For me, photography is much more than a “means to an end,” or a job to be finished. Instead, it’s an experience that I’m convinced should be felt and enjoyed. Anytime I’m talking with perspective couples I always spend far more time emphasizing the passion I have for the people I’m working with – because I feel […]

Y’all – 2017 was seriously the best! I was able to work with the coolest couples and capture some of my favorite work to date. I love to look back on each year that I’ve photographed, because it lets me see how my style has evolved and how my work has grown with each passing […]

I’m not entirely sure that it’s even fair to be able to photograph a couple this perfect at a location this incredibly beautiful! Seriously – after seeing these photos I promise you’re going to want to move to a big open field with old crooked oak trees and winding dirt roads!  So a little about […]

Today we’re talking about making a connection with your photographer – a true, awesome, makes-you-wanna-hang-out connection. Of course you should look at past work, reviews, packages and a few other things, but it’s absolutely imperative that you really, REALLY like your photographer. You need to truly think they’re pretty cool – and here’s why. See, […]

This portion of the article just might be the one that I’m most passionate about! See, I’ve worked many weddings over the years and there is literally nothing that can get under my skin. Well, except one thing… Couples not being treated like royalty! I absolutely detest when couples aren’t treated like the rockstars they […]

From the moment we met, I knew that Liz and Brandon were not your “average” couple. They were more fun, and dare I say “quirky,” than anyone I’ve ever worked with. These two seriously enjoy having fun and picking around with each other. Their love is unique and one-of-a-kind… And I LOVE it!  During our […]

Just a couple of weeks ago I was able to spend time with Suzanne, Jeff and Miss Cassie while we captured engagement photos for these three. I love that they chose to incorporate Cassie, because she kept me on my toes! She was full of ideas, but she also was totally on board with everything […]

Engagement sessions are the perfect way to express who you are and where you’re at in life just months before your wedding day! I tell all of my couples (and I believe it) that your engagement session is your last chance to take photos together before you’re married. (“Ok . Duh! I know that.” But think […]

Tiana and Jermaine were literally bursting with love and laughter at their engagement session this summer – and it shows in their photos! The way they look at one another conveys such a deep love and connection. It’s priceless. I’ll admit that when Tiana told me the location she had picked for our session I […]

Today on the JTP Blog it’s “Throw-back Thursday” and we’re taking it back to Diana & Justin’s classic and fun engagement session from April! These two were oozing with love and happiness and it totally shows in their photos. Photographing two people that are THIS much in love is truly a rewarding experience.  From the […]
