SESSION GUIDE
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Your session isn’t about perfectly posed moments; it’s about the real stuff. The in-between looks, the belly laughs, the way your fingers find each other’s without even thinking.
We’ll run, play, move, and maybe even get a little messy. I’ll give you gentle direction to keep things flowing, but mostly, I’m here to document your connection as it truly is, imperfect, beautiful, and 100% you.
WHAT'S YOUR VIBE??
Let’s build a session that feels like you
Ask yourself: what kind of energy do you want your photos to hold?
☐ Romantic & dreamy (fields at sunset, bare feet, soft light)
☐ Playful & fun (movement, laughter, getting silly)
☐ Intimate & cozy (blankets, coffee, quiet moments)
☐ Edgy & editorial (bold outfits, moody lighting, downtown vibes)
☐ Adventurous & wild (hiking, swimming, messy hair and all)
Think about the memories you want to look back on and let’s create them.
LET'S GO ON A DATE!
Instead of just “taking photos,” let’s make it feel like a date I get to tag along for. Here are some ideas to get you dreaming:
-
Grab lattes at your favorite coffee shop
-
Cozy up at home with pancakes and records
-
Have a picnic in an open field or park
-
Explore a misty forest trail
-
Jump in a lake at golden hour
-
Get ice cream and wander through downtown streets
-
Book a minimal, moody studio for a styled vibe
-
Cuddle up on a blanket under the stars
-
Cook dinner together, let’s dance in the kitchen, mess and all.
What matters most is that it feels like you. I’ll be there to capture the story as it naturally unfolds.
TIME OF DAY & LIGHTING
Because light tells a story too
When we shoot affects how your photos feel, so here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Golden Hour (sunset): Romantic, warm, glowy, perfect for outdoors
-
Overcast Day: Soft, moody, and even light, ideal for forest or cozy indoor shoots
-
Midday Sun: bold and contrasty, best for editorial vibes or studio play
-
After Dark: Cinematic, quiet, and intimate, think café windows, car lights, neon signs
Let’s choose the light that matches your vibe.
WHAT MATTERS MOST
The best photos happen when you forget I'm there
This session is about documenting your date, not just taking photos. We’ll be running, playing, laughing, moving together in ways that feel natural to you. The magic lives in the moments between the poses: the way you look at each other mid-laugh, the way your hands meet as you walk, the way your story feels. Don’t stress the trends, comfort, connection, and confidence are what matter most.
You don’t need to perform. You don’t need to be anything but exactly who you are with each other.
I’ll be there to gently guide you when needed, but mostly, I’ll just be documenting the beautiful, imperfect, unforgettable ways you show up for each other.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you. My style guide is packed with tips to help you choose outfits that feel like you, photograph beautifully, and complement the vibe of your session. Whether you’re going barefoot in a field or dressing it up downtown, this guide will make getting ready easy (and even fun).
