Artist

Joy joined her fathers business, Burnie Batchelor Studio in 1985 and has never looked back.  She pioneered many products and services still offered today and is now photographing the fourth generation of clients

Joy has attained the highest levels of accomplishment in the photographic community, earning the Master Photographic Craftsman degree and becoming a Certified Professional Photographer, a designation held by fewer than 4% of imaging professionals world wide.

She has also received many awards at the regional. state, and national levels for her photographic and artistic work, as well as her service to the industry and her local community.

The studio today is very busy and diverse.  

First you find it full of children's clothes because Shutterbugs Boutique is located here. This business started by Joy, is managed by she and her daughter Christen Batchelor Whitehead.  They carry some of the best designers in children's clothing and you will find everything from bows to socks and everything in between. 

Second, we have a fully landscaped garden area that is immaculately maintained by season.  You only need to step right outside the front door for outdoor portraits.

Lastly, Joy loves her craft of creating beautiful, heirloom images of babies, children, and families. Artistic paintings have become a passion and creating a portrait of incredible beauty that you will treasure for a lifetime.
