Couples/Engagement
Lifestyle Sessions
Whether you are dating, soon to be married or have been married for years, there is something dynamic about photographing two people in love. It doesn’t require acting or pretending, maybe just a little direction. It is my goal to capture your personality. I focus more on capturing moments, real moments, with each other like laughing, hugging and playing together because those are the moments you remember! These sessions can take place at a outdoor location or in your home for a more intimate session.
Let's meet into the place that makes you happiest, with your favorite person, and with your favorite snack
Lifestyle
All sessions include:
Pre-Session
Together, we will decide the location, time and day of your session. Once details are decided, a signed contract and 50% retainer will be required to book your session. I will send you a contract and invoice via email. You can sign and pay online! After I receive these two things, your time and date will be reserved! Please feel free to ask ANY questions.
This time is yours and I want you to be as comfortable and confident about our shoot as I am.
Day of Session
My favorite part! A typical shoot takes 1 hour. Typically sessions will begin an hour before sunset. We will either meet in your home or at an outdoor location and go from there! Be prepared to have some fun because we'll likely be jumping, running, laughing, laying in the grass and snuggling up close.
Post-Session
Within two weeks, your professionally edited photographs will be available for viewing and downloading from your own on-line gallery. This online gallery will be yours to share as well! Be sure to save these photographs in a safe place on your computer because I will only hold them for 1 year. There you can print pictures or other products directly.
You will have roughly 20 high resolution images with permission to reproduce as you wish.

Document your Family session with a Lifestyle Video
A 2-5 minute timeless film is available to add on to your portrait session. Please let me know prior to shoot day, if you decide to have one created as well.
ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?
So we have even more of a reason to shoot an engagement session together!
Use the photos...
- for save the dates
- for engagement party thank you cards
- on your wedding invitations
- on your wedding website
- for social media announcements
- to print and begin decorating your new home together
- to decorate your wedding venue
- for gifts for your parents in law (idk maybe they want a pic of your face in their home?!)
A lot of my couples choose to take engagement photos because it's the perfect opportunity to practice being in front of the camera and shake off paparazzi nerves (if any). We can have fun without the time pressure of hurrying off to cut the cake (though we all love cake). Most importantly, you get to remember the JOY of this 'engaged' season which is only so short.
I honestly see the value of these sessions and think that this is one of the BEST decisions a couple can make before their wedding day, so if you're also booking your wedding with me, you get $100 off the 2 hour package ;)
