Joan Marie for all of your photo needs. She is the consummate professional, knows what she is doing and loves what she does, and her passion for making you look good in your photo is truly inspiring. Her dedication and commitment to her craft will undoubtedly provide you with some of the best images of yourself that you will ever have.

And her work speaks for itself. Joan took my youngest’s newborn pictures and the images are incredible. She made it a very warm and fun experience. So of course she was my only choice when I needed a head shot taken recently. Her range and talent are incredible and I love the new space. Chriszia Fuentes2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I heard about Joan through a friend of mine who gave her such rave reviews. Ive never done a formal photoshoot before aside from our wedding so I was a bit stressed but after talking to Joan over the phone, my stress level went down by half. Whether it was just how she described things or maybe its one of her many talents but she has a way to just make you comfortable. I asked if she could meet my daughter first before the shoot because my daughter can be a hit or miss (mostly miss) on pictures and Joan was more than happy to accommodate me and my daughter. She was so lovely to her and even took some pictures at her studio so that my daughter can get used to the camera. I dont even know what she did because my daughter was so comfortable in front of the camera that you’d think she does it all the time. She also offered to come over our house to meet our dog so that he would get used to her and surprisingly my dog took a liking to her that on the day of the photoshoot he didnt even bark when she got to our house. It was like she comes over regularly. Overall, it was so wonderful working with Joan and Im glad that my first experience on something like this turned out great. She has a way to make you feel comfortable even if you are not used to be in front of the camera. She makes the whole experience stress free and captures moments that are real and reflects where you are in your life. She is a true artist and a wonderful photographer and I cant wait to work with her again. Will Huegel2025-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience in the studio! Joan was professional, made me feel at ease, and captured amazing headshots as part of her Fresh Face Friday promo. Highly recommend! Kimberly Feder2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a kids personality shoot at Small Town Play Cafe and had the best time! Joan was so patient with my very hesitant toddler, who did not want to sit in front of the camera. She kept it light & fun and was able to capture some amazing shots that we can’t wait to frame! Highly recommend hiring her for all your family photo needs 😊 Josh Langweil2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fun session with Joan roaming around Morristown. Made me feel comfortable, and the photos came out fantastic! Rosemary DiBattista2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with the headshots Joan took for my new author photo. She's warm and personable; our sitting was fun and relaxed, and the proofs were so good I had trouble choosing a favorite. I recommend her highly! Carmella Capitano2025-01-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was such an enjoyable visit with my 2 year old. My daughter cooperated and felt really comfortable. Jon Dario2024-09-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joan is AMAZING! First, the obvious - her product is truly great. The photos she took turned out to be extremely natural looking but also tremendously flattering. She captured the true essence of my personality. How did she do it? By making me feel really comfortable with the process. She talked me through everything she was thinking and everything she was doing. She had initial ideas to start with but then also experimented along the way. I could not be more pleased with the process and with the result.
