INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES SESSION

PREPARATION GUIDE

Ready to capture some beautiful moments? This guide is here to help you feel prepared and excited for your session! Whether it’s a solo shoot or a couples session, this will cover everything you need to know for a smooth and fun experience.

On the Day: Relax and Be Present


The key to a great session is to stay relaxed and in the moment.

For individuals, this is a time to focus on showing your true self, and for couples, it’s about celebrating your connection.


Go with the flow

Don’t worry if everything doesn’t go as planned—sometimes the unexpected moments make for the best photos.

Think of the session as part of a special day. For couples, maybe plan an outing or date before or after to keep things lighthearted and fun. For individual sessions, treat it as time for yourself. Just avoid adding pressure by using treats as incentives—we’re here to capture genuine moments, not forced smiles.


This isn’t just a photo session—it’s an opportunity to celebrate yourself or your relationship! Think of it as a special day for you. If you’re doing a couples session, maybe plan a fun date before or after, like brunch or a movie. For individuals, treat yourself before the shoot—whether it’s a coffee, a walk, or some time to reflect and feel good. This mindset makes the session feel less like a task and more like a memorable experience.


Wear What Makes You Feel Great

Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable. For couples, aim for complementary colors that work well together without matching too closely. For individuals, stick to styles that reflect your personality. Avoid busy patterns or large logos that could distract from the photos. The more comfortable you feel, the more natural the shots will be.


Individual Sessions: Show Your True Self

Whether you’re capturing a milestone, personal branding, or just want some beautiful portraits, individual sessions are all about you. This is your time to shine, so feel free to bring out different sides of your personality. We’ll try a mix of looks—from serious to playful—so you have a variety of images that truly represent who you are.

  • Bring Your Confidence: It’s natural to feel a little nervous in front of the camera, but just trust the process. I’ll guide you with poses and movement, and before you know it, you’ll feel comfortable and confident.
  • Props or Personal Items: Feel free to bring along any personal items, props, or wardrobe changes that reflect your style or story. Whether it's a favorite book, a jacket, or something meaningful, these little touches can add depth to your session.


Couples: Highlight Your Connection

For couples, think of this as a chance to highlight your connection. Hold hands, laugh, embrace, and just be yourselves. Authenticity is what makes for the most stunning photos. If one of you feels more comfortable leading, great! If not, I’ll give plenty of direction to make sure you both feel at ease.

  • Movement: Don’t be afraid to move around, laugh, or share a sweet moment. When you interact naturally, it creates dynamic and real photos.
  • Stay Present: This session is about capturing your unique relationship. So, focus on each other, enjoy the moment, and forget the camera is even there!


Light and Timing

We’ll schedule the session to make the most of natural light, usually during sunrise or sunset for that soft, golden glow. Arriving on time is important to ensure we can capture the best lighting.


Trust the Process

At the end of the day, this session is about capturing you as you are—whether that’s as an individual or as a couple. Let go of the idea of perfection, and embrace the real, unscripted moments. These are the ones that will truly shine in your photos. Let’s make something amazing together!
