  • Heather Johnson Photography : Minneapolis/ St Paul Children and Family Portraiture

    Thank you so much for visiting my website. My name is Heather Johnson and I am a natural light lifestyle and wedding photographer that serves the Minneapolis/St Paul metropolitan area. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to show you my work!

    You'll notice right away that my website is configured as a blog instead of a traditional portfolio site. I did this primarily so that you are sure to see examples of recent sessions and weddings, as well as view my latest digital memory-keeping page. I am passionate about photography and the stories they tell and I have found that the way this works best for me to capture this in my own life is through a memory-keeping system called Project Life. I am on a mission to convince everyone how simple, fun, and downright amazing it is! This blog's primary purpose is to show you how passionate I am about capturing life's moments and my hope is that once you see how dedicated I am at capturing moments in my personal life, there will be no question as to how dedicated I will be at capturing yours.

    So sit back, sip some coffee, and take a look around. After you have had the chance to scroll through some of my recent blogposts, be sure to check out my children's gallery and family gallery--both of which are full of some of my favorite images. As you will see my emphasis is always on genuine laughter and fun.

    I look forward to hearing from you!

Sweet Baby Girl : Minneapolis/St Paul Newborn Photographer

A few weeks before Christmas I had the opportunity to join this sweet family in their home as we documented the arrival of their new sweet baby girl. I absolutely love how the images turned out and wanted to share a few of my favorites.

In-home newborn sessions are relaxing for everyone, including baby. She barely woke up the entire time I was there! Definitely how I plan on doing newborn sessions moving forward. If you would like more information about what a newborn lifestyle session entails, or would like to schedule a session, please contact me to secure an appointment. Look forward to hearing from you!

Digital December Daily : Day Seventeen

Day Seventeen is all about our lunch at The American Girl Doll Store at the Mall of America. After our visit with Santa on Monday we decided it would be a fun day to finally do it. (Holly asks to go there about three times a week!) The mall wasn’t busy, it wasn’t high noon at the restaurant and therefore too crowded, and most importantly of all the baby had taken a big nap in the morning. It couldn’t have turned out better–we had a great time!! Marie, in particular, really enjoyed her food. One taste of the spinach artichoke dip and her whole fist went in! It was too funny:)

Here is a look at Day 16 and 17 together:

And a look at Day 17 on its own:

Now time to do the Santa layout. Been looking forward to this one all month!!!

Digital December Daily : Day Sixteen

Soooo close to being caught up. (That Vegas trip really disrupted my rhythm didn’t it?!) Today I have day 16 to share–a memory that actually happened on the first of the month. I have found that focusing on holiday or winter themed memories (with a page or two specific to each girl’s personality right now) is what I have wanted our December album to be about.

So onto my page! Here is Day 16:

Day 17 is halfway done, and day 18 should be a snap. We saw Santa that day and have TONS of photos. I am very excited to conquer that page. If naps go as planned, those pages should all be posted by tonight!

Digital December Daily : Days Fourteen and Fifteen

Working hard on catching up on my December Daily! Days Fourteen and Fifteen bring us a page dedicated to Marie (Holly had one on Day Six) and a page about our latest craft projects from our Kiwicrate subscription–making ornaments!

First a look at the two pages together:

Day 14 on its own:

Day 15 on its own:

We visited Santa yesterday, so there is a fun double-page spread coming up soon–along with more adventures of our little elf Gracie. Who keeps forgetting to move. Which reminds me….I better think of somewhere to put her.

A mom’s work is never done is it?!

PS–check out the b/w photo of Marie above, is that little upside down stance not the cutest thing ever?!?! She does it ALL of the time. Wait until you see my Project Life layout for this week–I have a 6×12 photo of this stance close up that will just melt your heart!
