Photographing TJ was one of the most fun guy senior sessions we did this year! He brought his trumpet with him for some senior portraits showing off his musical talents, and we wondered all over downtown creating some great images! TJ is seriously such a cool guy, and made Josh and I laugh the entire […]

Rachael is one of our class of 2018 model team members! She chose to do our Luxe session, and we had a total blast with her and her parents!  Rachael is smart, funny, and seriously beautiful! Her session started with hair and makeup in the studio, as well as some editorial senior portraits in the […]

Every other month my model team and I get together to create something. Some months it’s week long mini sessions with an elaborate set, other months it’s group sessions in a beautiful setting with a theme. This month was all about spring!  We rescheduled once because there was a tornado that day, (what!?) and the […]

We did something crazy new and exciting this year! Each year for the past 7 years I’ve had a “model team” its made up of incredible young women who do great things in their community, and want to make an impact on the world and their town.  (enjoying photo shoots is a cool perk too!) […]

Elise came into the studio giggling. We had both been planning this epic session for months and the weather was making us nervous, band camp was making our time crazy and we wanted to drive to Pittsburgh! Somehow, everything went perfectly. Lindsay did her hair and makeup and it matched her personality flawlessly. We drove […]

Alyssa is sweet, kind, spunky, free spirited and an incredible young woman. She’s a part of our 2017 Model team, and we had a blast creating her senior portraits. We spent a bit more time in the studio, and these are some of my favorite images that I’ve created! This session was a true collaboration […]

I wonder if when Kacy was a little girl, her momma ever sang “you are my sunshine” to her. That’s the kind of girl Kacy is. A sunshine and a light to everyone around her. Her joy is infectious and her smile lights up a room. Her day was rainy, but that didn’t stop us […]

We’ve been dreaming of this photo shoot for a month now. We had big plans and dreams and vision! Even though it didn’t pan out exactly how we wanted, I’m so happy with the time we got to spend together as a group and the incredible images we created!  Courtney is simply stunning. She makes […]

These teenagers have been such a huge part of my life this year. I’ll be so sad to see them head off to the big world, but I’m SO SO proud of everything they have accomplished and everything they have become! You may remember Hannah from her senior session.  She has been a part of […]

  Dear 7th grade Me, You are going to make it. It’s going to be hard, but it’s going to be so worth it. You are going to experience new things. Your first exam, your first crush, your first pimple, your first lost friend, and so many more things. It’s going to be exciting and […]

Hey I’m here to talk to you about depression. I know it’s not the most comfortable subject to talk about but there is no reason to be ashamed. For awhile I was embarrassed to even admit to myself I struggled with it. But through God I realized it’s okay and He can help not just […]

As I conclude my junior year and start making plans for after graduation, I have begun to really appreciate my younger years, and the people who were a part of them. I am by no means the most participatory kid, or the most popular, but without being as involved as I was when I was […]

I LOVE shooting downtown.   One of my favorite parts of opening the studio has been the incredible amount of diverse locations within 5 minutes walking distance! Since we have started offering these images, we have added a little bit extra sassy and a bit extra fun to all of our senior sessions!  Keep reading […]

Sam and Lexie joined onto the model team this November with the idea that they would like to have the full JRP Senior Experience as well as be able to do some service projects and help their community before they leave for college. I’m so glad that they did! We spent a full day together, […]
