Lara Johnson attended FSU, PBJC and GMU before attaining the following: AA, Liberal Arts, Northern Virginia Community College; BS, Mass Communications, major, Advertising, Virginia Commonwealth University; and MBA, Finance, George Washington University. She has had a vast array of experiences and traveled far and wide. She was born and spent her formative years in and around Loudoun County, Virginia and now lives outside New York City.

In 2022, she published: A star 3 trees and a venus flytrap, a chapbook about books, people, power and how to use a poem to gain back your standing.

In 2017, she compiled a collection of weekly column about Bluemont, a small town located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains near the Shenandoah River in Northern Virginia into a book entitled: A decade of Bluemont News. These columns written by her mother, Evelyn Porterfield Johnson, cover the years 1969-1979 and originally appeared in the Loudoun Times-Mirror newspaper. In 2025, she updated to two books as the original was a little unwieldy at 755 pages: 1969-1974 Bluemont News and 1975-1979 Bluemont News.

In 2012, she published an autobiographical fiction novel entitled: Reach the Beach.
