Photographing a memorial/burial is not something I have done before, I had never been asked. And I don’t consider it to be something that I will do on a regular basis. But when the mother of my good friend Jana called, and asked if I would consider photographing the burial of her father, Navy Commander...
Joy,
Those images our beautiful and priceless, what an honor to be asked to be there. I have photographed two small town firefighters funerals and let me tell you they are emotional as well as giving you a sense of pride for your community and country.
Thank you for sharing.

This is one of the most touching posts that I have read in a long while and your pictures are breathtaking. You did a wonderful job…I know the family will treasure these images for generations to come.

I have followed your blog and have enjoyed pictures of memories from newborn to weddings(including my own daughter’s) but this one was really touching. There are no words to discribe what you captured and your writing was very touching also. Thanks to you and the Family of Navy Commander Joseph Jobe for sharing

Wow. Just wow. Arlington is so incredible… talk about shivers down the spine.
JOy, thank you for your beautiful images of my Grandpa’s service. He was an honorable patriot and I hope we all remember the sacrifices he and his generation made for all of us.

Amazing pictures Joy… as usual :)
Makes me proud to be an American, and extremely grateful for those fighting for our freedom. You captured some great pictures for the family.
Thank you. For those of us who loved Joe and were not able to be there you let us have a glimpse of a special ceremony for a special man. Lots of tears….Lisa aka LDK

I love vacation. I love coming home from vacation, because there is nothing like being home. I always come home happy to be back, knowing that more adventures lie ahead. I love looking back over the pictures from our trip, remembering the fun, and crazy stuff we did. I told Jamie that I hope he...

Joy, these pictures are GORGEOUS! Glad you guys had fun!
I know you don’t know me pretty much at all but I’ve followed your blog and love your work. SOOOOOO, the next time you are in the Seattle/Oregon area we would love a photo shoot of our family. I’ve been looking for someone in this area that I could get to take our photos (if you know of anyone that… that would be great). Anyways, blog about your trips maybe before a little so I know when you are here again… (I don’t know, just an idea) :). You did have good weather and got some wonderful shots.

Great work you have here! :) I love the travel photos especially, and those mountain shots are stunning.. my favourite is the harbour one though, such amazing light!
These truly are breathtaking Joy! They are all so good that I don’t think I can pick a favorite… I bet one of these would look great on our wall so I might need to talk to you about that later. :)
absolutely!!! I’ll trade a pic if you show me how you made your canvas print! :)
