Welcome to Full of Joy Photography

Welcome to Full of Joy Photography where our specialty is photographing Joyful people.

Lindsey Vavra owns and operates her boutique studio located in Harlingen, TX.  Lindsey's passion for the art of photography started when she had her first child.  She remembers taking her old 35mm camera and snapping away constantly to preserve that memory.  She has since studied through the New York Institute of Photography and continues to attend many workshops and seminars taught by prestigious photographers.  In 2005, Lindsey started her business out of her passion for creating art and life long memories through photography.

Lindsey is a wife and mother of two awesome little boys ages 8 and 4.  She understands deeply how important it is to capture those memories of your precious little ones before they grow and the sweetest moments have passed.  Lindsey's passion is to capture precious memories for you while providing a Joyful experience.  We promise to cherish these fleeting moments with you.

Hugs to you all!

Vanessa was a total blast, a natural in front of the camera and not shy to be in front of a crowd. Thanks Vanessa for being so easy going and fun!  More photos to come soon!

We are here!

Fri. June 11, 2010 at 7:51pm Posted in Joyful Thoughts

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to write a little note and let you know that we are here and we are working!!!  Both of my kids are not going to any type of scheduled child care this summer simply because  THEY ARE GROWING TO FAST and I just HAVE to spend more time with them.  So, I will not be posting every job to the blog….I never have publicly posted all of our work simply due to lack of time..but my fall goal will be to post every job we do, of course minus those who still wish to keep their sessions private.  :)

Our first week of summer I have had to spend several daytime hours in front of the computer, but the boys and I have also been busy reading, learning new things, doing a couple of science experiments and made a two day beach trip-not bad.  I plan to post some pictures of them soon!

Next week I will have scheduled computer work time on Tuesday and Thursday, so I will be sure to post some of the fun sessions  we have been doing then.  And if you need me for anything..that will be the best time to catch me!

Hope you all are having a great summer and are keeping cool!

Hugs to you all!

June 2, 2010 - 3:09 pm Cassie Rummel - Lindsey & J.J -- you are amazing. You truly have a gift. I will definitely cherish these forever. James watched the video and said, "That was fun. Do it again!" He also digs the song and telling me, "Sing my song. Sing I love you." Thanks so much!
