“It is always a pleasure working with Derek! Our family photos look amazing and the overall experience was FUN! He took the time to speak with us before the shoot to get a sense of what we were looking for, provided advice on what to wear and selected a location that captured what we wanted. Derek is a true GEM in the photography world!”
-Leda Johnson, Charlotte, NC
“Working with Derek is more than just photo shoot, it’s a family atmosphere. He has made me feel welcomed and loved since the beginning. The photo shoots are so creative and more than fun. All of the models are so sweet and caring. Once you enter the family you’re connected forever. It’s such a beautiful experience and the photos are always AMAZING! Derek is more like a father figure than a photographer, you can talk to him and get advice from him about anything. I am so happy and beyond thankful to be a Derek Johnson Photography model!.”
