About Me

Donna Johnson | Create Your Badge

I love photography!  Photographing weddings is my favorite . . . I guess because I'm a romantic. Every wedding I shoot is as if for the first time - it never gets old. How can one not be touched at witnessing and recording the ultimate expression of love and commitment between two people! My goal is to capture the joy, the excitement, the love . . . in a free flowing style - never obtrusive or contrived . . . and to produce images that display flair, an eye for detail, an artistic sensibility and tell a story.

Of course because I love people and their stories, I love providing a visual interpretation of them. As well as weddings, I also photograph seniors, families, pets - anything involving people!   I also do photo restoration, freelance work, and fine art photography. I have won awards for several of my images.  At the present I cover all of San Luis Obispo County and beyond.

I live in Atascadero, Ca., located on the beautiful Central Coast of California, with my husband Rex, his dog Zoe, and my boston terrier Bella.

Carly

My daughter Carly has moved back to California from Boise, Idaho. I got to practice my portraiture skills on her. Here are a few of that are ready for uploading. She used to hate having her picture taken - obviously she learned to enjoy it. What else can you do when your mom is a photographer?

We came across this cool old building on Monterey St. in San Luis Obispo. The businesses had to move out because the building needs retrofitting.

These were taken at a winery in Templeton.

Carly got this idea from a TV show. She really doesn't know how to float - we had lots of laughs trying to get one that looked like she was floating.

Carly used to ride for years when she was growing up. We borrowed her friend Molly's beautiful dapple gray horse for this shot.

There's more to come later.

Donna! These are awesome!
Just curious, was the "TV show" America's Next Top Model? Because I love that show, and have always wanted to try that shoot.... hahahaha.

Thanks Sarah! You guessed it. We used your parent's pool. We were cracking up half the time because she couldn't stay floating.
