I photograph personalities -- real people like you and me, and my passion is
to create images that are rich and alive with personality while having fun
in the process! – Joan Heffler

If you found yourself seated next to Joan at a dinner party you’d be struck at once by her sense of humor
and her sharp attentiveness... but there’s something else here.

Perhaps after a few moments you realize Joan is one of those extraordinary people who possesses a genuine gift.
She makes you feel celebrated as you become free and spontaneous and even laugh in front of her lens;
whether she is photographing a corporate event, a family or individual portrait session, or even a wedding.

With the camera temporarily forgotten, the personalities are permitted to shine through!

And it all started with a coupon offer for an instamatic camera - a child’s toy that sparked the passion and purpose of an adult.
After years of personal enjoyment and much encouragement from her friends and family, Creative Expressions was born.

Joan realizes that achieving Pictures With Personality! means building a relationship and being “in sync.”
You work as a team, and Joan guides you through every step of the photographic process whether crafting a delightful keepsake album,
capturing those special moments in an event or designing a wedding package that evokes the joy of the once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

And, like an epiphany, you know this is the very person you want to capture you.

Joan offers a range of packages tailored to the size and breath of your occasion. When you consider a photographer, consider value.
Joan provides a great value, and in the end, presents you with extraordinary photographs that jump off the page and delight your spirit.

Joan was commissioned to photograph the University at Albany Distinguished Professors; and the images are hanging in the University Library in perpetuity. She was also chosen to photograph for the Rachel Ray Show, the national TV show.
