Our studio was honored to photograph a father and his children, whom he hadn't seen in a while. He was serving in Afghanistan and just returned home. Thank you for your service for our country and we're sorry that you were without your children for such a long time.

On the second Friday of every month, our studio participates in the City of Davis' 2nd Friday ArtAbout. The city theme for the May 10th art show is "Bicycles, Chickens, and Agriculture." Asked to help with the art walk visual promotion, being a long time Davis bicycle commuter, a lover of art, and fan of cycling, Ray chose this classic bike to photograph and digitally turn into promotional art. See the two below photographs before and after. Join us May 10 from 6-9 pm at Ray Johnston Designer Photography, one of the thirty plus Davis businesses turned galleries for this one night only outing for all ages.


What a wonderful spring we are having here in Northern California! Lots of bloom, rich vibrant colors and lakes refreshed from the winter rains, making this area perfect for a Family Portrait. At Ray Johnston Photography, we LOVE to be outside photographing after working in our studio all winter. Give is a call for that unique family portrait during one of the most beautiful times of the year!

A one month old newborn baby is very small, wants Mommy to eat, and can barely open one's eyes. During this photography session in our studio, this newborn started to cry. Once she was picked up and held by her Father, she stopped crying and seemed very content. She fit comfortably right on Daddy's chest and into his arms. Now and forever she will be Daddy's Little Girl. At Ray Johnston Designer Photography we capture a baby's first year, photographing the newborn at one month, three months, six months, nine months, and a year, creating an Album, a custom Baby Book that becomes a family heirloom now and many years to come.
