Joanna leads with heart, hustle, and a million sticky notes. With 20+ years of producing large-scale tech events, she knows how to make moments matter. And she always has glitter in her bag, just in case.

Curious. Connector. Chaos Whisperer.
JOANNA
Your full, authentic self is always welcome here. Your session should feel wild and free - like you’re out on a date and someone just happens to be there to capture it. No awkward prom poses, just you and your love in the moment.
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY ARTISTIC DOCUMENTATION AND THE LANDSCAPE AROUND US.
My style is a little drama, a little nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun. (Think “main character energy.”) I feed off your emotions and work hard to capture your love in an artful, creative, yet authentic way that’s true to who you are.

Bear is the calm in the chaos—and the reason everything gets where it’s going (on time, and in one piece).

Don’t let the quiet vibe fool you—he’s the crew’s secret weapon.
Fun Fact: Has a secret handshake with at least four union teams.
Strong. Steady. Low-Key Hilarious.

Salena does what Joanna does—just with a little more glitter and a lot of playlists. Equal parts strategist and stylist, she turns complex briefs into seamless showstoppers, all while making clients feel like they’re her only one. If there's a theme, she’s already dreamed it, decked it, and found the perfect throw pillow.
Fun Fact: Wrote a 12-slide pitch deck just to justify using disco balls at a finance summit—and won.
Strategic. Sparkly. Smooth-Talking

If it can be built, glittered, or papier-mâchéd—Hillary’s already done it (twice). As Studio J’s resident hands-on genius, she’s behind the wow moments that make guests stop mid-scroll. From 10-foot flamingos to custom confetti walls, Hillary’s creations are as bold as they are on-brand.
Fun Fact: Once custom-made 200 faux taxidermy unicorn heads for a corporate holiday party.
