I was happy with my professional headshot session from beginning to end. I completed their online form and received an email response promptly. They asked about my availability and recommended a gray background unless I had something else in mind. I scheduled my appointment for a morning session at their studio, which has its own small parking lot. My session was 40 minutes, including time afterward to select the pose I wanted. I appreciated the dressing room to fix my makeup and hair before the session. They had some hairspray, tissues, and hand lotion in the room. My photographer, Trevor, was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave me great directions and helped me select the best pose. During COVID, he and other staff had masks on. The total cost was $150. I will receive a high-resolution image for printing and a low-resolution image for screens/internet by email. I can't wait! I've never had a professional headshot taken and I wish I'd done it sooner. I would not hesitate to consider this studio if you want a professional experience and product. read more

We just found out that our Corgi has lymphoma. Before he passes, we wanted to get some nice family photos to remember him by. We paid a family friend to take photos and I am truly sad that I actually paid for those. So I asked around for a professional photographer with a studio, as our youngest pup isn't fully vaccinated, and that was good with pets. Based off recommendations from friends, I emailed four photographers in the area and Tourine from Johnstone Studios was one of the first to respond in a timely manner. Due to the time constant, we didn't do the complimentary consultation, but just made an appointment for the photos on a Sunday afternoon of that week. She did ask what breeds of dogs they were, to make sure she'd have the correct background color ready. We showed up 15 minutes early and she met us at the door. Tourine was warm and welcoming to both us and the pups. Johnstone Studios is beautifully set up, both welcoming and professionally decorated.We went upstairs to a studio with hard wood floors and she went to work. She was extremely kind to the pups and knew how to keep their attention. Tourine had a great energy and the dogs fed off of that. I could tell that Tourine has experience with working with dogs, as she waved treats, talked to them, jumped around and used a train whistle to see what they responded to best. Our Crogi is a ham and loves to take pictures, but our new golden doodle has no concept of what's going on, so getting him to look in the right direction was taxing. After she was done, she checked with us to see if we had time to view the photos in their viewing room, or if we needed to go home for the dogs. They were both doing well, so we stayed to view our photos. Not only did she get a few beautiful pictures of our ailing Corgi, but pictures of the dogs together and one of the four of us. Everyone was looking, beautifully positioned and I will treasure these photos for years to come! Down stairs in their viewing room, we went through the photos on a big screen tv. We picked a package that gave us three of the photos we choose retouched and the digital rights for a very competitive price. My husband also ordered an Urban picture collage of our three pictures. Tourine was extremely low pressure when it came to selling additional add ons and even offered to leave the room so we could talk our choices over. Our digital prints came over retouched in three days and the photo collage we ordered should be here within a month or so. I am so happy with our family photos! Tourine did a great job and Johnstone Studios will be our new place for yearly family photos! read more

Alright ladies!!!!! Listen up. If your looking for a boudoir session, Johnstone studios is hands down THE BEST in Reno. Tourine made the session memorable, beautiful and fun! She is so comfortable to be around and sees details that make a huge difference. She's affordable and has so many choices to choose from for the end result! I just got a calendar and it truly was top quality! I I highly recommend Tourine at Johnstone studios read more

Photo House - Has all the right equipment and a perfect eye! - Session Photography Near Me

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Trevor captured really great photos today!!!! I'm a perfectionist and totally self-critical. I thought I would leave without having any photos I wanted to use. To my surprise there were several that turned out really good! He walked me through different poses in such a graceful way. I wouldn't have known what to do otherwise. He captured so many different looks perfectly. I woke up with big bags under my eyes and they didn't show up in the photos. Whew. Actually, I told him he didn't have to edit any of the photos because they turned out great! I take photos of people and rarely is that the case. Trevor's wife Tourine is a pleasure to deal with as well. She scheduled the sessions and passed all the info I needed to know. I brought a different colored shirt and the photos of me wearing black were the ones I ended up keeping. One, because they look classy. And more importantly, they didn't show my little roll from eating all that ice cream over the summer. Ha! read more

Tourine was so amazing from beginning to finish! Our photos turned out even better than I could have imagined . We had a slight hiccup with getting the groom and his groomsmen up the mountain to the venue but Tourine was very accommodating and made us feel very relaxed in a somewhat stressful situation. Thank you so much Tourine! read more

See all

Big thanks to Trevor and his wife for squeezing me in to get headshots done last minute and putting a rush on the photos for me. Very accommodating place and friendly owners/staff. Definitely recommend coming here!! read more

We did the baby program, but I don't know if it is available anymore. We paid one price for four different sittings (one newborn, one at four months, one at eight months, and one at one year). This was the best program because we have beautiful pictures of our son at every important stage during the first year. It is amazing how much he has changed and we have pictures to show these changes. Tourine is very good with little kids. Even if you have a child that won't sit still, she seems to get great pictures. I don't know how she does it. Everyone at this studio is very friendly. I would recommend Johnstone Studios to anyone. read more

My husband and I absolutely love Johnstone Studios! They have been capturing our little man's first year in photos and they have gotten absolutely amazing shots! We have both been blown away by the patience and care that Tourine has when dealing with your little one! The images that she has been able to capture are unreal. Literally, every detail and change as my child grows up is caught in the pictures. They may be more expensive than some photographers but they are worth EVERY penny!! They are friendly, caring people and very experienced in what they are doing. I also very much appreciate good customer service and I get great service here! We will continue to do business with Johnstone for all of our photos from here on out! They are fabulous!! read more

This place is amazing! So nice, so efficient, very reasonable. Beautiful studio as well which makes for many opportunities for beautiful photos! I absolutely recommend Johnstone for your next pictures as you will not be disappointed! read more

Fantastic studio. The pictures are amazing and everyone there is kind and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I love these people! Johnstone studios has been a huge icon in my life. As a fellow photographer I'm very picky about my needs and quality of work. I couldn't think of anyone else suited to photograph my wedding. Trevor and Tourine exceeded everything I had even imagined, they went above and beyond . . . and then some!!! My guests raved about their friendly manner, their attention to detail, and the amazing photographs of our day! It was documented extremely well!!! I seriously can not say enough about these two, if you want the goods and you want it done right go see these two. Reno's BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!!!! read more

We used Johnstone Studios to shoot our wedding in Squaw Valley. I am so happy with them and with how our pictures turned out. Tourine and Trevor are extremely friendly and professional. They took the time to look at all of the shots I wanted from a pinterest board I had made and to make sure those were taken. My husband and I are definitely awkward photo posers, but Tourine and Trevor made us feel comfortable and managed to make us look good. They also blended in really well during the ceremony and reception, so that they were not at all distracting during our events. They did a great job with the photo editing, and the results were fantastic. I would DEFINITELY recommend Johnstone studios for any wedding in the Tahoe/Reno area. Thanks Tourine and Trevor! Your guys are the best! read more

First time ever having professional portraits taken with the family. Tourine is simply the best and made the boys feel so at ease. The weather was less than cooperative but somehow, Tourine managed to still capture the essence of each of us and bring that out in our amazing photos. Having trouble deciding which ones to choose! We'll definitely be using Johnstone Studios for all future portraits, including graduation photos in a few years. Thanks Tourine and Johnstone Studios! read more

We chose Tourine and Trevor for our engagement and wedding photos and I have to say it's the best decision that we made! Not only were they professional and took beyond amazing photos but there were so much fun to hang out with on what can be a stressful day! We were blown away at the images they captured and can never fully explain how much we appreciate what they did for us. The extra attention to detail and unique shots they captured are truly breathtaking. We feel so lucky that someone recommended them for us! read more

Had some professional business headshots done at Johnstone Studios. Could not be more impressed with the professionalism and ease of photo shoot, the quality of the photos, and the fast turnaround time. read more

Tourine and Trevor shot an engagement session and wedding for my husband and I. We chose them because of their ability to capture candid moments in the portfolios we were shown. The engagement photos have great depth and creativity, and we cannot wait to see what the wedding photos have in store. They were with us for 8 hours that day, and were pleasant and helpful from start to finish. The sneak-peeks they gave us during the wedding were artistic and beautiful. Prior to the wedding, we met several times in their MidTown studio to prepare and create a timeline for the day, which they were very helpful with. Definitely one of the best in Reno and we look forward to working with them in the future. read more

We had a wonderful photo sitting with a great photographer! Photos turned out great... We got them on metal and they are stunning. DVD of the sitting accompanied with music was a nice touch as well. We will be back for our family portrait! read more

Incredible! Trevor did such a fantastic job capturing my skier, we naturally called him back for the equestrian. Trevor included my daughter's horse in the photoshoot and captured their incredible bond beautifully! Not only did he do a beautiful job with my daughter in her riding gear, but all gussied up on horseback, too. Beautiful sunset shots with incredible lighting; horse & rider in backlit silhouette; the personality & bond he captures is awesome - family heirlooms I will treasure forever! read more

I can't say enough good things Johnstone Studios and the pictures they took for me. I wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot for my honey for our anniversary, and spent hours combing the internet for a studio that offered the kind of photographs that I was looking for. It's so easy these kinds of photographs to veer into the cheesy and/or trashy arena, but the photographs Tourine took are classic and beautiful. She made me look stunning! A huge part of that is due to Tourine's ability to make you feel completely comfortable throughout the shoot. She showed me pics on her camera in between set-ups, which allowed me to see how good her lighting and composition made me look, and thus boosted confidence. I was also thrilled with the picture selection/ordering process. You sit in a lovely room and watch a slide-show of the photos she's chosen for you. I had a hard time narrowing it down to only 20 pictures for the book I chose to have made, which was very professionally done. They were even able to rush the order for me a bit to accommodate my anniversary date. My guy absolutely loves the photographs....and so do I! I may even come back to get a canvas printed for my dressing room. Bottom line, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this studio to anyone who is considering doing a boudoir photo shoot. read more

Trevor and Tourine worked with my husband and I on our wedding in south lake tahoe this last May 2012. We live in New York and communicated via emails and telephone for the majority of our planning. They were incredibly flexible and helpful in the planning process. Planning from a far was very simple. The wedding itself was amazing. We couldn't ask for better!! The photographs were beautiful. They maintained a minimal presence while capturing all of the important moments. We would recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them again ourselves. read more

Wedding done (yay for being married!) and pictures AWESOME!!! I constantly am told that my wedding pictures are the most beautiful and creative people have ever seen! (and I know it's not just that our wedding was beautiful:) even though it was!) I would HIGHLY recommend Tourine and Trevor for photography of weddings, but also anything else! They do great baby photos, engagement shoots, family portraits, senior photos, and even pregnancy and boudoir shots! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! read more

Trevor and Tourine are excellent to work with. Fast, easy, open communication. They were in tune with my needs and goals and worked to help attain those on a very tight timeline. read more

REALLY WONDERFUL! It's not easy for a family of 11 (adults to toddlers) to coordinate for a large group photo shoot. Johnstone Studios really took care of us from beginning to end. All the small details like recommendations of what to wear and how we should prepare the kids were all covered in our consultation. Tourine was able to capture our personalities... all the funny, quirky and loving dynamics between each of us. Thank you for the wonderful photos!! read more

The best photographers in Reno!!!! We have done 2 family photo shoots with Johnstone Photography and they were both amazing. So professional and the best quality photography around. I have people in my house always asking who did my photos and have referred many with complete satisfaction. My work refers Johnstone Photography for all of our brides as well. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Johnstone Studios is GREAT! We had the best experience with Tourine doing maternity pictures. She is so creative and has a personality that shines. We highly recommend them and cannot wait for our beautiful baby boy to be born and for Johnstone Studios to photograph him. read more

I 'found' Johnstone Studios via a Groupon offer & at first thought "well, I've gotten a good deal via Groupon but who knows how good these guys will be". Photoshoot is done & yesterday I had a viewing of my photos & I cannot emphasize HOW incredibly pleased I am with the photos! I cannot stop thinking about them & how beautiful they are-- I'm on pins & needles waiting to get the prints back that we ordered. I, personally, love photography & spend a lot of time taking pictures. I had initially wondered if I should/should not have a professional session done since I take a lot of photos myself, but Tourine's work made me SO happy I did!! She captured the perfect moment, perfect smiles-- & even if, for example, my two year-old son wasn't totally cooperating with her efforts the final images don't give any hint of this. I know the pictures Tourine/Johnstone took will be ones I'll cherish for a lifetime & will adorn our walls always. Also, the way in which Johnstone has clients "view" their photos is awesome too. Complete with music, a comfortable viewing area and dedicated time that is spent exclusively with the client. A to Z Johnstone Studios is a class act & truly talented photography studio. read more

Local mag was doing a small expose on our family, including our dogs, who are clearly family members. Photographer and her associate were very congenial and professional. Great experience, but, we didn't really give it much thought until we saw the results. All we could say was "Wow"! Reviewing the images at their downtown studio was a very pleasant, very professional experience. We were so impressed that we ordered some holiday cards, for next year and some pic copies for family. This was not something we intended to do and were not "sold"; we are very resistant to that and make car dealers cry when shopping for a new vehicle. :) I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for professional work of a business or personal nature. I can't imagine you could find a better quality photography group. Save yourself some time and see these people. read more

Absolutely LOVED our session and our photos. They were able to get some great shots with our dog (which I am sure is the the easiest thing to get on film). Thank you everyone for you care and attention. Your love for what you do reflects in your work. Now we have the difficult task of narrowing down what we want! read more

I love Johnstone Studios! My brother first found them through Groupon, then recommended them for my wedding photographers. I couldn't have been happier with them. We debated on doing engagement photos in addition to the wedding, but are glad we did because we got very comfortable working with Trevor and Tourine. They have such a creative eye that makes you look your best in the photos. Our wedding day they were everywhere I looked snapping pictures. The few they showed us while doing our wedding shots were incredible. One of my bridesmaids from Texas even asked if they would travel to Texas to do her wedding because the pictures were just that good. What a pleasure it has been to work with them. They know what they are doing and I can't wait to see all our wedding photos! I would HIGHLY recommend Johnstone Studios. read more

Johnstone did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! They had quite a few options for pricing and packages available so we could fit them into our budget. The photos turned out wonderfully and they were so professional. They worked together to flawlessly capture our event and knew exactly what they were doing. They were great! read more
