"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film IS CAPTURED FOREVER... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything"

~Arron Siskind


My goal is to capture beautiful in-between moments that make your story special.

Hold onto the tiny moments and cherish the little snuggles, they grow up so fast!


Every family that I work with is unique and different. There are no two stories alike. I love investing time in getting to know you and your family, and learning what's important for you.

“Karen Johnston Photography has taken our family photos over the years, capturing beautiful memories of our children growing up. Karen makes kids of all ages feel at ease, even managing a smile out of our surly teenagers.”

“Karen has a real talent for working with families and children. She has worked with good humour and unwavering patience with our family on a number of occasions, always managing to capture magical moments, that we didn't even realise were happening. Not only are the pictures perfect for us, but we had a fun time taking them. We highly recommend Karen Johnston Photography”

“Last year we were lucky enough to have a family shoot with Karen. At first I was worried about trying to engage my 15year old son in the process but Karen was fantastic! She made the session fun and full of laughter which really helped put everyone at ease. Karen was so helpful and knowledgeable at every step of the way; it was a great experience and we came away with a host of beautiful photos that I will treasure forever. Thank you Karen for capturing the very best of our family!”
