Get to know me

"I want to capture your life, replay it in your images, and tell your story for generations"

 

Oh, hi there! I'm Johanna.

I’m a Swede, a wife to a French artist, and adventure seeker! Im a foodie and I always have wanderlust.

I became a mama to a little Elf like princess, Gwendoline Elsa, early 2019 and she has turned my life upside down (for the better!!) I am a better person, and a better artist, because of her. In 2021 a crazy prince - Oliver August entered our lives, and turned it even more upside down!

I'm known to spend too much time trying out new resturants and going on roadtrips, discovering this magnificent continent!

I guess you can say I’m a romantic.

I meet such lovely people along the road of this photography journey.

Most of my customers comes back year after year and its truly a blessing to be able to watch these lil younglings grow up to be actual persons.

I am always  marveling over the miracle that is new life. Tiny toes, a little smile in the sleep, a big yawn. The grabbing of a mamas finger and a fathers big arms caressing that tiny human.

Every part of my job feels like a blessing because I get to do what I love.

Whether I'm photographing a wedding or a family in their home, I try to find the warmth and the playfulness in every corner.

I love to find dramatic shadows, and warm sunflares. Colors and textures! 

Let's create something beautiful together.

KIND WORDS...

Johanna is simply wonderful! She has become part of our "family" - capturing our memories and children growing each year.

Her ability to capture natural light and authentic moments is stunning. She makes our kids feel so relaxed and happy.

Johanna is great to work with and somehow manages to catch my children in amazing pictures that capture their personalities and not their meltdowns :) I always get compliments on the photos Johanna has taken of our family and they have become keepsakes for our family.

Monica H.

Johanna has taken our family portraits for the past 3 years, and she always does a wonderful job. She is very patient with our small kids and always gets wonderful shots of them both alone and together.

Her eye for beautiful, natural backgrounds makes the photos shine without overpowering people in them, and her close-up portraits highlight our children's personalities. I always enjoy working with Johanna and will be using her for our pictures every year as long as she'll have us!

Johanna took our maternity photos, our newborn shoot, 6 month photo session, and just recently did our 1 year old pics. She's so easy going and patient--key with the little ones. Sometimes it seems like she can dial up our little guy's smile, thoughtful look, or goofy face just as easily as she switches between apertures. She's really good with families and kids.

Johanna also has a knack for choosing cool spots. I love exploring SF, and our sessions have taken us to nooks of this city that we hadn't yet uncovered! If you're looking for a low-key, high-quality family photo shoot, you've found it here.

Adam M.

We've had both family and maternity photos taken by Johanna, and will hire her again for family photos the next time she's in Sweden! We are so pleased! During our photosessions she's been calm and and made us all feel at ease.

My daughter adores her! She's great with kids, and very geniuine. The photos she took are beautiful and we are so happy with the result, both the family and the maternity photos. I think her photos have warmth and life, and some of the moments she captures almost looks magical.

I had the pleasure of using Johanna for my son's newborn session when when he was just 9 days old and our family pictures last fall. She is amazing!

I'm so happy with Johanna's work and would recommend her to anyone and everyone in the Bay Area. I can't wait to have another family session with her. Johanna, you have my business for as long as we live in San Francisco!
