Sedona Family Photographer

A celebration of your wild, beautiful story.

There’s a kind of magic in simply being together, no distractions, no hustle. Just connection, love, and the little in-between moments that make your family yours. These portraits are about that. About you and this exact season of life.

Family portraits in Sedona aren’t about stiff poses or matching outfits. They’re about presence. About kicking off your shoes, chasing the light, and letting your kids be wild while the red rocks echo with laughter. It’s about capturing the real stuff, the wind in your hair, the way your child looks at you, the joy in your footsteps.

This is more than a photo session, it’s part memory, part adventure.
A chance to soak in the beauty of Sedona’s landscape while anchoring yourself in what matters most.
A way to pause time and remember the heart of your family, just as you are.

We’ll explore somewhere stunning. We’ll take our time. You’ll be in a space where there’s no need to be perfect, just present. No pressure, simple posing, and moments as they unfold naturally.

Whether you’re visiting Sedona for the first time or it’s a place you call home, let’s create something lasting. A little piece of your family’s story, set against the timeless beauty of the desert.

Let’s capture magic!

Hey! I’m Hillary Joy

I’ve been photographing families for more than 15 years, ever since I first picked up a camera. One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing families return and witnessing how they grow and change over the years. Time passes so quickly, and I deeply believe in the value of preserving these moments! I only wish I had more photos of my own family from when we were growing up.

Love From Past Clients

Gimbel Family

“When we were planning our family trip to Arizona, my sister suggested we get updated family portraits taken. That felt like a difficult task until I found Hillary and Joy & Wander Photography. Her website made it easy to book the date we wanted online, and she provided fantastic suggestions, given that we were unfamiliar with the area. The time with her was comfortable, and the photos turned out AMAZING! She even gave us some landscape photos. Could not be more pleased and highly recommend!!”

Lowther Family

“Hillary is wonderful to work with- and the pictures she took are beautiful! She is great at communication and was even kind enough to help me feel confident in the pictures. She was so kind in her emails and meeting that it felt like a friend was taking our pictures. Highly recommend!”

OH Family

“We had such a wonderful experience with Hillary! She photographed our family of nine and somehow managed to capture everyone beautifully — no small feat! Hillary was so patient, kind, and easy to work with throughout the entire session. She went above and beyond, even providing us with more photos than expected, and every single one turned out stunning. We’re so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”

– Dorothea Lange
