Capturing Joy one moment at a time

Maternity, Newborn, and Family Photographer in Gilmer, Texas
Hi! I’m Amanda Joy, the heart and creative eye behind New Joy Photography. I am a professional newborn photography and maternity photography studio serving Gilmer, Longview, Tyler, Gladewater, Mt. Pleasant, and East Texas families.
At New Joy, I specialize in capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments from pregnancy glow and brand-new baby snuggles to joyful family portraits that you’ll treasure forever. My goal is to make every session feel relaxed, meaningful, and joyful, just like the memories you want to remember.
Why I Do What I Do
You’re joyful, genuine, and sentimental and your photos should let that shine. I know how overwhelming planning a photo session can feel. Trying to decide what to wear, how to coordinate outfits, and how to keep littles happy during the shoot. I’ve been there, and I design every session to feel stress-free and fun, so your photos reflect real connection, emotion, and beauty.
Photography has been my passion since I was 12, and I’ve continued learning ever since. I’m a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, and I invest in ongoing education in studio safety, posing, and newborn handling so you can trust your session is safe, beautiful, and professional.
