Couples + Engagement Session
Welcome
Congratulations on your session — and if you’re celebrating your engagement, double congratulations!
This is such an exciting time, and I’m so honored to capture your story. Whether your session is a celebration of a new engagement, an anniversary, or simply the love you share every day, my goal is to create images that feel genuine, romantic, and completely you.
This guide will help you prepare for your session — from styling and wardrobe to mindset and small details that make all the difference.
Session Overview
What to Expect
My couple sessions are relaxed, connected, and movement-based. You don’t have to worry about posing — I’ll guide you every step of the way so everything feels natural and effortless. Expect a mix of flattering direction and playful prompts that bring out your real connection — laughter, closeness, and the quiet in-between moments that tell your story.

The best time for outdoor family sessions is during golden hour — that beautiful, soft light right before sunset.
-
The best sessions happen when you focus less on what you look like and more on how you feel.
Here’s what I want you to know:
You don’t need to be models. My job is to make you feel comfortable and confident, and I’ll guide you into natural, flattering poses the whole time.
Focus on each other — whisper inside jokes, hold hands, dance, snuggle, laugh.
Forget the camera — this is about your connection, not perfection.
Trust me to handle the direction, pacing, and light. You just show up, relax, and enjoy this time together.
-
Before your session, we’ll connect via email questionnaire to go over all the details — I will ask various questions regarding wardrobe, styling, vision, and any specific ideas or preferences you have. This helps me get to know you and make sure everything feels perfectly “you.”

Your outfit choices set the tone for the session — timeless and romantic, laid-back and cozy, or elevated and editorial. Whatever your vibe, the goal is to coordinate your looks so they feel like you and photograph beautifully together.

✔ Eat before your session — hungry couples don’t photograph happy.
✔ Hydrate and bring water.
✔ Plan extra time for hair, makeup, and travel so you’re not rushed.
✔ Empty your pockets (phones, wallets, keys show up in photos).
✔ Trust me to guide the session flow — I’ll help with everything from hand placement to movement so nothing feels awkward. -
You’ll laugh, move, walk, and just be together. I’ll guide you gently through prompts that bring out genuine emotion.
Expect moments that are romantic, sweet, and maybe a little silly — the best galleries always are.If you feel nervous at first, that’s totally normal. Within the first ten minutes, you’ll both relax — I promise.
