Photo Session Guide
These are just suggestions, not strict rules. The most important thing is that you enjoy the experience, relax, and don’t overthink every movement. Genuine moments always look better than perfect poses.
A real smile, a spontaneous laugh, or a natural look of love between you is far more valuable than a forced pose. The goal of the session is to capture you, not a rigid version of you.
Just be yourselves and have fun.

FAQ
What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
That’s completely normal. Most people are not professional models. I will guide you through simple movements and interactions so you don’t have to worry about what to do.
What if the weather is not perfect?
Cloudy weather is actually great for photos. If conditions become extreme (heavy rain or unsafe conditions) we can always reschedule or adjust the plan.
Can we bring ideas or inspiration photos?
Of course. If you have photos you like, feel free to share them. They help me understand your style and what you are looking for.
What if we arrive a little nervous or stressed?
That’s okay. The first few minutes are usually just to get comfortable. The session flows naturally once you start moving and interacting.
