Welcome to the beginning of Joy & Sparks Media ✨

My Inspiration ✨

I have been so excited to start Joy & Sparks Media and could not be more proud to finally be able to start this journey and share it with you. Joy & Sparks Media is a creative media content company with focuses on photography and video media content.

Since I was given the option to create creative projects for classes I’ve had, media content has been something that I have been interested in. Inspired by storytelling, Joy & Sparks Media is dedicated to telling the story of the joy that people live through everyday. When I moved back to the United States at the age of seven there were so many new experiences that I had the opportunity to discover. Growing up in a lower income immigrant family, It became clear that the life that I was living came with some challenges. Throughout my younger years and into my teenage years I felt like I was living a pretty sheltered life. I started to notice the experiences I was missing out and was so grateful for the moments that my parents allowed me to be a part of.

It wasn’t until high school where I think I started to branch out. Since middle school I had been in band and my eighth grade year I joined choir. Going into high school I was insistent on being able to do both, knowing that these groups were the best things to happen to me throughout my middle school time. Being able to do both introduced me to so many talented individuals that inspired me on the daily. These people helped bring me out of my shell and overall helped me creatively become the person that I am today. The arts stayed with me through all my time in high school and in college and are the inspiration for the ways in which I tackle all moments in my life currently and moving forward.

Why Joy & Sparks? ✨

Storytelling has been how I have connected with everyone in my life. Being able to share the stories that made us people really connected me with everyone who I got the pleasure of knowing. Seeing the ups and downs throughout our lives in a way connects us as people – helping us to understand that we are all individuals that aspire to share a different perspective. This intersectionality is exactly why I started Joy & Sparks Media. Our personal stories have a unique way of being represented throughout varied forms of media. Photos help us capture a specific moment in our lives, and videos help us to verbally and visually share these stories. This is what I want to future of this company to represent. I have never felt scared or ashamed to share my life story, the good and the bad, and am so excited to bring this angle to Joy and Sparks Media.

What About the Future? ✨

I want to grow in my photography and my portrait photography is the start. As this company moves forward I am so excited to share all the creative photography ideas that I have. Through Joy & Sparks Media’s YouTube channel, I want to be able to share this journey in more detail. Current inspirations, behind the scene content, vlogs, and storytelling is what I plan to share through this channel and I hope that you will follow along and take something with you through every project. Through my social media platforms I hope to show all the projects I am working on and the projects that I am excited to share. Through YouTube, I am so excited to share a more personal side of me and of Joy & Sparks Media.

Again I hope that you will join me as we move ahead into this next journey and feel inspired and ready to go out into the world ready to share your stories, your joy and your individual spark in this world. ✨
