About Jennifer Johnston-Clark: Photography

I have been doing photography for a while now, and I cannot believe how lucky I am to be living my dream. I wake up every morning and pinch myself. I have the most fantastic, unique, and interesting clients. Every job I get is a new adventure, and its incredible. My life is an absolute adventure and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love shooting the variety of life. Any culture, any religion, any sexuality. Everybody has a story to share with the world, ... and my camera!

  • Eeeep starting to get sick, bummer!

    Friday, October 30th, 2009

    On the weekend my sister and her partner drove down to Hamilton with their gorgeous baby Alena, so Aunty Jen got some more cuddles :D Woohoo!!! Thought I would share some photos. But before that, I just want to say congratulations to Nico’s brother Kahn, his baby son was born the other night, and they have named him Tristan! Hopefully we will get to see him at Christmas time! So Nico and I are now Aunty and Uncle to a niece AND nephew, yay!

    So Ive finished up with the portrait sitting I did for my cousin Jo. I had a lot of fun working on these, tried some new techniques etc. Worked pretty hard on each and every single photo I edited. Ive got some photos with my usual style, but also some pretty out there stuff ;D Hopefully she enjoys them all :) I will definitely have to show some before and after editing shots sometime in the future, to show you the work that goes into my photos :) But anyway, I wanted to share a few of my favourites, so here goes:

    This one is my absolute favourite from the shoot. Not only does Jo look amazing, but… the whole photo kinda  has a magazine add feel to it lol. Picture a bottle of perfume in the lower right corner and you will see what I mean hehe:

    s37s381

    s511

    Okay, now this next one is so super editied and over done, but it was on purpose, and I LOVE IT. I was trying to give her the twilight effect (Twilight is a Vampire Movie/Book). So it was really just having some fun, and she looks fab and Nico reckons it worked, so… Im going to agree with him, and stop talking, and put the picture on, lol:

    s521s533

    OOOOOO man was I happy to see graffiti… we just HAD to stop for photos aye Jo. We narrowly avoided being run down by skateboarders though, who were looking at us pretty strangely… the things we do for the perfect shot lol.

    Okay I better just post one more, or I’ll never get any work done lol. It’s so hard picking the ones to show on here, cause there are so many fabbbbbulous ones. But if you want to see more, you can always pop over to my facebook fan page :)

    Okay, so my laaaaaast favourite is:

    s711

    So Jo, you did such a great job on the day. Outfit changes, pie buying, and posing were all done brilliantly hehe. Id do this again anytime with you, makes it so much easier for a photographer when the client does whatever you say haha, but not only that, you moved and posed before I had to ask you, made my job so EASY.And Im so glad those guys didnt steal your purse while I was taking that photo hahaha.

    And to anyone else out there reading this…. do your own personnal shoot sometime. No family, no kids. Just you, me, and some fabulous shoes… cause EVERYYYYY person needs to know just how AMAZING they look. I get your inner self and outer self, as you can see in all my work :) Also, Im totally affordable, check out my website for prices!!!

    Thankkkkks Jo for the funky shoot :)

    Love Jen

    I cannot WAIT to photograph Michelle and Michaels Wedding on Saturday (halloween, ooooo). They are such an outrageously cool couple, and photographing them is going to be so much fun! The other day Michelle dropped in to chat about the wedding day (although I think we talked way more about the men folk than we did weddings lol), and I just could NOT resist grabbing my camera and taking some snaps of her cute cute cute pudgy cheeked daughter, I wanted to be a nana and squeeze them… seriously, I think I need help lol. I should not be allowed around cute babies, cause I go all gaga!

    Anyhoo, here are some of the cute photos, Im sure there will be heaps more on the wedding day…. yay just one more week to wait:

    Well I did a preview post of this gorgeous family a few days ago. I’m all done editing and wanted to share some of my favourite shots with you all. I want to thank Michelle and Terry for choosing me to do these photos, and I hope they can be treasured :D

    It rained. It poured. It dripped. It drizzled.

    And yet they smilled.

    Im starting to appreciate the rain in photoshoots, strange I know, but… it works sometimes ;) A bit limiting but… hey, when people work it out, the photos look GREAT,…. see:

And Nicholas and Nikki, oh my, were they in love. They radiated it. Oh how I love to photograph two people in love :D But enough of my ramblings, CHECK OUT some of my favourite photos from the day:
