2015 Behind the Scenes

‘Tis the season for our annual look at what goes on behind the scenes.

These are so fun to look through each year and remember how far and wide this gift of photography has taken us: from Canada on Horseback to the North Shores of Oahu to Colorado mountain tops. RTP has got the best couples, always ready for adventure, and always read to do anything for the shot.

It’s a little bittersweet looking through all these moments; what a terrific year! It all went by so fast and I miss it so much. :) Here’s to a 2016 full of more of these moments!

Enjoy!

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
