I spent ages and ages looking at my blank computer screen trying to describe myself in the best way possible. Everything I wrote was cheesy and making me cringe. I just couldn’t do it.

Eventually I asked a couple of my friends to describe me how they see me instead. So here goes…

I had worked in a customer service role for all of my working life and was starting to feel a bit ‘meh’ about the direction my career was going so decided I needed to make a change.

Growing up I always had a passion for photography. When my husband bought me a swanky camera to take on safari in Kenya the love affair was rekindled.

 When we returned to the UK I decided to study the subject seriously and Emma Joy Photography was launched shortly afterwards.

I can honestly say I’ve never looked back.
My main loves in life are my family (including my two bonkers dogs!), scuba diving, shoes, the way that a big belly laugh fills a room, reality TV (I know I should be ashamed of this but I’m not), tulips, and Christmas films (my favourites are A Wonderful Life & Elf, obviously)
