I create the family albums you don’t have time to make, filled with the memories you don’t want to forget.

“I love the photos: they are so us. Nothing was staged, yet you made us look more beautiful than I could have imagined.” – Jenny
This is for you if…
You don’t want stiff, staged photos
You want to feel relaxed in front of the camera
You want to remember things as they actually were
I believe the beauty of family life lives in the little things…
…the little things we often overlook, because they are ordinary
But the ordinary is special and meaningful, especially when our kids grow up, and we struggle to remember.
“I want these photos to capture us as we are right now. Raising a toddler in the rough and tumble of living a life. All these small moments that matter but no one captures.”

Hi, I’m Johanna
I photograph families in the middle of real life, not staged versions of it.
I don’t direct children or force moments, letting the connections happen naturally.
My job is to make you forget the camera is even there.
This is what a session feels like: fun, relaxed, and stress-free.
“I couldn’t think of a better gift to myself or our family than the beautiful albums of photographs that Johanna made for us. They will be treasured always!”

Not sure what a session actually feels like?
Most families aren’t, until they experience it for the first time.
And that’s okay, because this isn’t about posing, performing, or getting it “right.”
It’s about trusting whatever happens is ‘enough’ while I document it.
Trusting me, trusting this wonderful approach that is documentary photography.
If you’re wondering how it all works from start to finish, I’ve broken it down so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your session.
“Not only did I enjoy the photoshoot itself, but I love the quality of the finished pieces (albums and prints) and how the kids personalities were captured so well.”
