About

Hello friends. 

My name is Jess, and I am a photographer and designer living in sunny Santa Barbara, CA.

And I've always been the creative type. 

Growing up, it was a delicate way of saying that I was terrible at math. 

And that I was sort of a social butterfly. 

Now I like the moniker - being creative makes me feel alive and happy. 

And I'm still terrible at math.  

These days I spend most of my creative time behind my Canon, graphic designing, loving interiors, playing on the beach, and indulging in culinary adventure.

For more details regarding my photography and design work, check out www.jess-roy.com

I am married to a gorgeous piano playing genius, who makes me laugh like no one else.  

Roy Joy started out as a place to post updates about our lives for far flung family and friends, and now is a place for all creative types to stop by and hang out. 

Thanks for visiting! :)
