PHOTOGRAPHY EDUCATION, RESOURCES & MENTORING

For photographers who care about their work, wherever they’re at.

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about making it feel more like you.

You’re not here for quick tips or visibility hacks.

You’re here because something in you is asking for a slower, more thoughtful kind of support.

Maybe your work is strong, but your portfolio doesn’t reflect it.
Maybe you’ve been waiting for clarity, and you’re starting to realise it won’t come from another scroll through Instagram.

This is where we focus on what really matters: your voice, your confidence, your direction, and your photography.
And we move at a pace that makes sense for your life, not the algorithm.

Hi, I’m Johanna King, an award-winning Dublin family photographer focusing on the candid, unscripted, moments of life.

I have 12+ years photographing families all across Ireland and I am also a mother of two

One of the most important things I have done for my business early on is investing in education & mentoring at times when I felt I couldn’t afford it.

The thing is, it often is the very thing you cannot afford NOT to invest in.

I can help you with a variety of subjects and if it is not listed below, feel free to get in touch and we’ll schedule a short introductory call to see whether I am the right mentor for you.

I also love sea swimming, chocolate, and travelling (without kids – shhhhh), but who doesn’t?

“Johanna is not only a great photographer and the kindest human being – she is a very knowledgeable and generous teacher. She will share and help you see things clearly while being empathetic.

Her greatest gift is being very honest and to the point while making you feel just as competent. Her advice is always inspiring and motivating. I loved working with her and I am sure we will again!”

You can also pre-pay for several sessions ahead of time:

Johanna was very supportive and sweet. I booked a mentoring session because I wanted help with relocating my business and learn more about getting my pricing right. 

The mentoring session with her was packed with a lot of helpful information and she managed to answer every question I had. She gave me advice tailored specifically for my business and took the time to help me feel more confident.

I’ll make sure to come back to her for more sessions !
