Managing Editor Laura Snyder of NFocus Magazine is quoted  

​

"Joy has done freelance photography for NFocus since

​the magazine launched in June 2010.   Her work is beautiful !

Joy has a great eye and is always very conscientious about submitting only the highest quality work to us. Her professionalism is impeccable, and because she is also very kind and personable, she puts everyone around her at ease. I am always proud to have her represent the magazine at events we cover, most of which are exclusive, black tie events, where she must engage with Louisville's community and political leaders on behalf of NFocus.  She is as skilled with people as she is with her camera."
