Have you ever checked off something on your bucket list and have gotten so excited about it?? Well being on a podcast about newborn photography was one of those bucket list items for me and I got to check it off my list finally!!
I was so honored to be asked to be on the Art & Soul Show to talk about my newborn photography journey! We got to speak about so many great topics regarding newborn photography and I wanted to share the podcast here as well! If you want to hear me in all my awesome awkwardness then this is the place for you!
Newborn photography is my passion and I truly love speaking about it and my journey to get to where I am today! I’ll also be teaching in the 2026 Milky Way (Online) Newborn Retreat along with 20 other very talented photographers! I’ll be going over wrapping in props, maximizing your setups and so much more! Newborn photographers you want to be sure to check it out!
The Art & Soul Show :
Patience, Props & Purpose: The Evolution of a Newborn Photographer with Johna Musarra
“In this episode, Johna joins me to share her journey from 20 years at Starbucks to 13 years behind the camera as a full-time newborn photographer.
We talk about how her style evolved through trial and error, the importance of patience (both with babies and yourself), and how she helps students bridge the gap between “good” and “great.”
She also reveals her approach to color harmony and client styling, how she handles unusual requests (grab your antlers and baby poop stories), and what she’ll be teaching at the 2026 Online Newborn Retreat.
Johna also shares the moment she stopped chasing trends and started creating from her heart and it’s a lesson every artist needs to hear.” – Lisa – The Milky Way
