A Playful Session with Your Partner
Your Next Date Night
There tends to be a common misconception about when you “should” do a Photo Session, especially with your Significant Other. Most do Sessions to celebrate anniversaries, engagements, pregnancies, and of course Weddings. However the truth is you dont need a big celebration to Book a Session and take Pictures with you Partner!
ACTIVITY IDEAS
Bike Riding
Having a Picnic
Reading Books
Painting
Walks on the Beach
Hiking
Baking Cookies in Your House
Flying a Kite
Taking you Dog for a Walk
The best thing that you can do for yourself to have the best time is make sure these Activities feel like you. When you look back on these moments you can say “yeah we loved riding bikes together!”. Thats why this Session was a blast because this couple is so active together it just made sense. And the love and emotion came so naturally.
The Planning
Location
It can be somewhere you both are familiar with or somewhere new! I also love doing location scouting so if you have a vision but not a destination thats where I step in! I will go out to several spots during the agreed time of day for the Session and send my clients photos of the spot until we find one thats the perfect match!
outfits
Like I said earlier, has dressed up or as casual as you want it. I've have some clients that get their hair done, where that new dress they’ve been waiting too use for a special occasion, some clients want it as normal and as everyday as it comes. With jeans and a t-shirt! Whatever it is make it so when you look back on these photo s and say “thats exactly how I dressed”. Also a tip from a photographer if you wear something you are not comfortable in its going to show up in Photos. The important thing to remember is to not overthink it, also to stay away from crazy patterns. Neutrals are usually a safe bet!
Its all about being happy, in love, and confident!
the day!
The activity is planned, the props (if any needed) are here, the location is decided, the outfits are perfect. Now it's time to spend some wonderful quality time with your partner! I will guide you through with prompts and poses. But the most important thing you can do is be yourselves. What that means if I say hey hold hands, hold hands how you usually do, you dont need to mix it up for the photos. Also to note that I am fully aware that not all couples are into PDA and that is totally ok and normal! I will always meet you where youre at and never ask for you both to do somethings that isn't you. The Photograph is just as impactful as the moment because when you see these photos it will transport you back to the day, you'll remember how you felt, and that is just as important to me.
