hello!

JOY PROUTY

MY MISSION

I want to change the culture around the purpose of photographs.


I help people learn how to let go of "perfect" pictures, embody their true worth & ease anxiety through practices of 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

When we choose to become present within our photographs, we become self-healers.

Photographs offer doorways into our
secret rooms within.


Here are a few ways we can work together:
