Real women, real stories

Introducing Luminous by Christy Johnson

After more than 15 years of focusing (pun intended!) on newborn and family photos, I’m thrilled to announce a new venture for my photography studio – ✨ LUMINOUS ✨

Luminous photography sessions are so much more than your traditional boudoir photography experience. Luminous photos are a reflection of the glow that comes from inside you. They’re truly a celebration of YOU, of your inner and outer beauty, of your strength and resilience. This is a safe space just for you, where you can shed your insecurities, embrace vulnerability, and fall back in love with yourself.

While you’re welcome to gift your Luminous photos to your partner, the intended giftee for these sessions is YOU!

Luminous grew out of my own need to rediscover and reclaim myself after finishing treatment for leukemia and turning 50. Suddenly, I didn’t recognize this woman staring back at me in the mirror! My hair had fallen out and grown back differently, I’d gained weight and a few new wrinkles, and things weren’t quite where they used to be! 

But I was determined to love this body that fought so hard for me when I was sick. The last thing I wanted was to abuse her, hate her, loathe her for even one minute more. Of course, it will always be a lifelong journey, but through a lot of self-compassion and self-love, I gained a new appreciation for my body and myself. And now even though society tells me that only youth and beauty are valued in our culture, I beg to differ. I find that I have more to offer the world now than I ever have! And I believe I’m worthy of being seen and celebrated.

And I believe that for you, too.

I’m curious … what’s your story?

– maybe you’re falling back in love with yourself again
– maybe you’re celebrating a milestone or achievement
– maybe you’re starting fresh after an illness or divorce
– or maybe you simply want to treat yourself, as you should!

As an artist, I’m inspired by beautiful light, little details, and real women just like you. It is my honor to create portraits of you, for you, so you can see what we all see when we look at you:

You are a work of art, a masterpiece, just as you are in this moment.

You are ✨ LUMINOUS ✨
