IS THIS A GOOD FIT FOR ME?

You Don’t Have to “Feel Photogenic” to Deserve AMAZING Photos...

BOOK YOUR SESSION

YOU'RE A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR A MIDORI JOY SESSION IF YOU...

Woman in her 50s with a gleeful smirk

ARE TIRED OF FILTERS DEFINING WORTH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE WE ALL LOOKED LIKE BARBIE? 

(Ira Levin did… he called it “Stepford Wives.”) 

 

We all have something… for me it’s age spots. And wrinkles. And bulging forehead veins. And REALLY ugly feet. And grey hair. Lots of it. 

And I earned EVERY ONE of those grey hairs. And I'm proud of them! And the age spots? Well, I don't love them. But they're me. 51-year-old me. And I like 51-year-old me. 

I cringe when I see people so young they have no wrinkles or age spots-- feeling the need to filterize their faces... or use botox to make already flawless faces even more flawless... 

 

Together we'll celebrate all of your perfections and imperfections that make you YOU. 

 

Because they're you, and you're beautiful.

HAVE TAKEN THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED...

AT THE AGE OF 42, WITHIN 3 MONTHS I BECAME A FIRST-TIME MOM... AND A WIDOW.

I went from being married to the love of my life, with 2 step kids, a dog, a baby, and a big house on the golf course...

...to moving back home with my mom, driving a borrowed minivan, being told "it's cold out, you might want to bring a jacket"... and starting a brand new "career" path working minimum wage a photo booth in the mall.


That year I learned that Single Moms... well, we're "Other." We're not who you see in your beautiful "perfect" Instagram feed.  

 

Raise your hand if you've ever succumbed to feeling "Othered" or "Not Good Enough" in the hands of social media... or just society in general? 

  • Maybe YOUR family is chosen
  • Or maybe your “kids” have four legs and a tail.
  • Or your gender is self-defined rather than assigned 
  • Maybe your age, or your pants size, or years of being single  are way above average. 

IF YOU TOO DON'T FIT THE MOLD...

Let's show the world how AMAZING you are.

HAVE EVER FELT *TOO DIFFERENT* TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED...

Close your eyes and conjure up the most memorable photos you have... 

I'm guessing they're not the JCPenney Portraits... with the perfect outfits, perfect poses, and perfect smiles. Nor are they the flawless selfies... with artificial filters and fake sparkles. 


They're most likely the ones that show Spark. PERSONALITY. Individual DIFFERENCES.

(Mine is a photo of the time my mom made us (in our teenage years) climb a tree with our musical instruments-- and NOT cool ones: a flute, a violin and a keyboard-- IN PUBLIC... and actually play... IN PUBLIC... right after she chewed me out for forgetting my sheet music. Ooo. The humiliation and rage in that photo. And it sure was DIFFERENT from any photo the "cool" kids had!) 

 

I've got news for you. Yes, you're different. And quirky. You have flaws that make you cringe. And that's what makes you AWESOME. 

Together we'll celebrate all of your perfections and imperfections that make you YOU.  

Because they're you, and you're beautiful.

WANT YOUR PORTRAITS TO REFLECT YOUR *TRUE* STORY...

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT. AND ITS MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE. 

With Midori Joy, a session is so much more than pretty butterfly lighting and striking a pose. 

 

It's a celebration of YOU and what you have to be PROUD OF.

 

We'll take the time-- before, during, and after your session--- to talk. To unpack who you are, what you've overcome. We'll reflect on what brings you JOY, lights you up.


And the photos that result are lasting reminders of your strength. Your beauty. Your joy.
