  4. A True Artist
    After doing some research I settled on Ray Johnston. From the moment I walked in his studio I knew he was the one I wanted to work with. I could tell by his knowledge, the pieces hanging in his studio, and the appearance of his studio that I was going to be working with a true artist. He struck a graceful balance between dispensing his knowledge and listening to my vision. He was incredibly s...

  5. Best Baby Photographer!!
    We just had Ray shoot our 9 month old daughters Baby-Portraits and I must say.... he is amazing with babies! He was so calm during our photo session, took time for outfit changes, made sure the lighting was perfect and saw to it that our baby girl was having a blast. The professional portraits were just that...Professional! Our baby was happy and comfortable and the high end - end product was ama...

  7. Outstanding experience with a family portrait
    We are a family of five that at long last decided it was time for a family portrait (now that the kids are all in their late 20s!). Ray was extremely personable and professional in preparing us for the photo session; in selecting photo settings, suggesting poses, and conducting the outdoor photo shoot; in helping us select the variety and number of poses we wished to have memorialized; and in pr...

  8. Awesome place to get headshots!!
    Ray is very good at giving advice and knows where to look to get some really great shots! I had trouble deciding on just a couple pictures. He was great in the studio and is very accommodating. He's wonderful at making headshots for prospective actors/actresses and has worked in the industry for years. While the photos are a bit pricy, the product is well worth it! If you can spare a little e...

  9. Swiss Passport Photos
    Ray was realy great with our 3.5 year old daughter and son age 1.5.. There was no way our son was going to cooperate, sit still ,look at the camera, yada yada until Ray brought out his secret weapon - the rubber chicken. It was amazing. Passport photos for Switzerland and Canada were perfect. He does other stuff too, but we just needed the passport photos, plus he's a nice guy. With Ray you get s...

  13. Business Head Shots
    When our company required new professional head shots of all scientific and consulting staff, we selected Ray Johnston Photography to provide the service. Ray provided tips prior to the photography session on wardrobe and make-up, and worked with each individual taking multiple shots using different angles and lighting to achieve the highest quality head shot possible. We were very pleased wit...

  14. Amazing Fashion Photography
    I am a local fashion designer and had a new piece that I needed high quality professional photos of. I've admired the photos in the window of Ray's storefront for years and decided to take a chance with him. I was thrilled to discover that in the past he worked as a fashion photographer for a number of years and really understood how to work with models and highlight a garment. I modeled my pi...

  15. Best Photographer for Child Modeling!
    I highly recommend Ray Johnston to anyone looking to build a modeling portfolio. Ray photographed my nine year old son who?s embarking on a modeling career. The photographs Ray took of my boy were absolutely amazing! He was able to capture my son?s radiance, handsomeness, talent, and drive! So if you are a male or female wanting quality photographs by a brilliant photographer call Ray!

  16. Great Passport photo work
    The requirements for Canadian Passport applications are very specific, and I had already had one application denied because of shadows in the picture I had taken at Kinkos. Ray knew just what to do. He used reflectors and a quality flash, and touched up the photograph with Photoshop. He even gave me another print at no charge when one was inadvertently ruined. I just got my passport on Friday. He...

  17. Masterpiece Portraits
    Ray is a photographic artist who knows how to use a camera and lighting. I wanted memorable photos of my kids who are finishing up high school and starting college, pictures of them at their best youthful vitality. But, being a photographer, I didn't want good smiling poses, but something extra. I wanted thoughtful poses that revealed something about their character. Ray's photos went beyond...

  18. Fast, Easy, and Professional British Passport Photos
    I am a student at UC Davis and have a trip planned to travel to Europe this summer. I'm also lucky enough to have a dual citizenship with the UK. Both my passports needed to be renewed which means new passport photos. When I renewed my American passport, I did it at the post office and wound up with something not dissimilar to a mugshot that has to last me for 10 years. I learned my lesson and we...

  19. Amazing Baby Photos
    Ray has done an outstanding job photographing our son. We were first introduced to Ray's work at the Sutter Davis Birthing Center. While my wife was in labor, we would "take laps" around the ward. Ray's portraits decorate many walls in the Birthing Center, and let me say they are absolutely beautiful! It was there, even before our son was born, that we decided Ray was going to capture our son...

  20. Irish Passport Photos
    I've needed photos for my Irish passport for a while but been frustrated by the strict requirements that are so different to passport photos in the US! So I called to Ray and he took excellent photos for me that fit the specifications perfectly, and now I'm on my way to renewing my passport. =) So if you need passport photos make sure you get them from Ray if you want the job done right.

  21. Photos for German passport
    Passport photos have to be in a very specific format. Ray Johnston did a marvelous job. On top of that the atmosphere in the studio was very pleasant, and the photos were of extremely high quality. We can recommend him without any reservations.

  22. Best Place for Portraits
    Ray doesn't just create a photograph, he creates an art piece, using photography as the medium. I went to Ray's studio with an idea of celebrating my turning 50 with a portrait. Right away, Ray's creative and unique style was evident. We had a long conversation about what I truly wanted, he gave me "homework" to think about and I returned ready to work with him. The end result was not just one po...

    Ray Johnston Photography recently photographed our law firm staff business headshots here in Vacaville, California. Ray created a package that included the studio session, cosmetic touch up, prints, and digital images for web and print. We are all very happy with the portraits and these images will help make our firm stand out from the rest. Ray and his staff?s ease to work with and ...

  25. Photography at its best
    A year ago Ray Johnston Designer Photography of Davis, California visited our church in Colorado Springs. We took this opportunity to have him take pictures of our church members. The photography was so impressive that my husband and I flew him out to take a one of a kind family portrait of us for our home. It was a memorable experience as we explored the many water ways and mountainous back...

  26. Amazing photography
    We have a large family; 5 children, 2 sons-in-law and 4 grandchildren. We wanted a photographer who would be creative with a family sitting. After visiting Ray's studio a viewing his portfolio I knew we had the right person. He had ideas for locations for the photos; gave good advice for clothing as well as the best times of day to get the best quality. I must admit that with the number and diver...

  27. canadian citizenship immigration photographs
    Ray was very helpful and willing to fit me in for a walk in appointment. He did the custom photographs for my canadian passport in less than an hour and took time to make sure they were exactly what was required. Was good to find someone who could help me with the strict demands of the canadian immigration dept. I would recommend him! A little pricey at $50 for two pictures, but that's what ha...

  28. A Wonderful Baby and Family Portrait Experience
    Recently, designer Ray Johnston photographed a family portrait and album for our family. The candid and posed images of our family were beautifully assembled in an album that Ray and his staff put together. My family and I are so pleased with Ray?s creativity. Ray?s comfortable studio made us feel at home. Our family wall portrait hangs above our fire place and we look at it everyday. Ray p...

  29. Best Photography studio in Davis Ca
    For family portraits, wedding photos, or any other type of photography........I can't think of a better studio in the Davis Area. Ray Johnston (owner) has been in the same business location for nearly two decades. Outstanding customer service, and great attention to detail make this photographer stand out above the rest.

  30. Business photos from the best
    If you've walked around or driven in downtown Davis, you have probably noticed the breathtaking photographs in Ray Johnston's gallery. I recently needed to have a picture taken of myself for a business website. I didn't think that Ray would provide this more simple service, but was pleasantly surprised to learn that he does. Ray was great to work with, from scheduling the appointment to helpin...

  31. Professional and flattering business headshots
    I needed a professional business headshot in a hurry. Ray Johnston was very helpful in planning a time for the sitting at short notice. Ray took time to offer suggestions on what to wear (and not to wear!), and suitable colors to make the most of the shoot. He then consulted with me on the images and made sure I was happy with the final photograph. With the wonders digital editing small enhance...

  32. One of Sacramento's top photographers
    As the owner of a mobile Disc Jockey (DJ) service (DJ-MC Entertainment), I've worked with many photographers at weddings and other special events where I've been the DJ at the reception. Some of my "best work" (in the past) happened to be at events where Ray Johnston has been the person capturing the images. It is probably no coincidence that Ray keeps popping up at our events: he has a grea...

  33. Great personal attention
    Ray did our wedding photography on May 20, 2006 and we just picked up our album - the images are beautiful and he really captured our personalities as well as our wedding party and guests. Definitely take advantage of the engagement session - it's a great way to get know Ray and for him to get to know you (your personalities, what's important to you, what "look" you like in photography, etc.), a...
