Joanna Saidy, a Bay Area native, has been fascinated with photography from a young age since viewing her father's old black and white slides of Beirut and Rio de Janeiro. Her eventual love of travel led Joanna to use the camera lens to document her own adventures for friends and family.

Joanna believes in seizing the spontaneous, candid and unstaged moment. From engagement portraits to children growing up, as well as weddings and anniversary milestones, Joanna truly captures the essence of life's memorable events.

In addition, believing in what is becoming the lost art of letter writing; Joanna creates customized note cards based on your favorite photographs. A personalized card is a great way to announce the arrival of a new baby, a thank you note, a unique invitation or just to let someone know you're thinking about them.
