Get comfy in front of the camera before your big day!
You’ll receive the perfect blend of candids and naturally posed portraits.
I love to photograph engagement sessions -- especially during sunset! Engagement sessions are the perfect way to get professional portraits taken of you and your love to hang up in your home and use for your save the dates! Plus, after your engagement session, you’ll both feel like pros in front of the camera and will be totally camera ready on your wedding day. Engagement sessions with TJP are a blast! I strive to make your session fun for the both of you and a wonderful outing to remember.
my images are
authentic + timeless
As you scroll through my portfolio, you’ll notice my work is genuine; nothing forced here. I want to capture you and your love truly as you are. You may also notice I showcase my work a little differently as well. Instead of a curated portfolio, I like to show the variety I provide in a single portrait session. My hope is that you will fall in love with these sweet couples and the idea of capturing your engagement session just as you are as well.

TJP experience
I strive to make my portrait sessions fun! My main goal is to interact with you and your love and capture the connection and love that is so strong between you two. I love new location ideas and try to make each session unique to your love story. Flowy dresses? Yes please! More of a jeans & tee kinda couple? No problem! I can’t wait to meet you both, truly get to know you, and create a one of a kind experience!
