Editorial and Fine Art Photographer
Hello, I am Johanna
I’m a Swedish-born family photographer, mom of three, and I’ve been photographing families in the Bay Area for over 17 years.
As a mom myself, I know family photos with children don’t always go exactly according to plan — and that’s part of the beauty of it. My approach is relaxed, playful and focused on genuine connection rather than perfect poses.
My goal is to give you photographs that feel like your family — full of personality, connection and all the little moments you’ll want to remember.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Petite Sessions are 20 minutes and scheduled back-to-back at selected locations throughout the Bay Area.
Twenty minutes may sound quick, but with the right family, it’s plenty of time to create a beautiful variety of images. We’ll keep things moving, relaxed and fun while capturing a mix of family portraits, individual children, sibling photos and those little in-between moments I love.
Because sessions are scheduled consecutively, Petite Sessions cannot be extended beyond the scheduled 20 minutes.
Please plan to arrive a little early so we can make the most of every minute together.
IS A PETITE SESSION RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY?
Petite Sessions can be wonderful — but they aren't the best fit for every family.
I generally recommend a Petite Session for:
- Families with one child of any age
- Families with two or more children when the children are approximately 6 years or older
- Children who warm up fairly quickly and are comfortable following age-appropriate directions
- Families who are happy with a faster-paced session
If you have younger siblings, a child who takes a little longer to warm up, or a child who is especially energetic or having a difficult day, a Signature Session will usually be a much better experience.
Young children often need time to explore, play, take breaks and connect with me before they're ready to give us those natural expressions. During a full session, we have the flexibility to slow down, redirect, play games and work with your child's individual personality rather than watching the clock.
