Being in front of the camera is hard. I've been there, and even with my knowledge of posing and photography, it's still a challenge for me to be comfortable! My goal during our time together is to make sure you have a good time. Period. I want your portraits to be an accurate reflection of your personality, and that can only happen when you feel your best and have someone to be your cheerleader.
That's me!
I believe and support equal rights for all people regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religious beliefs, etc.
I have hope that some day we will live in a world where everyone feels safe and valued as a human being.
Well, hello
I'm Taryn!
I will probably way over-use exclamation points when we email or text. It's because I'm genuinely excited for whatever project we are working on together! I'm a not-so-secret nerd and on my off time you will find me playing video games with my husband, reading a book, or crocheting. I'm a sucker for a cheesy romance and anything resembling a happy ending. I can't watch reality competition shows like America's Got Talent or the Voice without crying because people living their best life makes me emotional.
I married my very best friend, Keegan, in 2017. I know, I know... what a cliche thing to say! If you're lucky, he may tag along with me to your session to help out (or mostly, to carry my equipment for me!)
Heck yeah! Let's do this!
"She's your girl! Taryn is the sweetest and friendliest photographer I have personally worked with. It's easy to get the conversation flowing and the ideas out on the table! She also gave good advice when it came to poses from a photographer's viewpoint! And she didn't leave the event until I told her we got all the moments I wanted! She was always easy to be found and my guests loved her as well! You won't be disappointed!"

"[Malorie DePerna Photography's] second photographer that we had, Taryn Johnston, is a gem and frigging nailed our golden hour photos, and I cannot wait to see what other photos she managed to capture!"

"Taryn is great to work with.. super helpful and patient when setting up poses and makes it fun, comfortable, and casual. She is prompt when responding to texts, emails, and appointments and listens to what you want. The final pictures were beautiful and couldn’t have turned out any better. I would highly recommend her."
