Nicky Joy, 31 — Orange County, CA

Life has taken me down many different paths, each one an adventure of its own — obstetric nursing, postpartum doula care and permanent makeup. However, through every chapter, photography has remained my constant — my creative outlet, my way of capturing love, magic, light, telling stories without words.

Now, I create images that feel like art to me — feminine, dreamy, full of light and love. Capturing love and women in their truest form, fills me with joy — revealing their softness, their strength, their glow, their connection. Whether it’s intimate portraits, love stories, women creating life, I want every photo to hold a little bit of magic.

Now that you have found me, I am so happy you’re here — I hope you enjoy seeing the world through my eyes.
