ORANGE COUNTY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

 

MEET JOY

Creative director by trade, photographer by heart — After over a decade shaping big brands, I created Simply Archived to tell smaller, more personal stories that celebrate the beauty in everyday family life. I bring the same creative philosophy to photography as I do to design: intention, care, and an eye for the details that matter.


When I’m not chasing light or elevating brands, you’ll find me with fresh cookies in the oven and a good book in hand (give me all the fantasy, romance, and thrillers).

 

MY FAMILY — MY EVERYTHING

MEET THE BOYS

I’m wife to a car enthusiast and mom to two race-loving boys — our days run on Formula 1 from sunup to sundown, with the theme song playing on an infinite loop. Life at home is filled with vroom noises and the sweet chaos of growing up too fast.

MEET LEICA

Leica is our VP of False Alarms and the only one in the family named after a camera brand. She's the sole Leica in a Sony household and may not shoot manual, but she’s always set to auto-follow and brightens every room.

WHY ARCHIVING THIS CHAPTER MATTERS

As a photographer, I capture hundreds of thousands of images every year. As a mother, I know how quickly these seasons pass.


The moments that matter most shouldn’t live forgotten in a camera roll. They deserve to be seen, revisited, and shared. Framed on your walls. Gathered in albums. Passed down through generations.


Because photographs become more meaningful when they become part of everyday life.

 

Simply Archived photo is an Orange County Family, Maternity, Newborn and Couples photographer located in Irvine, CA and serving Anaheim, Fullerton, Newport Beach, San Clemente, Yorba Linda, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Laguna Beach.
