ABOUT

JOHANNAH HETHERINGTON

​

I became a photographer 28 years ago, inspired by Dorothea Lange's powerful images of human truth-telling. Photography opened a new path for me—not just as an art form but as a way to explore human relationships, personalities, and family systems. ​Photography has always been about honoring the beauty in human vulnerability and connection.

 

My work is driven by an enormous love for people and an endless curiosity about who they are and can become. I approach every session with empathy, insight, and heart.

​

​Specializing in soulful portraits (including relatable headshots & authentic student portraiture), I strive to capture the precious essence of ordinary moments and the genuine story told on my subject's face. I especially love working with people who don't believe they are "photogenic." You are, trust me. I am a dually certified trained coach, and I work with reluctant clients on mindset prior to the photo session so that the experience of being documented helps shift the sense of self to one that is more objective, self-compassionate, and fearless. 

​

Each photo session is a sacred privilege. I approach it with a sense of relationship, mutual vulnerability, trust, and intuition. My mission is simple yet profound: to help you see and feel the beauty of your own soul.
