Hey there—Welcome to Curious With a Camera!

I’m Jo, and I love chatting with people, wandering into new places, and being camera-ready!

This blog is where I’ll be sharing little glimpses of those moments—real stories, cool folks doing what they love, the unexpected when you stay open and curious. Whether I’m photographing someone in their element or capturing the energy of the space, it all comes back to CONNECTION.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you'll consider subscribing. Click below to get started.

Let’s see where this curiosity takes us!
