After 18 years as an educator (and 10.5 years as mom to my Twinkles), I've learned that kids need a little time, a little patience, and a little room to run. And, those grownups? They just need a reminder that it's okay to play. Rebecca mentioned that her family's session with me "was the first time in a really long time [she] actually played with [her] kids without worrying about a to-do list."
Gina was fabulous to work with. She was flexible about scheduling our time together, which was so helpful as a first-time mom only one month postpartum! The session was relaxed and friendly and put us all at ease. She was calm in the face of sleep-deprived new parents, a crying baby, and two overeager pups!.
All collections reflect a variety of both print and digital images. All physical photographs are professionally printed on archival quality fine art pearl paper, which allows for beautiful depth of both color and contrast. Do you want to remember the movements and sounds of your family life? Adding a family video to your in-home family portrait session is the perfect answer.
Don't be shy. Take a minute to say hey and we'll get back to you faster than a herd of turtles! If you're interested in more information about session offerings, we've got the answers to all your questions. Even though our photography studio might be based out of Nyack, NY, we happily travel. So, reach out & while you're waiting, check out our portfolio and print shop.
As a photographer, it's easy to focus solely on photographing my clients and my family. But, almost two years ago, a mentor reminded me of the importance of photographing something just for me. She reminded me that I need to be able to give voice to my own creativity and make time to see it through.

Gina is an amazing photographer! We were so pleased with the portfolio of photos that she took of our family several years ago that we asked her to do our family pictures again recently. During our shoot, we walked around and just had fun as she took various family and playful shots. Gina has a great talent for capturing natural moments with just the perfect light. We had dozens of beautiful photos of our family - a real variety of images with unique scenery.

Gina was a delight to work with. She did an in-studio photo session for me. I needed headshots, but I didn't want traditional pictures. Gina listened and translated my hopes into lovely casual images that I have been proud to use for work. She made the whole process very comfortable - from communication and scheduling to the session itself, she was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Joy Alexander Photography.

Simply amazing with three kids under 5 we had a blast. Gina embraced my boys creativity and mischievous personality traits allowing them to be who they naturally are.
In my book Gina is a Rockstar a bit nervous about the kids not standing still or capturing "the best " shots she got down to their level and let them just be in turn capturing more then giggles. Our family just found our personal photographer. What an experience everyone walked away with smiles. Thanks Joy Alexander photography for capturing memories that will last a lifetime.
