WHAT TO WEAR.

Neutral + Earth Tones

Think neutral when it comes to picking out your outfits. Stay away from anything too bright, loud patterns or prints. Be careful not to clash. Think about contrast/coordinated outfits instead of matching. Like don’t both wear white shirts

Simple + Natural

Think natural for makeup and hair for our shoot. If you’d like to add lashes that can really enhance your eyes but no need to go overboard with extra blush or shadow. Bring extra hairspray if your hair tends to get crazy,

Flowey + Comfy

Please be comfortable for your session. If we’re going to be walking a lot to get to our destination you can bring an extra pair of shoes. I love flowey dresses for extra movement and fun.Feel free to bring a second outfit that is more casual.

WHAT TO EXPECT.

When arriving at your session you can expect a hug!!! Now I don't want you to think of your session as a photoshoot, think of it as an adventure where we get to hangout as friends and I get to take sweet pictures to document along the way! You'll notice my posing style is not stiff and is more focused on movement, so don't worry about those fly away hairs or where your hands are. Just be natural and be YOU!

I like to take a few minutes to get to know my couples as we walk to the first spot. I aways like have you look at the camera first so we can get that shot out of the way. After the first shot I want to try to forget I’m there. Look at each other, enjoy each others company and snuggle and giggle away. This is like a mini date.

My poses are very simple and easy so hopefully you feel like a pro in no time. Feel free to let me know if you don’t like a pose or feel uncomfortable at anytime. I want my photos to capture your love + tell your story. You’ll hold most poses or do small variations of one pose as I move around and get different angles. You can see the slide show below is all the same pose but the couple moves around slightly I want you to show each affection through little touches, small kisses, giggles and other physical touch. Think about what makes your fiancé smile, what makes your parent feel loved and what you appreciate about them.

After our shoot together I’ll remind you of what comes next! You’ll get a preview within a few days and your photos will be sent to you through an email in two weeks or less. You can print them, share them + make save the dates (make sure to send me one)


WHAT TO BRING.

 

CHANGE OF CLOTHES.

I love when my couples bring a change of clothes. I suggest starting in your fancier outfits and changing into causal clothes about half way through our session together.

PROPS.

If you want to bring any props like a hat, a blanket, a guitar or something special to you I’d love that. Remember this time is all about you as a couple.

AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

You are welcome to put your phones, wallets, keys in my bag but it’s best to pack as light as you can so its easy for us to change locations.

SMILES AND GIGGLES.

Get ready to smile, laugh and just be yourself with each other. Don’t worry about me and the camera. I want you to just focus on each other and have fun.

YOUR HOMEWORK FOR THE WEEK

I want you two to take some time and think about how you both naturally show affection to each other everyday. ALL the PDA is welcome! PDA isn't just making out, it's the little ways you embrace each other, or how you sit next to each other, fix each other's hair, or hold hands. So take some time and notice what those things are for you so that we can capture just that during our time together!!

If you know your love language let me know in the form below. If you don’t know take this love language quiz to find out. A total bonus about taking this quiz is that it will help you learn how to love your partner in a way that is meaningful to them!! Feel free to tell me all about your enneagram numbers too because I am OBSESSED! :)

If our location allows I love playing music at our session. It allows for more movement and for you to feel more comfortable. If you have a favorite song, artist or even want to make a playlist please go ahead

Get your outfits ready! If you’re still not sure what to wear PLEASE text me pictures. I’d love to help you.
