Creative Strategist & Mentor for Artists

hello!

JOY PROUTY

on the
practice of presence as an art form:

My work is centered around shifting what our culture deems "worthy" of being preserved into art.

I help people learn
how to let go of "perfect" pictures to embrace emotional & embodied presence.

The less shame enters into our experiences with photographs, the more compassion
we invite into our WHOLE lives.

Here are a few ways we can work together:

Authentic Content Creation Strategy
(for Visionaries)

03.

I create individualized
strategy for clarifying & amplifying
your AUTHENTIC VOICE!

This is for YOU if...

- You are doing meaningful work
but feel overwhelmed/stuck as to how to articulate that depth into sharable posts, web copy or sales strategies.

-You long for unique brand language that feels AUTHENTIC (rather than trendy) & a plan for content creation that feels EASEFUL.

-You want to embrace
VULNERABILITY but need a guide to help you navigate the uncertainty of how/what to share.

I don't just create content for you,
I work with you deeply to coax out your true inner voice. We then pull from WHAT LIGHTS YOU UP to build a plan for the artistic expression of YOU.

I offer several levels of services...
from one-time audience audits
or brand scriptwriting to
Monthly Content Creation Memberships!

(For any level of visionary!)

"Joy saw me.
She completely saw me and I had never felt more beautiful .

When I look back on the film from our session, I see how I showed up for myself. I remember I am so much braver than I feel inside my head. Joy got me out of my head and into my body. I'm deeply grateful."

My book is not just for mothers...

Practicing Presence

Your camera is not a distraction- it is your portal to presence.

As a mother, life often feels like it is passing by in a blur.
You take countless pictures trying to freeze time and capture the memories, but in looking back find you barely even remember experiencing the moments. But what if there were a way to preserve your family's story while also becoming fully present within it?

By combining the science of memory preservation with photography principles, you'll learn how to exit survival mode and enter the present moment through the photos you're already taking.
