Carisa Joy

Owner & Photographer

Hi! I’m an Arizona-based portrait and dance photographer with over 20 years of experience capturing movement, milestones, and memories. I spent two decades working with Liz Walters at Walters Photographic, specializing in school portraits, dance studios, and youth sports across Arizona.

Working closely with Liz and the Walters Photographic team shaped my passion for storytelling through photography—especially when it comes to working with kids, performers, and families. I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to bring out authentic expressions, highlight natural movement, and create a relaxed environment where people feel confident and seen.

Whether it’s a dancer mid-leap, a kindergarten smile, or a senior portrait marking a big milestone, I take pride in delivering timeless, high-quality images that families treasure for years to come.

If you're looking for someone with experience, patience, and a creative eye, I’d love to help you capture your moment!

PHOTOGRAPHER & Photographer ASSISTANT

I'm an Arizona native with a deep love for the outdoors and open roads. My love for photography started as a kid, pointing my camera at every beautiful plant, animal and landscape i sa. Then in high school, i found a love capturing moments of my best friend, a dancer, in motion. That experience sparked a lasting appreciation for movement, emotion, and storytelling through the lens. Whether it's a spontaneous road trip across the desert or a quiet hike in the mountains, I find inspiration in natural light, human connection, and the raw beauty of everyday life.

Photographer

I'm a Nebraska native with a passion for photography in all its forms—though I have a special love for automotive photography. Whether it's capturing the details of a classic car, the energy of a live moment, or the quiet presence of my dog Lucee, I enjoy exploring a wide variety of subjects through my lens. For me, photography is about telling real stories, finding beauty in unexpected places, and connecting with the world in an authentic way.
