kim + jay – tulum, mexico wedding


I can’t express how happy I am that I had the Joielala team at my wedding.   When I received my wedding pictures I could not have been happier! I watched the slideshow that was put together by them over and over as I literally was reliving my wedding day through the pictures!! They captured all of my most favorite details. They could not have done a better job!!  They were so easy to work with and they really paid attention to what we wanted. They have a real creative eye that really shows in our pictures! I wish the Joielala team nothing but success and I am so thankful to have had them as part of my big day!!!

“Working with Joielala for our very special, yet very personal “big day” was absolutely amazing.  We had a small, intimate wedding and we really wanted to work with vendors with whom we felt comfortable and who we knew would really capture the best day of our lives, just as it was. They were able to catch so many beautiful moments and got every little detail on camera (which as any bride knows, there is a ton of effort put into!).  They completely understood the unique vibe of our wedding, and shot the photos in a way that totally captured it.  We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with such amazing talent, and although initially I didn’t want to “invest” in a photographer, after seeing the photos, I now completely understand why people do!!  I would recommend Joielala to anyone…whether it’s for a wedding, family portrait, lifestyle shoot, boudoir, pet photography…I will definitely be using them for all of my life’s special moments!!”

“One of the best decisions my husband and I made in our wedding planning process was to hire Taryn and Shelby as our photographers.  Throughout the year of planning, they were so helpful, responsive and shot an amazing engagement session for us.  They were amazingly easy to work with, flexible and of course talented!  The photos are the one thing that lasts when the cake has been eaten, dancing is over and guests have gone home, so I couldn’t be happier that we had the photographers we did.  The pictures are amazing and I hope to continue to use them in the future to capture all the other life events that will transpire!  We came out of the whole thing with gorgeous photos, a great experience and new friends!  xoxo”

katie – lifestyle shoot


“When I arrived to meet with Taryn and Shelby of Joielala Photographie on the day of my first ever professional shoot, arms full of my fondest closet threads, I had no idea what was in store for me the rest of the day….I met with them a month prior to setting a date to brainstorm and give/get direction about what I’d like out of my shoot. I wanted lifestyle portraits to capture a point in my life that I truly felt was unlike any other so far. I wanted to remember and cherish my “”year 23” long after the little things were forgotten. My overall experience with Taryn and Shelby that day was definitely one that won’t be easy to forget. I have a lot of admiration for the work that Joielala does. The way they capture is truly a gift. Looking at the shots from that day helped me see myself through a different lens, one that I had never seen myself through before…Thank you both again for such an amazing experience. I hope to work with Joielala again in the near future!”

“When my girlfriend approached me about doing a photo shoot together I immediately thought, oh gosh not another cheesy glamour shot!  However, being the researcher that I am, I got online and really delve into the world of boudoir photography.  To my pleasant surprise I came across joielala’s website and the rest was easy! I found Taryn and Shelby’s boudoir work to be elegant, classy, sexy and timeless all rolled into one.  I have to say, doing my boudoir shoot with a friend was awesome! Preparing for the shoot we went shopping for lingerie and props, got our make up done and during we enjoyed some champagne and danced around to Amy Winehouse.  Taryn and Shelby were just as excited as we were and SO easy to work with! Needless to say my boyfriend and my girlfriend’s husband were both ecstatic about their little black boudoir books, as we like to call them.  Looking back I am so glad I did this – I think EVERY woman should have timeless, sexy photos of her youth to look back on later in life!”

“We had the MOST AMAZING weekend!! It was such a pleasure to have met you. You two are the cutest!! And it was awesome to have had the chance to work with you! You guys were so professional, easy going, creative, and made it easy to feel comfortable in front of your cameras. Some of my favorite moments of the day were seeing you two being so excited about the shots you were taking and the work you were doing. I know you captured some great memories for us! And we really can’t thank you enough for that!!”


karrie – boudoir/lifestyle

“From the start of my photoshoot with joielala, I was treated like a real-life glam model. I felt beautiful throughout the process- from an amazing makeup artist glamming me up to the gorgeous backgrounds scouted by the girls. Also, a lot of that had to do with how relaxed Taryn and Shelby made me feel. Always relaxed, always confident.  The end results were gasp-worthy, breathtaking photos I couldn’t wait to show off.”


miss a – boudoir
“I am usually the more shy, reserved type so I was hesitant to do this, but it didn’t take me long to feel totally comfortable and have an amazing time with my boudoir shoot.  All I can say is that it was FUN!  And I felt so at ease with Taryn and Shelby, they did an amazing job!  Thank you!”


miss z – boudoir

“For quite some time now, my BFF & I have been talking about how we would love to do a professional photo shoot – while we are still at our “young” age and to one day look back on and say, “Hey, I definitely had it going on in my day.” [Jokes!] And finally, along came an opportunity to do so with Taryn and Shelby. We were so excited! Well, and a bit nervous too, as neither of us had done such a thing, and doing the boudoir shoot would require, umm, minimal clothing and an intimate setting, I guess you could say. They talked to us through the entire process, giving us positive feedback and providing simple posing suggestions and such, which made the experience both enjoyable and comfortable. I can say with all honesty that Taryn and Shelby have such spectacular artistic visions and great skill when it comes to conducting photo shoots.  I am very pleased with my experience and would no doubtingly book the girls for any future events. What I believe is that because they are so passionate about what they do, this is communicated in their photos, as they approach, say, taking pictures of you on your special day, just as special of an experience for them, and what you get out of it are pictures that really capture the essence of love, emotion, and true beauty Thanks, ladies!”

“Daxter and I just reviewed our photos and we’re amazed on how beautiful they turned out! You guys are amazing!!! I have to say, our little Remy is hard to compete with. The photos of him playing with the leaves and sitting in front of the blue door are gorgeous. I’m speechless (and a little teary).  Again, thank you so much! We will be calling on you again next November, for sure!”
