Your engagement photos are a beautiful celebration of your love story. But if you're feeling a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, you're not alone! Let's explore some ways to help you feel confident and at ease during your session, so your true connection shines through.


Dress for Success (and Comfort!)


Choosing the right outfits can make a world of difference in how you feel. Here are some tips:

Mix it up: Bring a variety of styles that reflect your personalities. Maybe start with a casual look for those candid, natural shots, then change into something a bit dressier for your urban, modern vibe.

Layer and accessorize: This gives you options to switch up your look without a full outfit change. A stylish jacket or some statement jewelry can transform your photos.

  • Comfort is key: While you want to look your best, make sure you can move and feel like yourself. If you're constantly adjusting or feeling restricted, it'll show in the photos.

Location, Location, Location


Whether you're drawn to city streets or rustic landscapes, choosing the right backdrop can boost your confidence:

I’ll scout it out: Whenever possible, I’ll visit your photo locations beforehand. You’re welcome to come with me. Familiarity can help ease nerves on the day of the shoot.

Make it meaningful: Choose spots that hold special memories for you as a couple. Your comfort and joy in these places will naturally shine through.

Embrace the environment: If you're in an urban setting, interact with the architecture. In nature, don't be afraid to sit on that log or wade into that stream (if it's safe, of course!).

I’m Your Photographer: Your Confidence Ally

By the time. your session date arrives, you’ll have already met with your me multiple times. Use this established relationship to your advantage:

Share your concerns: Let me know about any specific worries, like feeling awkward about posing. I’m a pro at making couples feel at ease.

Ask for direction: Don't be afraid to request guidance on poses or expressions. I’m happy to offer plenty of gentle direction.

Trust new ideas: I can see unique angles or unexpected backdrops at any location. You’d be surprised how the most unlikely places yield the most amazing results.


Embrace the Candid Moments


Some of the most beautiful photos happen when you're just being yourselves:

Focus on each other: Instead of thinking about the camera, concentrate on your partner. Share inside jokes, whisper sweet nothings, or simply gaze into each other's eyes.

Keep moving: Walking hand-in-hand, twirling your partner, or even having a playful chase can create natural, joyful shots.

Laugh it out: If you're feeling stiff, take a moment to be silly together. Those genuine laughs make for magical photos.

Remember: It's All About You Two

At the end of the day, these photos are a celebration of your unique love story:

Be authentically you: Don't try to recreate poses you've seen online if they don't feel natural. Your genuine connection is what will make your photos truly special.

Enjoy the experience: Think of this as a fun date, not a formal photo shoot. The more you relax and enjoy each other's company, the more your photos will reflect your real relationship.


Your engagement session is a beautiful opportunity to capture this exciting chapter in your lives. By focusing on your connection, embracing your surroundings, and trusting your photographer, you'll create images that truly reflect the joy and love you share. Remember, the most important thing is that you're together, celebrating your commitment. Everything else is just icing on the cake!
