Pay R450 for a family portrait at a location of your choice from Joy Light Studios, valued at R900 (save 50%)

Family albums can sometimes be filled with photographs involving awkwardly placed props and strangers who dropped into the shot like a well-aimed projectile. Instead of being displayed proudly on the mantelpiece, these photos are often stuffed in boxes under beds and left forgotten in the attic. Get a photo you’ll want to stick on the fridge rather than into the fireplace with a family portrait at a location of your choice from Joy Light Studios for R450.

If all your family photos are filled with glazed eyes and expressions that would be better suited to people watching a rousing game of long-distance chess, Joy Light studio’s professional photographer will make sure to add a bit of spice to your snapshot. They’ll also make sure the photograph doesn’t make it look like your family spends all day trimming their mullets and gumbooting in the mud if they’re actually more the piano-playing, finishing-school type.

Of course, if all your family photographs are you and your kinfolk sitting stiff like cardboard cut-outs on a white-covered couch in front of an even whiter wall, it wouldn’t be surprising if your photo-albums seem to be filled with photos of people sleeping. Whether you choose to gambol in a garden or make serious faces in front of an industrial building, a family portrait from Joy Light is sure to make your family look like a cooler version of the Brady Bunch at Christmas rather than Adams Family after a long nap.

With the experience and know-how to make sure you’re not tilting your heads together or making double shins, and sharp enough to spot a blinking eye at 50 metres, Joy Light Studios will ensure you get the perfect shot to frame and hang where everyone will see it.
