MEET OUR TEAM
JEAN JOHNSON - OWNER & LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a lover of people and everything art, especially photographic art. I’ve had a camera in my hand since the age of five, when I received my first camera for Christmas. My parents were both avid photographers, painters, and professional architects. They taught me about art, design, and photography from a time earlier than I can remember. And although, I have my Bachelor of Sciences degree in Interior Design and practiced Interior Design professionally, photography has remained my first love. The time spent between my Interior Design career and opening my full time photography business in 2009 was spent raising my three children and focusing on the blessings of being a mom. My grown children called me “Mamarazzi” while they were growing up and I’ve embraced the nickname. Photography is an art form that connects history, emotions, legacy, story, and relationship all by freezing a moment in time. It’s a calling I can’t ignore. Helping people preserve their family story is a privilege and my dream come true.
EMILY Smith (JOHNSON) - OFFICE & PRODUCTION ASSISTANT
Growing up, I always took my mom’s gift of ‘capturing the moment’ for granted. Every vacation came with at least one camera, our ‘patience caps’, and a lot of sassy eye rolls as my mom shot away. As an adult, I couldn’t be more grateful. Working with my mom is a true gift and great learning experience. I never thought my day job would be this fun or rewarding. I’m thankful to have the opportunity to help other families capture their memories to cherish forever just like mine.
