I recently had headshots done by Steven with Johnston Photography and could not have been more pleased with the experience! Steven was professional and friendly both on the phone and in person and made me feel comfortable and unhurried during the shoot. He told me exactly what to do for the photos to get the best shot and I was SO happy with the final result! I highly recommend Johnston Photography.
