Hello and Welcome to my online diary

Who am I? Cheryl Johnson; wife, mother, photographer, teacher and freelance designer for Future Publications. I work from my Studio in Essex or on location and although I do commercial work my true passion is for family portraiture and weddings.

This blog is my online diary for both my personal and professional life, and features images from my personal albums and features images from recent client sessions. I love what I do!

Mine on Monday

Some photographer friends came up with an interesting idea for us to keep up with each other’s family life by sharing more personal images on our blogs – by setting ourselves a challenge of posting more pictures of our kids rather than just other peoples children.  This is how Mine on Monday came about.

To try and compensate for the snow flurries of today, I went looking for some sunshine in my personal albums :)

December 2009: There were plenty of twigs on the beach at Anna Maria Island but Ethan had to use a small tree to write with !  Can you see what he wrote ?  I love FB (facebook) …….

Happy Birthday Abbie

My absolute favourite supermodel is SEVEN years old today.  She had the coolest party with all her friends and received lots and lots of lovely presents – happy birthday sweetie :)

How appropriate, that she be the first in front of the new shiny Canon 7d that arrived this morning. First impressions of the new camera is good but I need some time to get to grips with the different dials etc.

Baby Photography


Miss Amelia Poppy is four weeks new and a real little cutie pie

She is the first grandchild on both sides, so you can imagine how adored she is :)

I love her name and why Kelly and Neil chose it; Amelia because it’s as pretty as she is and Poppy for Remembrance Day (Neil is a Lance Corporal in the Royal Engineers) and in Kelly’s family they use Pop instead of Grandad – I think that’s a lovely connection
