3 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Session

One of the biggest roots of my business is making sure my couples have all the resources they need to have a beautiful and comfortable session with me. There’s a lot that I do on my end to help that happen, but there are things you can do too to get the most out of your time with me!

Be on time

Lighting is everythinggg for your session! Being on time allows you to get that prime light and dreamy photos. If you’re late, it cuts into shooting time which means you’ll get less photos. So plan to come early so you can have your full session time and the best light! We also need all the time we have if you plan on doing outfit changes.

Utilize the Style Guide

Outfits have a hugeee impact on the photos! The Style Guide that I send you upon booking will help you choose clothes that will complement you and the location. Picking outfits that you feel good in and that match the location will help you love your photos even more!

Let Loose

Let those nerves go and just have fun! PDA like crazy because the more candid you allow yourself to be, the more authentic your photos will be! I want to see your personalities. And more than that, I want your photos to help tell the story of your relationship. Bring your guitar and serenade your partner, eat some pizza together, let’s go roller skating – the list goes on and on! Making your session feel more like a date will help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

Speaking of feeling comfy, I’ve found that guys tend to be the most nervous when it comes to couples photos. So if you’re a guy and you’re not sure what to do in front of the camera, I wrote another blog just for you. Click here to read it.

Let’s Make Some Magic Happen

If you can do these three things, you can leave the rest up to me! I’ll direct you guys so you know exactly what to do. And once you get your photos back, you’ll be blown away by what we created together. I’m soooo excited to shoot with you and give you some amazing photos that you’ll want to post alllll over social media!
