A few weeks ago, I took an Energising Flow class at Flow State Hove while traveling. It was exactly what my body and spirit needed. The teacher mentioned she’d been manifesting more joy into her life and was thrilled that I had manifested into her class. A fellow student laughed and said I was probably on her Pinterest board.

That moment reminded me what my own name means, spelled correctly if you will. Joy. A word with endless synonyms, all pointing toward light. I didn’t always embrace it, especially during my teenage years when I journaled in the dark and forgot that there was always light waiting at the end of the tunnel.

Now I see it as my guide. Joy is not something fragile or childish. It’s an act of unwavering sense of power despite all the chaos that can surround us.

For the rest of the year, I’m leaning into that truth. I’m shaping my portfolio and my creative collaborations to reflect more connection, more color, and more understanding. Whether I’m photographing fashion campaigns, personal brands, or editorial projects here in Austin, my work is about capturing the spark that makes someone feel seen again.

As an Austin fashion photographer and brand photographer, I create vibrant, emotionally intelligent imagery that speaks to both people and purpose. My work lives where art direction meets energy, where confidence and imagination coexist. I love partnering with advertising agencies and visionary brands who want visuals that feel alive, intentional, and unforgettable.

Because photography is more than a service. It’s a language of joy, and I plan to keep speaking it fluently.

There’s a moment when the work you’ve been building starts to feel… bigger. Bolder. More aligned. 

You’ve evolved. 

Your energy has changed. 

So why are your photos still stuck in a version of you that no longer fits?

If your visuals don’t match your vision, they’re holding you back.

See this as achieving accuracy. The photography on your website and social media should reflect the energy you exude now and who you want to be, and not the person you were in 2020. 

And when your brand is growing, you don’t have time for photos that whisper through your curled shoulders when you’re ready to roar with an open heart.

Take this as a sign to be seen clearly, confidently, and creatively.

I create editorial photography that meets your 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, etc version of yourself. I create the kind of portraits that feel like your projection of who you are dressed in couture. 

Colorful. 

Genuine. 

Electric.
My work is designed to showcase the version of you that’s been blooming (and is continuing to!).

So when you’re ready to look like the professional you already are, I’m here.

Reach me here to show the world what your next chapter really looks like.

Being Filipino taught me the power of community. Of listening deeply when the world gets noisy. 

And celebrating what you have: the people in your life in their full, vibrant selves.

That’s what fuels my work as a fashion branding photographer in Austin: seeing the layers of who someone is. 

Their energy. Their genuine softness. Their edge.

Because when I witness someone’s realness, I can’t help but want the world to see it too.

Your branding photography should make people feel who you are, not just see you.

It should reflect motion even when you’re standing still. It should speak louder than anyone’s perception of you.

That’s what I create: editorial brand photography in full color, for the self-aware and unconventional.

If you’re tired of beige-walled basics and soulless “branding,” come find me. I’m the photographer you call when you’re ready to turn your story into a modern fairytale that’s vibrant in color, fashion, and story.

This is editorial storytelling for the bold for the artists, outside-of-the-box thinkers, and the entrepreneurs who zig when everyone else wants to zag.
