Couples Session
You're the star of your story
This session is more than just a photo shoot, it's your red-carpet moment. This is your time to feel confident, celebrated, and totally you. Whether you’re cozy and casual or all glammed up, I want you to look and feel like a million bucks. Because honestly? You are.
This guide is here to help you prepare, eliminate any guesswork, and ensure your session feels like magic from start to finish. Here’s everything you need to know:
01. BE ON TIME
Light is everything, especially that golden-hour glow we all love. Arriving on time ensures we have the best lighting and the most relaxed experience. Plan ahead, build in travel time, and treat this like a date you’ve been looking forward to (because it is, right?!).
02. Dress to Impress (But Stay You)
Outfits matter — not because we're chasing perfection, but because I want you to feel unstoppable in front of the camera. When you feel good, it shows.
Here are a few tips:
- Dress up a little more than usual. Couples photos are always a special occasion. Think “date night on your best day.”
- Coordinate, don’t match. Choose colors and textures that complement each other and your location.
- Consider layers and movement. Flowing dresses, statement pieces, or even a second outfit can bring your photos to life.
- Avoid busy logos, loud patterns, or neon colors. They can distract from you, and you guys are the main characters in your love story, remember?
Need help? Send me photos of your outfits. I’m always happy to help you choose what photographs best.
03. Hair & makeup
This is the perfect time to get all done up with hair and makeup, or just an excuse to treat yourself. Professionally done hair and makeup always photograph beautifully, but more importantly, they help you feel your absolute best.
04. Bring the Essentials
You don’t need to bring much, but here are a few things I recommend:
- Comfortable shoes (for walking to locations)
- Touch-up items (lipstick, blotting paper, etc.)
- Water, especially on warmer days
- A coat if it’s cold out between shots
- A second outfit or accessories if you're planning to switch things up
05. Trust the Process
This isn’t about stiff poses or forced smiles. My style is a mix of guided prompts and natural moments. I’ll direct you when needed, but I also give you space to just be together. Laugh, flirt, cuddle, do whatever feels natural to you.
Even if you’re nervous, I promise: within 10 minutes, you’ll be relaxed and having fun.
06. Let’s Make it Meaningful
Want to shoot somewhere that tells part of your love story? Let’s go! Whether it’s where you had your first date, your favorite coffee shop, or a gorgeous overlook that feels like “you,” I love helping couples create sessions that are personal and full of heart.
07. Celebrate This Moment
Couples sessions capture such a sweet season in your relationship; the love, the excitement, the joy of knowing your forever is right in front of you. So pop champagne. Plan a dinner date after. Soak it all in.
And remember: You're the star of your story. Let's capture it beautifully.
