MY NAME IS JOANNE

I am a bubbly, matcha drinking girl from the beautiful golden state of California. Photography started off as a hobby and so quickly became my passion. As a child, I grew up so motivated by my imagination and art. I began to start writing my own poems, I can’t say they were any good, but it brought me a sense of freedom. This love for art only intensified as life went on. Here I am today, having the opportunity to turn peoples story into art. You see, a picture is more than just the result of clicking a button on a camera. When you see a picture, it is art expressed in a different form than

just a painting on a canvas —You are looking at a moment paused in time. That moment is significant. That moment is full of feelings and emotions you were experiencing at that time: excitement, love, gratefulness, and maybe even a bit of nervousness. Shakespeare says that the beauty of a rose begins on the inside. I dive into the inner intimate parts of your story and let the beauty of your story be developed through film. I have the privilege of tagging along on your journey to capture this moment in your narrative that is timeless and incomparable.
