We hired Julie to photograph our team during our annual company meeting in Denver, and she exceeded expectations. She was professional, punctual, warm, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. What impressed me most was her adaptability. We were shooting throughout a busy hotel, and Julie seamlessly adjusted as spaces became occupied or conditions changed, always finding great backgrounds and opportunities for unique shots. The final photos captured our team perfectly. I highly recommend Julie to any company looking for authentic, high-quality corporate photography.

We met her at Sloan's Lake and she had a route mapped out for us to take photos. We were there on a blazing hot summer day and she kept that in mind and made sure we had shaded options!

She didn't flich when our toddler was protesting and was still able to get some really great photos inbetween meltdowns.

"I feel like I'm there with you!"…read more This is the most frequent compliment we've received since Jason+Gina (and Erin!) delivered the photographs from our elopement. And it is our favorite because it is exactly what we wanted. With relatives on either coast and us in the middle in Colorado, we are thrilled knowing that even though our family and friends were not in attendance at our wedding, they feel like they experienced it with us! Jason was incredibly flexible when we contacted him to explain that we were moving our wedding up and asked if they'd instead be available in two weeks. He responded promptly to any of our questions. During our initial appointment, we felt he was genuinely interested in us as a couple and what we wanted for our big day. Since we were experiencing the added stress of a compressed timeline, we appreciated the transparency of their pricing and felt confident we knew what we were getting for the investment. In the beginning, we had a concern that being just the two of us, having a photographer would feel "awkward" or "forced." Erin, their partner photographer, was instantly in tune with us: What we wanted out of our pictures, who we were as a couple, and made us feel comfortable the whole way. Erin was able to capture the day so precisely, that even my grandmother who said "Why would you ever spend money on a photographer? It's not like you are going to look at the pictures ever again." has changed her tune. We had our perfect elopement, and Jason+Gina (and Erin) were a huge part of making that a reality. We are forever grateful!

They take so many photos to choose from with different backgrounds and you can change outfits. You really feel at ease during the photo session, lots of laughing and all around fun during the time you have with them.

Delivery of the photos was fast and would totally recommend for a business or fun session.

She had such vibrant ideas as to how we can use natural lighting and our positions for our engagement photos. Being so shy with the camera, (both my fiance and I) Richelle was a great leader and made us feel comfortable and authentic in our poses. She directed us and made us feel at home. I am very pleased with my photographer and her photos. She takes her work very seriously and is a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her for engagement photos and head shots. Thanks again Richelle!

We've had the pleasure of working with Cori and her husband, Kevin, on multiple occasions between…read moreour engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos, and newborn photos. She's literally been there for every major milestone for the past 4 years of our life, and every set of photos has come back better than we could've ever imagined. She makes the experience so fun, and she has a way of drawing out genuine smiles and natural behavior so it's as if every photo is seemingly more candid than it is staged. She's traveled with us through the mountains in Colorado to the Oregon Coast and even within our own home to capture our family in our own element. Do not hesitate to book a session with Ratttrap Artistry today. Their photos are ones that you will value for a lifetime! P.S. I forgot to mention our babies our born a week apart so she literally came DURING her maternity leave to capture these photos of our son. Truly a rockstar photographer and I'm so thankful to have these photos!

This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast!

After our wedding, my mother-in-law specifically commented on how great D and her team were, and how they remained so calm under pressure.

D is absolutely phenomenal to work with. They did both our wedding and engagement shoot and were…read morefantastic to work with throughout the entire process. They are an incredibly talented photographer. All of their shots are gorgeous and fit the setting. They make great use of natural light. While they specialize in more outdoor, remote locations, we also had a great city shoot with them. They can definitely do excellent work in any environment. We love how they capture people's personalities. I am often very uncomfortable being photographed, and they made my partner and I feel very at ease, which made sure we had wonderful photos. We also loved how they encouraged our friends and family to look at each other, be themselves, and made folks feel comfortable during the photos. As a result we got pictures that feel very reflective of what us and our loved ones are like. D is also simply a delightful human being. We probably spent more time on our wedding day with them than anyone else and couldn't have asked for better company. You'll end up spending a lot of time with your wedding photographer, and D's warm, easygoing, and fun to be around. We genuinely enjoyed all of our time taking pictures with them. They're also an absolute professional and so smooth and easy to work with. We appreciated the ongoing communication and planning process before the wedding that was thorough but took limited time. We felt confident that everything had been planned and was ready for the photography day-of without needing to fret or spend a lot of time on it. They were able to make great recommendations for shot locations, including in areas they hadn't worked in before. D got us many previews the day after the wedding, which were so lovely to view with family members while they were still in town. We couldn't recommend them more. River and Root is exactly what you want for any photography related needs, especially if you're queer, disabled, and/or polyamorous. We were so thankful to have such a wonderful affirming photographer for our wedding. We look forward to working with D again in the future.
