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!

"Let those also who love Your name be Joyful in You" -
Psalm 5:11

Out for Christmas!!

Hello everyone!

We  have been very busy lately taking photographs and delivering them to our joyous clients/friends.  Now that Christmas is upon us, we can start showing you the photographs we have taken.

For the next week, we will not be around internet access.  :(  So, please don’t be upset if we are not returning your emails.  We just can’t… yet.  It is now time for us to spend time with our families to celebrate the birth of Jesus and are unable to take any more photographs.  We appreciate the phone calls and emails for more jobs.  It is just another sign that God provides.

Thank you so much for the wonderful year friends!  We love looking back at all the photographs you allowed us to take.  We will be out of contact for a week, so please be patient with us while we celebrate Christmas with our families.
Merry Christmas!!!

Hello!

Hello dear friends,

It seems I have fallen way behind on my posting.   Life and work has kept me very busy!

We are here and still working hard for our clients….just not getting to post all of our work where everyone can see it.  Now that we are ALL healthy again, back in town from our Thanksgiving trip and my sweet little Colin is in school 5 mornings, I will be able to post more for all to enjoy!

Hope all of you had a terrific Thanksgiving!!!

Love,

Lindsey

Simpson Family{By:JJ & Lindsey Vavra/Harlingen,TX Photographers}

As I sit here getting ready to write about how much I love this family and what I joy it has been to watch them grow, I have been hit with the realization on how many times just recently I have written a similar  post.  WOW- this business has blessed me so much!  There has been SO many people that I have gotten to know and honestly care about….and I feel they care for me and my family.  There may be parts of this business that I hate….(only the computer…hate the computer most days!)  BUT- I love to capture memories and I have made so many wonderful friends in the process!

I am SO very thankful for this family and their precious boys.  I truly mean it….IT HAS BEEN SUCH A BLESSING TO KNOW YOU AND WATCH YOUR BOYS GROW!

From the bottom of my heart…THANK YOU for letting us be a small part of your lives!  I hope you enjoy your images!

Love.

Lindsey
