We met Caitlin and James in downtown Santa Fe’s Gruet tasting room, attached to the Hotel St. Francis. While enjoying a glass of champagne, we got to know this couple’s mischievous and fun-filled personalities! With their favorite hobbies including dining out and wine-tasting, we learned that they had fun while going out by telling the […]

Back in early winter, we got The Itch… which only means one thing: a styled shoot was imminent! Maura put Hannah in charge of planning a more alternative session— something a little different for us— but keeping it in the MJP vein by making sure it still had strong hints of romantic femininity. With the […]

Cristina and Eric met through the website Plenty of Fish. However, they never moved forward past the talking stage, and it wasn’t until they found each other again on another dating app that they reconnected. As soon as they matched, Eric asked, “Remember me?” And the rest is history! Fast forward a few years, and […]

Holley and Cooper met at their second year at Texas Tech University School of Law. He asked to borrow her notes, which sparked a friendship between the two that lasted the duration of their time at college. After graduating, they both got jobs in Lubbock, TX and officially began dating. With her being from Baird, […]

Jenny and Tommy met through Tom’s cousin while he was serving at a restaurant with Jenny. A little later, Tommy happened to post a picture of a pizza place he was trying, and shortly after commenting on the picture, they began dating. As a result, pizza became “their thing.” When Tom went to propose, he […]

Naima explained that she went on one awful date after the next, and she finally decided one day that she needed someone else to look […]

Katie and Ian were wed last Friday in the stunning southern Missouri city of Branson. We’ve known Katie for years, having shot her maternity pictures, a couple family sessions with her adorable daughter Mia (the most recent, super glowy one you can view here), and of course she and Ian’s incredible engagement photos (which you […]

Hailey and Evan met when they were much younger at a summer camp. They became fast friends playing cards and soaking in the summer bliss hanging out with each other all week… but when the camp came to an end, they went their separate ways. Fast forward 5 years, Evan moved back to Albuquerque and […]

After an extra year of waiting, we finally were able to shoot these two cuties’ wedding— and we have to say, it was worth the wait! Victoria and Aaron’s day was absolutely beautiful and full of so much joy, as it was practically radiating off the couple. Furthermore, you could tell how happy their close […]

When I called Rebecca to go over her timeline for her wedding, I could hear the fear in her voice. The fear that they would have to postpone their special day again thanks to COVID, or if they decided to have their wedding, the fear that her family and friends wouldn’t be able to attend. […]
