At Imperfect Joy®, our lifestyle photos and films help families who want to preserve meaningful memories capture the beauty found in real-life, sentimental moments. Unlike trying to chase a perfect portrait, we focus on preserving the simple joys you think you will never forget but as your children grow they fade into the past.

Welcome! I’m Melody Joy Paine

I am a Massachusetts photographer based out of Brimfield, available for travel throughout New England. I specialize in lifestyle family photography. This genre is also sometimes referred to as documentary or photojournalistic. We let life unfold to capture authentic, natural interactions. In all of the ages and stages – from maternity and newborn to grandparent sessions – I will capture a story through YOUR perspective to preserve memories that reflect what you want to remember most. For these sessions I usually come to your home. This is where you can truly be yourselves, and all of the little details surrounding you are an important piece of your story. With a lifestyle session there is an option to capture a film of your family’s story. A compilation of video clips and music create an emotional, visceral, and powerful reminder of your love like nothing else can. Give me a call at 413-214-5209 or use the contact form through the button below. I’d love to hear from you!
