IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU!

Henry
I am so happy you are here! I’m a full time wedding and graduate photographer based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. You'll often find my husband Henry working right alongside me. He plays a huge role in JRP and I can't wait for you to meet him. We photograph couples and grads in the beautiful state of North Carolina and beyond. We get to be a part of the sweetest moments of people’s lives and it is such a joy for us!
In addition to us - we have the best team that we could ask for - with 5 photographers on our grad team and a full time portrait and wedding team photographer! We couldn't do it without them.

about
When Henry and I aren’t capturing special moments together, we do our favorite job - be mom & dad to our sweet little boy! As a family, we enjoy hiking in the mountains, throwing a football back and forth to each other on the beach, traveling around the world, and working on home renovation projects.
Henry and I met in high school as best friends, never imagining the life we’d build together. By senior year, friendship turned into something more—and we’ve been side by side ever since.
We’ve grown up together through every season: college, adopting our cats and golden retriever, moving from Michigan to Wisconsin to North Carolina, buying our first home, and becoming parents. Each chapter has brought us closer and shaped the life we’re so grateful for.
Henry has been part of my photography journey from day one. He’s my biggest supporter, number one encourager, and partner in everything. Together, we’ve poured our hearts into building this business—not just for us, but for the couples and families we’re honored to serve.
What started as a simple friendship has grown into a lifelong partnership. And because we know how meaningful these moments are, we’re passionate about capturing the real, beautiful memories you’ll want to hold onto for a lifetime.

WHEN YOU HIRE us YOU WILL BE GETTING:
Someone who is organized and very detail oriented so that you feel at ease and never have to worry about missing something or running behind on the timeline.
Someone who has a classic, timeless style that you'll love and who will capture all of the details that you worked so hard to plan.
Someone that you will connect with and who will feel like a friend by the end of our time together. Chances are you'll catch me tearing up behind the lens while I watch you on your happiest day!

I often find myself browsing flights just for fun and planning trips with no real intention of going—until I book them anyway, because life is too short not to! So far, this hasn’t backfired so I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!

I love staying active by hitting the gym, running, or hiking in the mountains.
I also can’t resist a good beach day with a book in hand—and if I had a boat, I’d be on it every day!
But My favorite days are spent with my sweet little boy!
my biggest recent accomplishment? Finally learning how to keep my plants and flowers alive!
Biggest photography accomplishment so far? Photographing two fabulous couples in Italy and in greece.

Hannah
While I wish that I could photograph everyone myself, I unfortunately cannot be in multiple places at once. So - I've hired a team of the best photographers that the Raleigh area has to offer to add to the JRP team! I have trained each of our photographers to shoot in the same style as me, and we all use the same gear to ensure that all of our photos remain consistent. I edit all of the photos myself as well - so you will still get the same great JRP grad experience no matter who you are working with!
Hannah is a Raleigh-based wedding and portrait photographer with a degree in Commercial Photography from Appalachian State University. She’s been photographing seniors and grads since high school and loves celebrating such an exciting season with everyone she meets. Her goal is to make every session fun, relaxed, and confidence-boosting so you feel amazing in front of the camera.
When she’s not behind the lens, she works full-time with a Therapeutic Foster Care and Mental Health organization. In her free time, she enjoys being with her fiancé, friends, and family.
madeline
Madeline graduated from NC State in 2023 and has been photographing NC State graduates for the last four grad seasons. She likes to capture real smiles, fun moments, and promises to crack corny jokes to get the most out of your session. Growing up in the Triangle, State's campus has always been one of her favorite places and she knows her way around the fun spots.
When not taking photos, Madeline works full time as a project manager, loves to craft, and cheers on NC State sports.
Henry
Henry has been photographing with Julia since the beginning. He started by assisting at portrait sessions, and then once Julia became too busy to photograph everything herself, Henry stepped in by photographing grad sessions, family sessions, and he is in his 4th year of photographing weddings.
When not behind the camera, he works full-time in the auto industry, runs his business - Cobb Auto Detailing - and hangs out with his baby boy. He's a big football fan, enjoys fishing, and is always tackling home renovation projects.
tianna
Tianna is originally from coastal North Carolina but moved to the area after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. She officially discovered her love for portrait photography while studying abroad in England and has been behind a camera ever since. She absolutely loves capturing everybody!
When she’s not behind the camera, she’s mom to the spunkiest three-year-old you’ll ever meet. She also loves to travel and is an avid reader. Her perfect day includes cuddling up with her toddler, reading a good book, and sipping a cup of coffee.
