Hertfordshire PhotographerThe Visual Storyteller
Hi I'm Joanne - The Visual Storyteller
I am a professional maternity, newborn, family, brand, event and wedding photographer from Hertfordshire. I have a photography studio in Hertford and live with my husband and two young children.
I began my photography career shooting weddings in 2011. I still love the magic and beauty of this special day, and there are some stunning wedding venues locally that have history and wow factor. A few of my favourite wedding venues local to Hertford
are Fanhams Hall and Hanbury Manor
which both have incredible grounds for reception photos. As time has gone on, I have found these some of my favourite locations for photoshoots of couples and families too.
My weddings led to other events. Within a year or two, I started getting return customers who were now wanting maternity, newborn, birthday parties and annual studio photographs.
I have loved watching my clients families grow, and with it my photography business. I have taken numerous professional training courses with some of the best photographers from the UK, Russia and Canada. My extensive training in newborn photography
has covered everything from using natural light and studio lighting to wrapping, props, and most importantly newborn safety.
In 2018 after 7 years of mainly working on location and lifestyle shoots in clients homes I opened Joanne Lewis Photography Studio in Hertford, where I mainly shoot maternity, newborns, families and headshots. On location I enjoy capturing families during the beautiful changing English seasons. I'm particularly love relaxed family walks through the forest with bluebells in the spring, and falling leaves in the Autumn. Recently I have been shooting lots more pets and dancers on location too. I shoot lifestyle, location and events throughout Hertfordshire, Essex, London and Cambridge, with local studio clients coming from Ware, Bishops Stortford, Stansted, Harlow, Hoddesdon, Buntingford, Welwyn Garden City, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Stevenage.
I have a passion for telling stories through photography. In particular I specialise in creating magical images that blur the lines of our dreams and reality, often using light or composites to bring love and joy. Let me join you for a moment in time, and capture beautiful images that let your individuality and personality shine through.
Things to know
To me, life is a journey, it's about the everyday things that make us who we are, and the memories we will cherish in years to come.
I want to give you the gift of your story, that can be looked at and shared with your family as they grow and look back at those happy times you had together. Because there’s nothing more important than family!
