Vine Images Inc. Julie Johnson Photography Blog

“Whatido” is an exciting new program designed to celebrate both the personal and professional calling of christian men and women in their workplace. I was asked to be featured in a segment last November and now the show is moving to a new half hour program. Brigitte Foisy and I will be on the first episode. For those of you who do not know, I was a very rebellious teen with a lot of anger toward my family. I was out of control and  into many things that I shouldn’t have been…. which led to being kicked out of my home at the age of 15. At 18 (still very angry & rebellious) I attended a church play with my Dad and at the end I realized my need for Jesus and asked him to come into my life. A year and four months later, after a lot of searching and analyzing, my life was dramatically changed. I felt God’s Love in my life and was instantly healed of all of my addictions, anger, and bad habits. I was a new person through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). My parents couldn’t be happier as I asked them for forgiveness for the way that I had treated them. Their angry bitter child was now a  new person full of LOVE , JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF CONTROL. (Don’t get me wrong…I am still FAR from perfect) I went back to school, got a full time  job, met my eventual husband (Jesus had also changed his life), got married, and had three beautiful children in a very short amount of time (three kids in two and a half years). I fell instantly in love with them and wanted to document every moment of their life on film. I would set up backdrops, and take photo after photo but never thought of it as a career until a girlfriend of mine from up north come over for a play date with her son. She was showing pictures that she had done by a professional photographer in her home studio. I took a look and said “WOW, I can do better than these ….This is it! This is what I am going to do!” It has now been 8 years since my business was established and I ‘ve been priveledged to be voted number one in Burlington for the last four years for best Photographer and best studio. Thank you so much to all who have supported me throughout the years! The name “Vine Images” comes from the Scripture verse John 15:5.   “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” All the images that I capture are of God’s creation (God’s Images) and I love it!!!! People are beautiful!!! If you would like to read my full story please go to Pages Link Above and then click on “My Story”. Here are a few pictures of the taping.

I would love to hear from you! If you could take some time to email me or make a comment below I would greatly appreciate it! (please note that comments take a day to process.)
