ABOUT
My name is Leni Johnston and I am a professional photographer based in Toronto and the surrounding areas.
I believe…
I believe we need to be judged by our wealth of experience not our age.
I believe life experiences feed the work we do there needs to be a balance between the two.
I believe in supporting those who are daring to be different and who are charting a path for a sustainable future.
About Leni Johnston
I'm a professional photographer who is also an artist at heart, a natural project manager, and a gardener who loves caring for our beautiful planet. For me, creating is a constant need, balanced with a deep curiosity about the world.
Right now I am very keen to know about and support those that are starting over in mid life. The world is changing quickly and it can be very hard to convince the powers that be that we are still totally relevant and powerful. This is especially challenging for women.
As a woman in my 50s, I get it. Aging can throw some curveballs. The way we see ourselves in the mirror doesn't always match how we feel inside. Our bodies change, and sometimes it feels like we're playing catch-up on how to care for them. Not to mention feeling invisible, like the world suddenly forgets how amazing we are.
I’m here to tell you - we can take back control! You can view a Spoken Word I put together on the subject on my You Tube channel.
So many people are now taking the leap and building their own dreams! Whether you're a solopreneur, a freelancer, or a rising entrepreneur, I'm here to help you tell your story through beautiful, stylish photography. From branding portraits to product shots and everything in between, I want to bring your story to life.
Oh, one more thing you should know about me – I'm a passionate environmentalist. As a gardener, I spend many hours supporting and nurturing plants and the soil and as a dog parent, I am fortunate to walk my dog on the shores of Lake Erie almost every day. We are completely dependent on the environment that surrounds us and yet, not enough is being done to protect it. I’ve written a couple articles about the challenges of living sustainably and you can find them in the Resources section. It's important to me that everything I do reflects that commitment to our beautiful planet. So, if your business aligns with protecting the world, let's chat about how we can work together!
If you're ready to embrace next adventure, promote your business, or simply celebrate with friends and family, let's chat! I can't wait to collaborate and create something incredible with you.
I ALSO DO…
PET PHOTOGRAPHY
Pet portraits are a new adventure for me and already I am loving it. It is the perfect combination of the two things I absolutely love - photography and animals. From puppy hood to their senior years, our pets are members of the family and equally precious. It's so important to capture each stage of their lives so we can treasure them forever. My dog is getting older and I am so aware of preserving each moment. I would love to do the same for you.
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
My art is an expression of my passion for the world that sustains us. I have a variety of images that can be custom printed to suit your environment.
Living sustainably is a part of my daily life and a portion of my income is regularly donated to environmental, social and animal support charities.
