I spent ages and ages looking at my blank computer screen trying to describe myself in the most concise way possible. 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 and after my husband bought me my first DSLR camera for our honeymoon 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 and I can honestly say I’ve never looked back.

My main loves in life are my family (including my three 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).
