ABOUT ME…

My name is Joy Prouty.

I think of myself as a midwife of creativity and presence.

As a photographer & filmmaker, women stand before me trying to muster the courage to believe they are worthy of being seen and preserved just as they are. I come alongside to help them move from their minds into their bodies knowing it is through embodied presence that we all find our strength. As they are reborn through their belief that they are worthy, I use my camera to create artistic proof of their breathtaking courage.

As a mentor, women are often afraid to step into their power- their voices shake and they aren’t sure if they can do it. I come alongside to offer tools and wisdom from my decades of work in the creative business field to help launch their dreams into tangible being.

The camera has always been my magnifying glass for finding meaning in the madness of living, and in a variety of ways, I now use this perspective to help shift the mindsets of others from survival mode into presence.

My first book titled Practicing Presence releases August 2023 and will be available in book stores everywhere.
