Rhonda Johnson Photography is based in Ottawa, Illinois, serving clients from Streator, Peru, Morris, and surrounding North Central Illinois communities. Studio and on-location options depend on your session type. Tell me where you would like your photographs taken when you inquire so we can discuss the location and any travel costs.

I photograph newborns, maternity, babies and children, families, high school seniors, engagements, and weddings. Professional headshots are also available. Explore my newborn photography and family portrait galleries to get a feel for my work, or tell me what you have in mind.

Start with my photography inquiry form. Include the type of session, your preferred date or due date, and who will be photographed. I can help you choose an experience and discuss availability. You can also call (815) 488-9852 with questions.

I recommend reaching out during pregnancy rather than waiting until your baby arrives. Include your due date when you inquire so we can discuss availability and plan your newborn portraits. If your baby is already here, please still reach out to ask about available options.

Yes. My Pure Baby Experience includes baby and family poses. Let me know who you would like included when we plan your session, so we can talk through the family photographs that matter most to you.

Yes. Maternity sessions are available in the studio or on location. Share your due date, the look you love, and whether you are imagining a studio setting or an outdoor location. We can discuss timing and plan portraits that celebrate this part of your family's story.

Start with a color palette you love and choose clothing that coordinates without requiring everyone to match. Comfortable outfits, simple patterns, and textures photograph beautifully. Consider where you will display your portraits, too. I can help with wardrobe choices as part of planning your family photography session.

You do not need a perfectly posed child to make meaningful photographs. Let me know about your child's personality, favorite interests, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Familiar comforts and realistic expectations can help take the pressure off, and genuine expressions are worth remembering.

Yes. My Milestone Experience includes newborn, four-month, eight-month, and first-birthday sessions. It is a lovely way to document how quickly your baby changes. See the current milestone collection details and reach out to plan your baby's first year.

Yes. Please bring your own cake for a first birthday cake session. Share your theme or color ideas when you inquire so we can discuss the available setup options and what to bring. The current First Birthday Experience details are on my Pricing page.

Yes. The Senior Experience includes two or three outfits. Bring looks that feel like you, perhaps a dressier outfit and a more casual option. Tell me about your interests and the style you want so we can plan senior portraits that reflect this season of your life.

Yes. I offer wedding photography and engagement sessions. Wedding experiences are customized, so please share your wedding date, venue, and the moments you most want photographed when you inquire. I can discuss current collection options and help you think through your photography plans.

Yes. Professional headshots are available through Rhonda Johnson Photography. Tell me how you will use the photographs, such as a business website, LinkedIn profile, or company introduction, and the impression you want to make. We can discuss the session options that fit your needs.

Pricing depends on the experience and collection you choose. My photography pricing page lists current portrait options and what is included. Wedding experiences are customized. If you are comparing sessions or unsure which collection fits, send an inquiry and I can help you choose.

Portrait collections include different numbers of digital images, with upgrade options listed on the Pricing page. Review the details for the experience you choose so you know what is included. If you have questions about selecting images or an upgrade, please ask before booking.

Yes. I can help you choose artwork for your home, from selecting portraits to framing and installation. Tell me about your space and what you would love to display. Your photographs can become something you enjoy every day, not just images you scroll past on a phone.

Yes. I offer the Magical Santa Experience and Christmas Mini Sessions without Santa in Ottawa. These seasonal sessions have specific dates, sets, and availability. Please inquire about current mini-session options and booking details, since they can differ from a full photography session.

Session length depends on the experience you choose. The Family Experience allows up to one hour, and the Senior Experience allows up to two hours. Other sessions differ. Check your chosen experience on the Pricing page, and let me know about your group and goals when we plan.

Outdoor sessions depend on safe conditions and good light. I watch the forecast and will communicate with you if weather may affect your session. Please check with me before changing your appointment so we can discuss the plan for your photographs.

Delivery timing depends on your session. For Santa and Christmas Mini Session updates, visit Your Gallery Progress to find your session and see its current stage and delivery estimate. For other sessions, please contact me for your gallery's estimated delivery date.
