About Jean Johnson Productions


JEAN:

I have always had an obsession with photography, having bought my first real camera with my high school graduation gift money when I was 18 years old (Minolta 101 35 mm.  I still have it!).  My passion for photography and for people has caused me to “fall into” photographing and videotaping theatre events, sports events, headshots, portraits, and candid shots of whoever would allow me to take their photo for the sheer pleasure of it.  My family has spent many weekends and summers camping, hiking, and visiting historic sites, so I am also very passionate about photographing scenery, wildflowers and historic sites.   

With my architectural design and graphic arts background, I have the “eye” to photograph, videotape and edit virtually any image whether it is people, events, buildings, landscapes, and scenery.  Most importantly, I have the ability to make special connections with people because of my openness, transparency and friendly personality.  I really care about every single person I am working with and I put a genuine and sincere love into every project just because that is who I am.  I hope that I can use my heart and my talent to help you tell your story through still and moving images.

I have a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Interior Environments from Colorado State University.  During college I worked in a graphic arts studio in learning the process of creating camera ready layouts for printing (all tediously done by hand then!). After graduation, I worked as a Commercial Interior Designer and Space Planner for about 8 years.   I have now raised 3 children and have spent the last 26 years focusing on the blessings of being a mom.

While I use professional gear, I believe that the success of the photographer is not in the equipment but in the ability to use it effectively and the ability to make connections with the subject being photographed.  Please enjoy looking at the pages on this website.  I think you will see the heart behind the camera.

Testimonials

We hired Jean Johnson to take family photographs. They were excellent in quality. The results of her photos are as follows: a family calendar for 3 families, three photos turned into canvas prints. Jean was on time and her choice of venue covered our four families completely. All 10 members of the family were extremely happy with the results.

- Ken and Paula Kunkel, Irvine, California
I hired Jean Johnson to take our school portraits and class pictures this year.  Jean suggested we take the photographs outside the school, and we enjoyed the creative change to traditional school portraits.  Jean has a talent for finding just the right background.  She also has a way of making children feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the lens.  Even the children who are very shy and tentative were comfortable with her direction and warmed up to her quickly.  Jean was prepared and organized with her orders for the families.  The portraits were delivered on time and they were beautiful!  Definitely not your typical quick shot school picture.  Our parents were very pleased to have a professional such as Jean come to our school.  I highly recommend Jean for your photography needs.

When I decided to work with Jean, my #1 goal was to create a photograph that brought out my personality. I was going to be using this photo on my business card and website and I wanted it to be approachable. As we began working together, Jean was very patient with me as I warmed up to the camera, discovering that I have a “better side”, and was very conscious  about my clothing and hair. In the end, I had so many pictures to choose from  that it was hard to make a choice. I highly recommend Jean as your next photographer, you’ll be happy you hired her.

Jean Johnston quickly grasped the challenge of taking photos for Behind the Badge Foundation.  “Ask first if you can take the officer’s photo; he or she may be undercover.” “We want the emotional impact from this memorial ceremony but still respect the privacy of the individuals grieving.” Jean listens to directions and discerns what is needed to achieve the desired results.  She is artistic, intuitive, flexible, and has a way of relaxing even the toughest client.  We’re thrilled to give her a call every time we have a need.

- Gayle Frink-Schulz, Behind the Badge Foundation
